    Schumacher's Helmet

    Indeed, and there are plenty of brain-injured and dead people who were wearing motorcycle helmets as they should have. Unluckily for them, the brain got a bit squished or sqirrelled around inside their skull, and in many cases of brain-spin, the helmet wasn't damaged much, if at all. A lot of...

    How to run a country - The Political Trick

    Nobody has to engineer much, just nudge along the natural greed that's part of the psyche of a significant part of the population. Once again, the mantra is proved correct... "It's the greedy bastads who fekc it up for everybody else."

    Bulgarian and Romanian Immigrants

    Natural causes. I don't see anything wrong with that. If we don't grasp this nettle at some point the natural causes will be bloody, brutal and violent. Much better to have some sort of gradual decline, managed properly.

    That's a really crappy thing to happen, but yes, some people just can't be trusted. I'd not be surprised if he cultivated the friendship until he saw something worth taking, then acted. Fortunately, most people aren't like that.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    A moment of political awakening came to me as a lad, when I was watching Harold Wilson on a TV interview about some matter of the day. The man droned on and on and on about this, that, the other without ever, once, addressing the point of the question. Yet, he seemed to - that was his trick. The...

    It'd be nice if you could reduce your picture file sizes, as even on BB they take an annoyingly long time to download. Neither of those need be any larger than 250KB, not 8MB.
