Well the noughties are over and done with and will probably be remembered for all the bad things that have happened as mankind continues its spiral into inevitable oblivion. Financial meltdown exposed all that is wrong with the system that we all depend upon, politicians, our representatives were shown to be liars and cheats, and the western interference in the Arabic world has opened a chasm between the west and the world of Islam that can only get bigger with the growth of its greatest export - terrorism.
The new year has been heralded with an attack on a Danish cartoonist by an axe wielding fanatic, and the continued decline of Yemen and Somalia, along with other failing nations. How long must it be before people realise the direct link between blind adherence to ludicrously outdated dogma and the inability of nations to govern themselves in an increasingly complex world.
Airport security has had to be ratcheted up again because someone was mentally ill enough to fill his underpants with explosives, and allegedly there are other loonies willing to shove bombs into their bottoms simply to blow up aircraft and kill innocent people - all in the name of a peaceful and tolerant religion of course.
Anyhow - the sun is shining again today and although it is very cold, bright days such as this one are a bonus in probably my second least favourite month of the year. I am determined to write more frequently this year and I will try not to rant too much about the evils of religions, but in my humble opinion the men in silly hats have gone unchallenged for far too long.
May my reader have a good new year and do keep up the feedback - I love a good argument.
