Eeni Meeni Miini Leader

Posted on 01/09/2011 by admin

The news today is all about Libya. The UK and the USA have finally managed to get revenge on Gaddafi for Lockabie and the killing of Yvonne Fletcher on London streets. On the forty second anniversary of his coup Gaddafi is no longer recognised as a leader. So now a new leader is being proposed. The symbolism of one leader going and a new one coming with seamless ease is exactly what ‘the king is dead, god save the king’, is all about.

I truly hope the future of the human race comes with no leaders. This endless troupe of useless people who cause wars, write ridiculous laws and try from a  distance to tell millions of people what to do has to end. If we educated our children to carry with them ethical values (and I did not say moral values which people get so upset about) we would not need leaders to speak for us.

It’s a one world view of course but it is a better way of handling our affairs than this power brokerage that every country is indebted too. The price of this system is too high. If you have courts judges and civilised values you don’t need Parliaments. They get too corrupt and they entrench class systems.
