JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE NECESSITY OF TO SACRIFICES OF GERMANY'S SPD AND ITS COALITION PARTNERS. THE END..!

Thus he can expect to be 'demonised' and be 'discarded.' As the 'media life' of a politician can be very ephemeral, when he/she is not in government, and is being lauded or is under intense fire. Notwithstanding his detractors, those who would opportunistically blame him for 'compromising' the fate of the SPD.   The German people and the political establishment should probably thank Martin and the SPD for their very significant contribution and sacrifices.  In helping to remove the spectre of instability and insecurity from the German po.litical and economic landscape. The CDU and the CSU, as well as the German people, will also have to make their own sacrifices to help bring about the Grand Coalition Government, and dispel the clouds of uncertainty over the nation.  Angela Merkel is likely to find that she might have to change some of her policies and implement others more slowly.  She might have to go slower on her migrant and refugee

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON THE MIXED MESSAGES OF WOMEN'S STRUGGLE FOR ADVANCEMENT. PART 3

Let us first free ourselves, and then we will help others to free themselves, seems to be the underlying principle, behind this 'meism', or 'meistic' approach.  Of course, it is and will never be as simple as that, since some of the other groups are likely to have some of their 'rights' being denied by the 'newly freed or liberated group'.  This apparent paradox is not surprising. Since all societies and all people, while having common positive interests, which they share with others.  Will also have common prejudices and vices which separate them and prevent them coming together to fight more effectively for their common good.  Homophobic people, for example, some fundamentalist religious followers, might choose not to participate in a struggle which would benefit them, because of the involvement of LGBT people in the movement.  Fundamentalist Muslims and Christians might choose not to participate in women's struggle for m

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE NECESSITY OF TO SACRIFICES OF GERMANY'S SPD AND ITS COALITION PARTNERS. PART 1.

It is nearly been completed; the agreement between the three parties forming Germany's next Grand Coalition Government, barring the hopefully, unlikely event of the SPD members not voting to support the agreed deal. Of them not heeding the 'Brexit-like' we will go our own way', message of JUSOS, and its media adored young leader, Kevin Kuhnert. All 3 political parties, the SPD, CDU and the CSU, have had to make some sacrifices in achieving the coalition agreement they have arrived at.  Of course, the cost is likely to be different, as we can see from Martin Schulz having decided to step down from leading the SPD, in his attempt to appease the more vociferous and vengeful of his SPD detractors.  This is a massive personal sacrifice Martin Schulz has had to make, in sacrificing his political career within the sphere of Germany's political establishment.  How big a sacrifice it is for the Social Democrat Party, is something which is not going to become

Starlings Meeting Up And Hanging Out!

This is a short, short video of a flock of Starlings hanging out on their favourite tree on a blue skied mild Winter's Day. Clearly having a nice time without the any mobile phones or other social media accessible tools. Relying entirely on their chittering and sound waves. Please take a look and/or have a listen, and see if you can find anything that causes you to marvel at the complex evolutionary journey of life forms and the ability to comprehend them.

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE BREXETEERS CITING OF 'SECURITY' AS THE EXCEPTION TO BRITAIN GOING ALONE. THE END..!

Image
Well, if, as seems to be the case, this is so, it is an argument which is full of gaping homes. The threat from the Islamic extremists is only one threat which Europe and the United Kingdom faces.  But it is also a threat which is given rise to by factors which might not be immediately, although it should be, seen as relating to 'security.'  The adverse impact of reduced business activity on Brexited Britain's economy. Of loss of job and prospects of young people realising their dreams of having a good life.  Can be just as damaging as Islamic extremist using traditional arms of weaponised vehicles to attack people. Unemployment and despair are security 'risks.  So, cooperating with the European Union to maintain British jobs, and facilitating the free movement of people. So that British and EU  citizens can freely cross their borders in search of jobs and better prospects, are also valid and crucial ways of 'keeping British and EU citizens safe.&#

JUST A THOUGHT - ON SEPROD'S PLANNED MASSACRE OF JAMAICA'S ENVIRONMENT AND CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE. THE END..!

This include the infrastructural road networks which the Chinese Government has played a major and decisive role in creating.  Necessary and helpful as these road systems are, they also have the undesirable effect of weakening the country's ecosystem.   And making it more vulnerable to soil erosion, mudslides and flooding, as mountains are eaten into and forestry and vegetation are removed, leaving the open to being parched by the Sun. So, with the country already being severely stressed, in terms of its eco-system, wild life habitats, risk of poisoning of the soil and the people and faunal and floral life.   Why is it that the government of Jamaica, has decided to make matters worse, by giving Seprod permission to plant hundreds of acres of Palm Oil plants in Jamaica?  Why is this necessary, considering that there are much larger countries in Africa and Asia, which are already in the scorched earth Palm Oil business? Is this primarily about 'oiling' the

JUST A THOUGHT - ON GODS AND HUMANS, AND THE NEED FOR THE GOD/S BE TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE! PART 5.

If the Christina god is so all powerful, so omnipotent, so omniscient, then.  Why has he been standing aside, looking elsewhere and apparently closing his eyes to the injustices which his followers have been perpetrating on themselves and others?  In his name? Why is it that he is being presented as being an even more 'loving' more 'sweet', in times when the suffering of humans increased?  Is it that god, be he the god of the Jews, of the Muslims, of the Christians, the Sikhs, the Hindus, Buddhists, et al, have no responsibility for the actions of their followers?  Is this why they do not have to be accountable and transparent for their actions, through their agents, their followers, in the affairs of the humans and their world? Or is it the case that the gods, outside of the imaginations of humans, are not sentient, not logical or reasonable, and not, after all, the personalised gods which humans have tried to make them into? Is it the case that we can o
