The following went out to every journalist on the Hill today from the Liberal Party of Canada:

    H. Rackham's 1914 translation (with major source of Lorem Ipsum highlighted):[2]

    [32] But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
    [33] On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

    is this normal cooperation between the MSM and a political party?

    The 55 sec clip on the CBC website links directly to Liberal Party Vault.

    Liberal Vault embedded video on CBC

    Did the CBC embed videos from other political parties on their website before? Is it my radar overly sensistive or is this helping hand a concern?

    Honestly, I wouldn't put too much thought into that... Rosie Barton clearly picked the link from the Libs YouTube vault because it was easier than making their own copy of the video and uploading it on the CBC site...

    It may be a little lazy, but otherwise, little more.
  • Name
    Is this for real? This blows my mind. How they translates that into Latin in the first place beats me.
  • gimbol
    Steve:

    Well, haven't the critics been demanding some new policy from the LPC for some time now?
    Here you have it. The liberals should they form government will table legislation to make latin our third official language.
    Now, as an aside, remember that stunt WK pulled with the Barney doll?
    I'd love to see a political panel in the near future where the conservative pundit returns the favour.
