I do watch the interviews with Americans by the BBC and others at their elections. The ordinary people who are voters; and the reasons they give for voting the way they do. I object many times to being subject to the ignorance and selfishness of these people. Voting on what happens to them with no…
I Can Only Guess
at how much the banks and businesses are losing to online hacking. My log-ins to ordinary sites have now instituted yet another layer of security and a few people have had the same experience I had, of money being taken through the debit card and neither the police nor the bank fraud department going to…
If Only Teachers …
were allowed teach. The Greeks gave us what we consider to be the foundation of our modern ideas of nations, if not the foundation of nationhood itself being ingrained with some democratic values (they did vote for some stuff). Teaching thought is interesting because as adults they believed in deep discussion and were impressed enough…
Unknown Source
I sometimes say things in conversation and I have no idea where the idea formulated in that particular way. I often have to think before I talk, and formulate in my conscious mind something along the lines of my thoughts, but these instances where it just appear in my mouth with no relation I can…

We used to pick them for the vases and in the house they even give off a slight perfume. I associate them with great happiness because…
When All Was Young
I heard again the old saying that we realise as we get older and wiser what we missed knowing when we were young. He was talking about the digital blood festival that is Starship Troopers and the fact that the people in it live in a fascist state. I don’t know but I was always…
Throw Me A Conspiracy
The situation is bizarre. Nothing is interpreted for what it is. A learned behaviour from years of being lied to? Not Really. It is the extreme end of the way in which politicians and leaders have manipulated public pion over hundreds of years,. The way in Pope’s were hypocrites and monarchs devilish but nothing was…
How They Are Laughing Now
