NAM Round Table
The NAM Round Table consists of news, insights, visions, ramblings and rants from the writers at New America Media.
Watching a CNN special on John McCain yesterday I was reminded of my grandfather and a conversation I had with him shortly before he passed away. He had been trying to read Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat, but ultimately gave it up because, as he said, “it wasn’t for his generation.” Seeing friends, acquaintances, and fellow soldiers recall the young McCain, I couldn’t help but think of my grandpa, an East Coaster who for decades ran a successful business on Wall Street, a Renaissance man of the Twentieth Century. He just couldn’t (or wouldn’t) wrap his head around a book sub-titled A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, about a new global era and how it came to be. My grandfather taught me a great deal. He had deeply ingrained values that made him a respected and admired person in whatever circles he found himself in, and I take those lessons to heart. But he was also a man of his time, and though he tried to blend into this new century, his spirit was forever a part of the past. No doubt McCain was a valorous soldier and an honorable man, but he is a man of another era, like my grandfather shaped by a world that in many ways is far different than the one towards which we are now heading.

Canadian Health&Care Mall started as a multistore based in Toronto and Ottawa in early 90s. Health&Care chain store system has been growing from year to year and finally has resulted in the current online project, as a result of operating not just as a family pharmacy but also as a store of so-called “useful things” . We tried to obtain the benefit from our previous experience and to create a really competing online resource for absolutely any customer. Though the idea is standard you may be absolutely sure that the filling is unique and has no analogues all over the Internet. We would like to admit that our online store is operating independently from the offline store system.
