We visited a community of Northern Displaced IDPs in Puttlam recently. This was part of our Peace and Governance initiative, an effort to improve cohesion between youth and the entity we call Governance.

In 1774 Samuel Johnson printed The Patriot; a critique of what he thought was false patriotism. He made his famous statement ‘Patriotism is the last refuge of the Scoundrel’ on April 7th, 1775. This line was not about patriotism in general – but what patriotism was not. With this statement he defined ‘self confessed patriots’ [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beyondborders.wordpress.com&blog=268112&post=721&subd=beyondborders&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Spoiling the vote
Quite a few people I’ve spoken to are spoiling their vote. This, to me, doesn’t really make sense. On the one hand, I can see how spoiling your vote is you showing your displeasure at all of the candidates, but that will probably have as much effect as sticking your tongue out at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=beyondborders.wordpress.com&blog=268112&post=713&subd=beyondborders&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
