And yet, I know of no mention Europeans having gone to the 'new world' to free people who were being enslaved and oppressed by the elites of their own kind, or by the people of another tribe.  So, why is it that elites of us humans seem to have an almost innate desire to conquer and dominate those whom they see or perceive as 'different to them'?  How is it that those who have benefited from the European enlightenment, then went off to the Americas to attack, subdue and dominate its native people and build what has now become 'rain-bow nations.'  Seek to continue to attack, exploit and dominate other countries around the world? Why is it the elites in the United States of America, have now declared a genocidal war on Iran and its people.  Having already broken the people of Iraq, Yemen and Libya, and trying to do the same to Syria? First trying to economically cripple the country and making its people's lives a misery, and th

Even if he has the tendency to 'appropriate' and/or re-interpet all or most of what he considers to be the positive and esteemed aspects of the lives of he dominates or seeks to dominate. Human enlightenment, it seems, does not take place in the context of a continuum.  Rather, it seems to be a process with intermittent periods of 'light', 'darkness', 'bright light', 'extreme darkness', 'stagnation', 'deterioration', but not necessarily in that order.  Which is why the same Europe which pulled together and blend the rays of light emanating from both itself and parts of other continents.   And gave the world the period of enlightenment which eventually broke the shackles and yokes of the intellectually crippling bond of Christianity, in Europe.  Is also the same Europe that thereafter sent its people to Africa, Asia and the Americas to subject the people of the 'new world' to the darkness

Having been, like his team mate, Hamilton, blessed with probably all the essential ingredients, except probably that of not having won any Championship as yet, and not having developed the habit of winning championships.  But what the heck; that can be put right by winning this one, Bottas might be thinking. Bottas, like Hamilton, has the car for winning championship; Car 77.  He has the personal qualities and racing skills, such as the fearlessness, the focus and concentration, the hunger and pride, and he has the ability to sync his car with Team Mercedes and the circuits and win Poles.  Thereby placing himself in the best position to win races on Sunday. For reasons which might not be clear, Hamilton continues to be unable to reclaim his past strength of winning most of the Poles in Qualifying.  And is therefore having to be dependent on vicissitude of the races to determine whether he wins this or that race. So, what of today, Sunday; how will the continu

Valtteri Bottas is on a mission, with a big M, and it is one which he has advanced strongly in the Qualifying session of the Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying session.  By Winning Pole Position and leaving his team mate and current Drivers' Champion, the dominant Lewis Hamilton, literally in the shadows of the session.  Bottas has done this by repeating, if not actually exceeding, and achievement Hamilton claimed last year, in claiming Pole by a massive 0.6 second gap between him and Hamilton.  This makes it look as if Hamilton was walking during the Qualifying session, while his team mate was 'road running, on fire.' Sebastian Vettel, in the Ferrari stable, was able to claim P.3, as the star of his challenging team mate, Charles Leclerc, waned somewhat during the Qualifying session. So, A Big Congratulation to the remodelled Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes, for having made it another P.1 and P.2 in Qualifying.  And to Sebasti

There is something fundamentally wrong with the state of international affairs in the world today.  Especially as it applies to how the Government of the United States and the European states comprising the European Union continue to behave towards the people of other countries.  Especially those which are peopled by populations that are not of white, Christian backgrounds. The ethnocentric of European nations and governments' attitude toward the peoples of what could be characterised as 'the rest of the world.'  Those inhabiting the African, Asian and South American continents, has long been known for its quintessentially racist nature.  This approach, probably somewhat naturally, holds that the 'norms of European, western European standards and values.'  Are what should be used to measure the relative 'humanity and civilisation' of other nations. I am not going to analyse the merits of this approach now, a

T.: Well, you see, G. It is about the birth of the one whom our ancestors, the ancestors of us humans, have proclaimed, or have said to have proclaimed himself to be your Son. Jesus Christ, Son of God. G.: And what of this purported 'Son of God', Taku. What do you wish or want to tell or ask me about him? T.: Well, G. I have read, in the Bible, under the scriptures of Matthew. That Jesus Christ, who was born of Mary Magdalene, a woman who was married or betrothed to Joseph.  Was not really the child or son of Joseph. But was, in fact, a child who was conceived by you, God. G.: And what is it that you want me to comment on, Taku? T.: Well, G. Could this really have been so, that you, God, visited a man's wife, a human, and conceive a child with her, and therefore offended Joseph, her husband?  As well as risking Joseph turning his wife out, for having been unfaithful to him? G.: Well, T. What do you think? Share some of your thoughts about this story
