Crime, Punishment and Morality

Each day when we open the newspapers or switch on the TV, we are inundated with reports of crime, mostly of a violent nature.

Reality? Check!

The Oscar Pistorius case has resulted in thousands of comments by people of all colours and creeds, from all walks of life, but who all seem to have one thing in common: They all know the truth

What's so "Grand" about it?

I have been a horse lover all my life. I was raised on a farm and was riding horses before I rode bicycles or learned how to swim.

Where have all the leaders gone?

Four women spring to mind – four vastly different women who all left their marks in their countries, the world and in world history.

Are traditions edangering your children?

It has been the Easter weekend, and numerous Christian traditions and rituals have been followed all around the world.

Man and his environment are interdependent. We all need the Earth and what Mother Nature gives us in order to survive. As such, the acts of all sentient beings affect the environment in which they live.

Is cash King?

So this Cyprus-thing has really got people talking – and rightly so. For a number of years, people the world over have been using Cyprus as a “haven”.

Socialism and Equality

The saying goes “All men are born equal, but some are more equal than others”. The truth in that statement is not difficult to see.

The church and the state

So now Cyprus is the latest country in the EU looking for a bailout. And the money should come from all the other countries in the EU who already have received bailouts.

Who pays or wins in a War?

So the war started by Baby Bush, and supported by the then Prime Ministers of UK and Australia, is now 10 years and some days old.

How times have changed

I was born in the mid 1950”s, into the normal, mundane, day-to-day living that was THE NORM in those days.
