Swans
Commentary: Ideas, opinions, thoughts... and a flock of Swans. In a time of revisionism, faux-semblant, spinning news and skewed information, Swans is about thinking, questioning, observing, and providing ideas that are lacking in the mainstream media. Swans endeavours to bring food for thought to the readers and to provide a quality literary and political site on the Web. Swans is a co-operative and collegial effort. We look for people who understand that the only way not to play a game is to not play it; that problems cannot be solved by using the tools and thought processes that were used to create them in the first place.
