Richard Wright: Wanted: hope

and glory, Aug. 18

Richard Wright's new book, What is America: A Short History of the New World Order, is mainly about the U.S. neocon model, but it offers a lesson for Canada if Stephen Harper is allowed unfettered power.

The Conservatives are building a society where money is put into prisons instead of day care, bombs instead of Bach, and as Wright points out, if such polices continue we will soon be a Third World country. I can think of no better reason for an early fall election.
