Update on Ian Lowden's health.
I am Ian's wife, Karen Lowden, and it is here that I must inform the viewer of Ian's Blogs, that on Sun., Sept. 19, 2010 Ian passed away quite suddenly at home. I was by his side and performed CPR for 17 minutes while on the phone with 9-1-1 and waiting for help to arrive. I believe that he was gone before he hit the floor. It will be a memory that will stay with me until I die, I am sure. As of yet there has been no C.O.D. (cause of death) decided by the coroners, and as I write this, it is Sat., Nov. 06, 2010. His "Celebration of Life" was held at the Rollo Centre on Sat., Oct. 23, 2010. As he passed away in front of me you can only imagine how incredibly upsetting this is for me. But anyone that knew us, knew that we cared for each other with everything that we had. I will miss him immensely and never forget him for whatever time I have left in my life. I will accept emails should anyone who reads this would like to know more. It is: karen.lowden@shaw.ca
Thank you so much for being a part of his life whether it be friendly or otherwise, Ian was never unforgettable.

Letter to the Sounder
In regards to Gabrielle Warden” letter about the deliberate misinformation that had police at her door.
Gabrielle, I doubt very much that the situation you experienced was as a result of the normal gossiping process. It happened much to quickly. I would suspect that whoever called the police did so deliberately as a way of trying to get back at your husband for some of his viewpoints.
The gossiping process usually takes longer and with incremental smaller lies being invented during the process. Regardless of whether it was normal malicious gossip or a deliberate attempt to cause you problems the base cause remains the same - gossips (like pedophiles and politicians) are lifestyles chosen by those with low self- image, much anger and viciousness toward others who they always blame for the unsatisfactory quality of their lives and relationships. Politicians, pedophiles and gossips share many characteristics and there is no known cure for them as they are consciously chosen lifestyles based on giving themselves the illusion of power and meaningfulness.
Most of the people on this island are decent people who would rather add to the quality of community life than destroy it. However, we have our share (like any community) of the worthless ”Nattering Nabobs of Negativity. These people are all somewhat psychopathic and they are very careful in who and when they target someone to alleviate their own self-hatred. They depend on their anonymity to protect them from any direct confrontation with the people they malign but eventually most people catch on and recognize them for what they are.
I have a number of articles on my blog about the inner workings of gossips and soon will be listing the names of known malicious gossips. I am also starting a series of articles on Pedophiles of Gabriola. Hope fully I will be developing a forum where people can report on who is gossiping about whom, as well as who is threatening whom, and who are the thieves and welfare cheats on the island. For more information on how to fight back against these snakes in the grass, see http://ianlowden.blogspot.com/
I feel especially bad about this situation you find yourself in given the threats and attempts to physically intimidate your husband for the heinous crime of publicly defending my right to free speech.

Recieved from a regular reader
For those that don't know all about history ... Here is a condensed version:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals, and
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.
And there you have it.

This week's letter to the Sounder feb6/09
To the Editor:
It has been interesting since my last letter to the Sounder. 2 phone calls really liked it and want to meet. 4 phone calls that could best be termed as more than a little rude - obscene and hate filled (am now filtering my calls so leave a message). Several attack e-mails and three public confrontations last time I was out. One of the Laytonites told me there were thousands of deserters and tens of thousand more "refusniks" (draft dodgers) in Canada from the Iraq war. Refused to believe that according to Immigration Canada there were less than 50 deserters, and were no draft dodgers because the American Military has been all volunteer for more than a generation. Another didn't know who Tommy Douglas or Ed Broadbent were, but did know that there were hundreds of Canadian deserters all over the world who had deserted from Afghanistan and that the Canadian government was covering it up. Some just ascribed colorful traits and suggested physical impossibilities, while others seemed concerned for my safety and suggested I move off the Island (much like in-laws).
I should have clarified in my article that Laytonites were only a minority of the NDP - but they are the ones in control of the party. The NDP used to stand for social justice, union rights, and a moderate brand of socialism. The Laytonites are left of Marx with the tactics of opportunists. Anything to get elected, anything for power including bribing the Separatists with taxpayer money for cabinet seats they could never achieve thru elections. Pierre Trudeau approached Ed Broadbent after the defeat of Joe Clarke’s 8-month government offering him an alliance and cabinet seats to avoid going to another election. Ed refused as he believed in democracy and that government should be elected by the people, not decided thru backroom deals. What a difference between that NDP and the Laytonites version.
I was already uncomfortable being an NDP because of the shift from being a party of alternatives to a party of attack ads to cover lack of policy, and a willingness to join the Liberals and the Separatists to bring down a legally elected government. For me the last straw was the deliberate using of a deserter for party policies. They knew they couldn't keep him in Canada, yet they deliberately lied to him. Then they tried to lie to all of us by calling him a War Resistor - I wouldn't want to be him in front of a court martial board with war resistor in my record - they will throw the book at him.
I think that people, especially journalists, should be careful to know when they offer help that they have the ability to deliver the promised help, and that the help they offer won't make the person’s situation worse. Above all people, even deserters, shouldn't be used for political purposes and then tossed away - notice the lack of mention or follow up on Cliff? Especially newspapers that claim to represent the community should use common sense not party policy.
When party policy beats common sense the publication ceases to be a "news" paper and becomes a party propaganda sheet. Looking at what the party has become and realizing that the majority of the NDP would never rise and take our party back I knew I could not continue to go on supporting the party nor could I remain silent about what I saw even though I knew it meant provoking the Lunatics Laytonites. The NDP used to be a party were truth and different views were respected not silenced thru threats and lies, but that was before the Laytonites took control.
