We have all heard the phrase ‘If you are young and not a Socialist you have no heart and if you are old and not a Conservative you have no brains’. My take on that is that you are young and have no money you want some and feel others in your situation deserve some as [...] In the past I have said that Socialism doesn’t work because we are not like ants and we are inherently selfish. Socialism requires the drones to sacrifice something of themselves in some way so the whole colony benefits. Ants will all sacrifice their lives for the colony. Now it appears that those willing to sacrifice themselves [...] Technology is a double edged sword. Stalin would have loved the database and analysis technology available today and it’s got to the stage where even the most docile among us is aware of what is going on and feeling a glimmer of concern. The latest bit of legislation, the Internet addresses being recorded, although talked about [...] Civilisation, the thin veneer of morality which covers all of us, is very fragile.

Social animals with a very complicated hierarchical structure to our society. We are omnivores with certain in built [...] I just want to point out something that we need to put on the table as a hurdle in our progress and by hurdle I mean a doozie. It is where we fit in the cosmos and the hurdles we must overcome for our species survival in my opinion. Just to show where we fit in [...] Now before we get started on current day issues I just want to point out something’s that we need to put on the table as long term issues and by long term I mean long term. Personally, I no longer see our society lasting for another thousand years. We are too selfish and have weapons that [...] |

How do relationships work?
If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you are a male chauvinist.

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.
If you don’t work enough, you are a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has [...]
