    Decentralising your own self

    I'm no stranger to people who feel the importance of decentralising their own self for the common good. Most of my friends when I was young were lefties, liberals or even downright anarchists. They all felt the need to empower the 'group' rather than themselves. I joined in too. The effect of...

    Decentralising your own self

    I think everybody hates the idea of totalitarian states whereby everybody has to do what they are told to do by others. The Republicans counter the threat of totalitarianism by their policy of decentralisation and empowering the individual people. It is in the realm of the 'individual person'...

    WTF... Bob's your uncle...

    I'm Czech born, but I live in Britain. So English is technically my second language. It frazzles my brain! Everyone is up to speaking the language in their own way.....slang and rhyming slang is heard everywhere. The National newspapers (The Tabloids) are rife with it. Its like a national...

    Are you Politically obtuse?

    That is a good point. I used to 'see' politics emotionally, as I know many other people do too. In Britain the Conservatives are seen as elitist and selfish by some - which is a total emotional reaction to their policies. The trouble is that Politics stirs the feelings. It is very difficult to...

    Are you Politically obtuse?

    I admit it - I know very little about Politics. It was only in the last few years that I really understood what Republicanism and Conservatism stood for. As for the left; I don't know much about that either. I tend to be an emotional/artistic type. Politics is very complicated. It is...

    Can we have a robust welfare state without a police state?

    There are many countries in Europe which have strong welfare and civil liberties. I understand the Republican fear of over dominating governments but it seems that government can be regulated and managed without falling into totalitarianism. It seems like a very American fear - this liberty vs...

    Traditional Games

    Do you have anyone that you can play ASL against? I find it difficult to find opponents, so I tend to play solo. There is a vibrant online ASL community at Gamesquad Forums.

    Animals roaming free

    I went to the local pub this morning for a coffee. On the way I saw a fox running around in broad daylight. I figured that something must have disturbed it and it was looking for a new place to hide.

    Sam Peckinpah or Sergio Leone?

    Poor Peckinpah is trailing 6:1 at the moment. I figured he was more popular than that.

    Sam Peckinpah or Sergio Leone?

    Sam Peckinpah did three great films as far as I'm concerned; the war film Cross Of Iron with James Coburn. The classic western The Wild Bunch with William Holden and the western Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid with Kris Kristofersen and music by Bob Dylan. He also did the infamous film Straw Dogs...

    Your Favourite Disney Movie?

    Disney films need to be taken in their own right and not as true interpretations of the original stories.
