A THOUGHT FOR NOW - AFRICAN-AMERICA IS NOT SERVED BY ITS GAVIN LONGS AND MICAH JOHNSONS

Image
How do we get up there?Americans can come together and acknowledge and work to fix the inequalities in their nation, or they can continue to deny and ignore them and  become more societally fractured and dysfunctional. Americans by now will probably be tired of everybody, including Americans, telling them that they are now at a crossroad, with regards to their race equality and cohesion situation. And, to some extent, one can sympathise with those Americans who are feeling irked and thinking, why don't people leave us to get on with our own problems, as we have done in the past. After all, Americans of this persuasion might be thinking, given sufficient time, this hullabaloo will subside and we will all return to the status quo of maintaining our racially, economically and politically divided and unequal nation. Except that they might not see it as such, or, if they do, might not see anything wrong with such a situation. And that, of course, is a large part o

BRITAIN'S LABOUR PARTY LEADER - DOES JEREMY CORBYN AND HIS SUPPORTERS DESIRE THE DEATH OF THE PARTY?

Image
However great some of the Pharoahs might have been, the Sun has set on their kind of rule, and so it has on Jeremy Corbyn's. Jeremy Corbyn has now been the leader of the Labour Party for about one year, but, unlike a good leader, he has not been able to gain the support of his MP, or to get rid of them, as a result of which, he has not been able to stamp his authority on the Party he professes to lead. This is bad, very bad. Jeremy Corbyn has, for nearly a year now, been at war with his MPs, with not the slightest indication that he will be able to make his peace with them and gain their support, or that they or him are minded to bow out of this 'death struggle', for the good of the Party and the country which they say they want to govern. The mark of any leader of substance, has to be his/her good integrity and prudence. This requires that, in the case of Jeremy Corbyn, he demonstrates the necessary introspection and analysis of the situation he finds hims

A THOUGHT FOR NOW - AVOID USING HUMAN TRAGEDIES FOR POLITICAL CAPITAL

Image
People need the support of togetherness when they are encountering great adversity. How, then, can it be that, while France and the people of Nice, in particular, mourn their great and tragic loss of lives, some politicians can use this tragedy score political points? Take Marine Le Pen, eg, with her exhortation that France has the where withal to end these atrocious acts. Would it not be great is this was really the case, and, might we not have expected that Hollande's government would have known about and implement this brilliant and guaranteed strategy for winning the fight against these miscreants? So, is Marine Le Pen simply being reckless, dishonest, and/or engaging in wishful thinking, when she should know that what she has said is easier said than can be implemented?  Does she really imagine that, "double punishment" and deporting people to their countries of origins is going to stop these atrocities being committed, when all it takes, is for o

AN IMAGINARY CONVERSATION WITH GOD. PART ONE

Image
Our ancestors looked for god in the heavens, but what happens when humans develops the capability to travel to the heavens? Does god recedes further into the outreaches of space and become more distant? Hi, god, thanks for taking the time to have this conversation with me. Please forgive me is I appear a bit preoccupied and even slightly  apprehensive, as this is due to the fact that, no sooner do I begin to formulate a question or follow a line of thought, than I begin to think, do you already know what I am about to ask you or the line of thought I intend to follow. That, as you can imagine, leaves me somewhat disconcerted. It is probably right that we should begin by giving each other a brief outline of who we are, although, again, you might already know who I am or presumed to be, as I have been told that you know everything and is omnipotent. That as it may, please allow me to begin. Well, as you can see, I am a man of a certain ag
