  So, what is my take on this issue; that people, including children, should be artificially kept alive, if their parents and/or family insists that this should be done?  This being a very topical issue in Britain at present, following the most recent case which have been exhaustively done the rounds.  With the child's parents refusing to accept the conclusion of the medical professionals, the their son has, unfortunately, died.   And that it was in the child's best interest that his ventilator, the machine which was doing his breathing for him, should be switched off.  As, the medical professionals argued, by way of my summation, he would not regain the state of autonomous living again. Yes, from a personal perspective, we, or most of us can appreciate how difficult it is for us humans to 'accept' death.  Especially the untimely demise of young children, even though the people of some cultures might handle the associated grief better than some western or European cultu

  Nuclear war is now more likely to occur than it was in the 1960s, even without the 'Cuban Nuclear Weapons Crisis.' How is this likely? This comment is in response to an article written by The Guardian's Columnist, Simon Tisdall, entitled Nuclear apocalypse was postponed in 1968. Now it’s back on the agenda The problem is partly that the world's leaders need to come together and review and amend the rules.  The problem is also partly about the two-headed Demon: Religion and 'Western Democracy.'  We can see evidence of the latter in Pelosi's crass 'I don't give a damn' attitude in precipitating the current crisis over Taiwan.  We can also see that part of the problem is Putin's shocking and brutal reaction to Nato's expansion into eastern Europe. Yes, there is no doubt that in this and/or not distant generations, the world is fated to experience the destructive  force of nuclear and climate wars.  There is a greater need for world leaders

  So, yes, it really is the case that Formula 1 grand prix races have not been as they used to be last year and several years before.  At least in some significant respects, most noticeably being the Team Mercedes' pedestrianesque start to the 2022 Season, and the absence of the often, frequently exclaimed refrain of "go Lewis; another great win", from his Team.  Similarly has the voice of Hamilton's detractors with their regular refrain of "it is all down to Lewis' car why he keeps winning races and championships, been stilled or replaced with cries of how the par excellence race is not as great as he has been painted.  As if the only mark of greatness, is the kind where the racer is able to race and win races with a car without similar pace to its nearest rivals and where the racer does not have to overcome the challenges of poor race strategies and the adverse interventions of the gods. Indeed, "go Lewis" has, understandably, been replaced with &

This leads me to an experience I had with an internally leaking toilet flush.  So, the problem I had was this: I flushed the cistern, but it was not refilling, as the water entering it from the intake pipe was leaking out of the cistern into the toilet.  The first challenge I had was to diagnose the problem; to find out what was causing this to happen.  On reflection, I can now perceive how this should have been seen as 'a case of the relevant opening and closing valve which lets the water into the toilet pan to flush it, is not closing properly.  I would have liked to have approached trying to resolve the problem in a more more methodical manner, including having made the hypothesis that it was something blocking the bottom flush valve.  And then focus on trying to finding out if that was indeed the cause. Which it would transpire to have been. Anyway, my non professional approach was to repeatedly press the flush button and press the flush system down onto its base, to see if the

  Not everybody has a home, in the 'normal understanding of what 'a home' signifies.  In its broader concept, we could define 'home' as the specific place where we normally live and sleep.  From this we can have a workable understanding of what home maintenance should or ought to be.  Which is namely to keep our home and its contents in reasonably good working order.  Maintaining our homes can be a costly business, which is why it is both cost-effective and prudent for us to learn and equip ourselves as much as we can, to keep our homes and the utilities and equipment in it a reasonable state.  This includes things like keeping the outside and inside of our homes and the equipment in it clean, and handing things with care, so as to minimise the occurrence of intended damage and wear and tear. There is a risk of causing damage and/or sustaining personal harm arising from us attempting to perform home maintenance.  So it is necessary for us to do the necessary homewor

Thou the Sun be vital for the the continuation of all life, it is to the Moor that us humans own most of our affection. Probably partly because we can gaze upon her luminous face in wonder and with not much risk of being blinded or consumed by her countenance.  

It is of vital importance and benefit to our human species that our young should continue to have hope in our humanity and in  our collective ability to improve our conditions of our existence. It is in the young of our species that we will and can find hope, optimism and a sense of 'can do.'  This is because our young people have not had their innocence and their optimism, their sense of aspiration abused and battered by blunt experience like those of us who have lived longer than they have.  Of course, with the now intense and pervasive intrusiveness of the internet and national and multi-national media and social media agencies.  Our young are now being targeted by and/or are massively susceptible to being bombarded by processed information about what is happening globally at an earlier age.  Something which means that 'there age of innocence' has been greatly compacted and/or shortened. Although this phenomena will have some merits for both the impacted young people
