This could especially be so, if the Scottish National Party were to do badly in the General Elections. Which could then be seen as a rebuttal of their courageous independent and Europeanised leader, Nicola Sturgeon. If the outcome of this general election is to be determined simply by national political, economic and party political standing, then.  There can be little doubt that the Tories should, at least, end up with a majority of the electoral seats, and, at worse, with a landslide.  With a possible wipe-out for the British Labour Party. Which has simply misspent the critical months since Edward Miliband desert the Party.  After David Cameron won the 2015 general election, and Jeremy Corbin became its unlikely leader.  A crucial opportunity has been spent navel gazing and bitching, instead of building a credible opposition to the Tories.  Consequently, the Labour Party, instead of being ready to take advantage of just the kind of opportunity which an in-term general e

For thousands of years, humans, first the priests, shaman, and the clergy, and then the ordinary people, have sought to speak with the gods, and then for the gods, always being secure in the knowledge that the gods would not denounce what they have reported of these conversations. So, why have the gods remained silent? Why have the gods chosen not to speak for themselves? You see, G.Only then will you truly become  credible  for us.  Consider the Muslims, G. The more traditional amongst them proclaim that it is blasphemous to have any images representing God.  They would even claim that you, G, are so powerful that it is unimaginable for mere humans like us to perceive of your nature.  This, of course, G. Is not the case, because, as you know, we humans have and are acting to constantly increase over dominance over the earth and exploring the visible planets and universes around us.  The concept and practice of theism is no longer able to hide and remain mystified

The 'judicial murder' of death row inmates does not only incriminate the elites of the American States and Federal judiciary.  It also incriminate the prison guards and other lower order penal and other functionaries. For whom, their participation in the ghastly process have become just 'a part of their job.' A rather Kafkaesque affair. Arkansas is one of 31 states in the United States with the death penalty, compared with 19 states which have given up their questionable 'right' to inflict capital punishment on people convicted of murder.  This shows that Arkansas believes, still, in the law of retribution and revenge. An 'eye for an eye', 'a life for a life.' An 'Old Testament' penal policy.   Which places it and the other 31 states on par with the conservatism and the judicial anachronism which one might expect to find in countries with less enlightened approaches towards crime and punishment.  Not what you might have exp

For thousands of years, humans, first the priests, shaman, and the clergy, and then the ordinary people, have sought to speak with the gods, and then for the gods, always being secure in the knowledge that the gods would not denounce what they have reported of these conversations. So, why have the gods remained silent? Why have the gods chosen not to speak for themselves? G.: Of course it does not, T. How could that sufficiently answer such a profound question? Especially when it is asked by the sceptic, the 'non-believer', the evolutionist, or simple a person seeking answers to imponderable questions. T.: Quite so, G. But us humans need to have answers, credible answers.  Because we consider ourselves to be 'rational' and 'logical' beings. Yes, I am aware of the fact that this 'rationality' and 'logic' of which I speak is oftentimes not evident in our actions, and that there are times when it is the exact opposite of what we sa

Now that we are in the age of political consumerism. An age where probably most people no longer wish to follow 'ideological purism.' But want to take a middle course, where they can have and benefit from the best options the different parties have to offer, or are promising. As and when it is an opportune time for them to do so. Which makes good sense, considering that, any leader who slavishly follows an ideology, irrespective of its outcome and impact on the people, is clearly not a leader to follow. Yes, it does bring to mind whether, and, if so, to what extent Francois Hollande had acted prudently and as a true 'national leader.'  In pursuing policies which have probably contributed, to a large extent, to the defeat of the Socialists. In pondering this question, it could be helpful to bear in mind the likelihood that.  Any political leader, who, upon assuming the role of 'national leader.'  Fail to be guided by a clear, coherent

So, should the French people be feeling disappointed or pleased with themselves.  Following the outcome of the first round of their two rounds election for the next President of France? Well, like in any other country, whether the French people react with a sense of pleasure, chagrin, or a simple shrug of the shoulder. Is likely to depend on which of the numerous parties running for the Presidency they voted for.  If they voted for Macron's reputed 'centrist' movement, or Le Pen's 'sanitised' 'rightist' party, they might be feeling happy and excited. Even though Le Pen's Front Nationale is not being given any good prospects of beating Macron's movement in the May 7th final round of the elections. If, alternatively, they voted for Hamon's Socialist Party, or Jean-Luc Melenchon's leftist party, or Fillon's Rightist Party, or any of the also ran parties, disappointment, frustration and feelings of bitterness and recri
