THE ABORTION ISSUE

I cannot be convinced that abortion is justifiable. I am yet to be persuaded that life does not begin at conception. I am similarly at ease with the notion that Capital Punishment is wrong. And I cannot understand how the opponents of abortion are the proponents of Capital Punishment. Are both not... Sign in to see full entry.

GOVERNOR PALIN

The press overflows with indications that Governor Palin has energized the republican ticket. I have no doubt this is true. Yet I musk ask if all it takes to motivate voter response is being of a certain gender, a certain race, or a certain appearance? For if this is so, it does not bode well for...

The Dissapointment in the Presidential Selection Process

I have been following the campaign for presidency of the United States very closely. I commented on the primaries for both the Republicans and the Democrats. At one point I allowed that Senator McCain was the best of the Republicans but, under the circumstances at that juncture, I thought he would... Sign in to see full entry.

HOW CAN ANYONE?

This morning I walked past a South American Country's Consulate here in New York and saw three children ranging in age from approximately 9 months to 3 years. They are so adorable. Here is evidence of the mystery of The Creator. It is probable they were born here in the U.S. I am wont to ask, how... Sign in to see full entry.

Ms. Clinton: Her Ego and Ambition

It is disturbing to me that Ms. Clinton is now running around asking donations to defray her campaing debt. Yet, after a certain point, she knew the probability of her getting the nomination was remote, at best. The debt was incurred long after this fact was known. Either her ego or her disdain at...

THE ARGUMENT FOR SUPER DELEGATES

At first glance, I determined that super delegates are a bad idea.That the candidates are asked to present their approaches and positions in primaries and caucuses are the only objective way to select the nominee of the party. What is the purpose of the time and money spent to traverse the country,... Sign in to see full entry.

SENATOR CLINTON: "NO QUITTER?"

I will not call Senator Clinton dishonest or hypocritical. That would be so easy to do. Yet I must ask whether she believes the small states' delegates are important, and when did she conclude that? Until now she emphasised her win in the big states. Is it only because her fortunes are not as she... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Asking.

It is inconceivable to me that a person of colour is considered a viable candidate for the Presidency of the United States, yet none of the TV networks, nor the major cable stations, has an anchor of colour. Am I to conclude that the President of the United States requires less gravitas than the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hillary and Barack

There are two articles on the Opinion page of today's Wall Street Journal in respect to Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama. I have been moved to make the following analysis. In your opinion are my conclusions objective? Although Mr. Davis tries to chastise Mr Obama for his approach and response to the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE KING EFFECT

On April 5 th 1968, I landed in the United States for the first time. I was on my way to London to attend one of the traditional English Inns of Court to become a Barrister at Law. In my country of origin this placed me in an elite class primarily because of the prestige being a Barrister accorded... Sign in to see full entry.
