There are some people that really want Europe to fail and hope for Greece's downfall.
What do they all have in common?
A bankcrupt Greece will potentially disentigrate the already damaged euro and subsequently destroy the big idea of a European United States. Right wing wishfull thinking?
- Our PM
- Our 'Osborne'
- Our 'proud' mayor Boris Johnson
- Der Spiegel and even some
- IMF personalities.

Disagreeing with a person of a different faith

Some people of a number of faiths get upset when we disagree or talk about issues that may have a religious root. I may see things from my beliefs and I want to express my opinion and question things in order to track down the true faith if there is such thing.
Who are you to try to stop me? I will never be able to discover it if I am not allowed to query/question things and the way things are! I can not guarantee that my views are the correct ones but I don’t think ‘god’ is so vindictive because I may have disagreed or may have broken a faith rule. If you are dedicated to your faith surely your 'holy task' is to persuade me to come closer to 'your way' and closer to 'your faith'. You will never achieve your task if my introduction to 'your faith' is DO NOT MENTION THIS or DO NOT SAY THAT!
Theresa May has accused Universities of not doing enough to silence religious extreme views that may incite violence. This is exactly what we shouldn't do. We should incite discussion so we can openly educate people about these extreme views so people can make their minds up and can decide objectively where they stand on the matter. This is not a responsibility of one person or one institution. We are all responsible and let's not shy away by passing this heavy weight to someone else. We all need to: Be involved - approach and question it - add your opinion freely and without fear!

A growing anger?

Anger is growing in UK. A massive and irrational financial squeeze is hitting a wide area of society very hard. A few areas up to know have escaped the cuts. Mr Osborne and his gang, including our expert Mr Cable have decided that the banks and their 'fat cats' have had enough blood sucked out of them. 'We need to stop being vindictive and its better if we look to the future'. A growing anger? I would say it is more like a brewing hurricane Mr Osborne. I still hear your famous pre-election slogan 'we are all in this together' still ringing in my ears. It is not different to 'water torture'.
We have reached a dead end, the government refuses to listen. What a difference a few months in power make! It was not long ago when they were critising Labour for failing to listen.
I know they can not hear our anger but it looks that they can not see it either.

The chancellor today "has pledged a "fundamental reassessment" of the way government works. He has outlined plans to involve the public in making cuts". He is looking to find "the best people in their fields from inside and outside government involvement and a wider public engagement exercise over the summer ".
"Oh I hope he doesn't pick me I was really looking forward to my summer holidays!".
Are we experiencing the beginning of new era in politics? It is all about the importance of self government. A real revolution in its internal structures! Power to the people! The last time I heard that it was during an episode of the classic "Yes Prime Minister" series. Typical! I think it was my dad once who told me that "all the things you are watching on TV are not real and they are not going to happen in real life". How wrong can you be with a statement like this.
The coalition government (Con-Lib Pact) have recently spent many hours trying to persuade "us" how things are really changing and we are going through an amazing transformation, we are going to see something that we have never experienced before! Power to the people! The chancellor is seeking public advice about the future of public spending and cuts. Would you believe it? Now it is coming down to "us" to decide which sector we need to "hit" first! Oh what a wonderful life! Power to the people!
Why are they willing to give it up?
Is it because "they" as a government are not experienced enough and don't know what's going on around them? Is it because "they" can not make "their" mind up which decision will benefit which section of our society? Or even which decision is going to be the most harmful? Oh I know, I know what we need to do. Why don't we ask the people? They can decide and if they really got it wrong we can then blame them!
Some of you may even have attempted a guess that the above script could have been easily extracted from an old classic series episode of "Yes Prime Minister".
The saddest thing though in the whole scenario is that we, "The people" have given them this power! Now they are giving it back to us!

CSI, TSI or MSI?

Who is going to succeed? That will be an interesting story plot to investigate.
Google with its Android Operating System was the only company certainly to put up some serious fight against the Apple dominance. Apple sales have grown faster during the last few months due to their recent claimed iPad 'victory' but Google with their operating system, the Android, has increased its sales at least in USA twice as fast as the iPhone equivalent.
The TSI has now moved in another area, the MSI! The new competitor to iPad it looks that will not come from Google but from a 'surprise' company the ASUS. ASUS has made its appearance for some time with the introduction of the EeePC but it looks that they want a bigger share of the market. This time they are going for the big money.
They are ready to hit the market with two promising tablets. The MSI WindPad 100, a stylish 10-inch and the Asus Eee Pad EP121 that features a 12-inch screen. Both devices are, very impressive and designed to take on board client needs/demand. Just the right time for some developments in the tablet area. A healthy competition that pushes more developments, brings cheaper devices and brings the usage cost down is really whats is needed.
By the way what part is Microsoft playing in all of this?
