And Speaking Of<br />
Election Time<br />
Who out there hasn't received a<br />
copy of a true blue little newsletter<br />
called The TaxReformer (with<br />
our nonpartisan mayor smiling<br />
from the cover)? The<br />
TaxReformer is putout by a group<br />
called Citizens for Property Tax<br />
Reform, 122 McGill Street. This<br />
issue, their second, wants us to<br />
believe that market value assessment<br />
in metro, a.k.a. property tax<br />
reform, is a monster of the provincia!<br />
NDPs making. Gee, we<br />
thought it was generic provincial<br />
greed for metrobucks, and metro<br />
greed for citybucks. It may be a<br />
realmonsterallright,sowhymake<br />
divisive party politics out of a<br />
grassroots issue?<br />

Not much that most of us can do.<br />
But if you're a health professional<br />
(i.e. eligible for grants) there's<br />
always a syndromeyoucanstudy.<br />
Here's an example: let's hypothesize<br />
that there's a condition<br />
called "Seasonal Affective Disorder"<br />
(SAD, for short). And let's<br />
observe that SAD happens most<br />
when there isn't any sunshine. So<br />
if we design a box that gives out<br />
light, like sunshine, then we can<br />
apply for grants - to study<br />
whether, once someone gets used<br />
to sitting in the box, she or he is<br />
less SAD than before. And after<br />
that we can apply for grants to<br />
design portable boxes so that SAD<br />
sufferers can get mobile again.<br />
Good idea, right? Only one<br />
problem. The Clarke Institute beat<br />
us to it.<br />
If you want to participate in the<br />
"largest ever study of the use of<br />
light therapy visors in the treatment<br />
of seasonal affective disorder"<br />
you must be "between the<br />
ages of 18 and 65, experiencing<br />
non-psychotic major d~pression<br />
of the seasonal sub-type according<br />
to psychiatric diagnostic crite<br />
.ria."<br />
