Reflections on Narcissism…
My apologies to all my Blogit friends – I haven’t been around much, have written little, and read probably less, though more than might seem. After getting back from my vacation, my time has been extremely limited… But I do drop in occasionally to look at what you have written, and more often than... Sign in to see full entry.

Britain's Surrender
Outside of doing ‘doggie research’ (for which I must make time daily, since Jag insists on taking me for his morning walk) I’ve been too busy to spend much time on the various other issues that concern me, particularly the situation in the Middle East. But since these issues persist, I shall... Sign in to see full entry.

The Nannifying of Society…
...appears to be progressing at an ever increasing rate, in large ways and in small. Hovering, tsk-tsking, always ready with a band-aid, attempting to prevent us from repeating explorations of wall-sockets with pointed scissors or the investigation of the cat’s ability to swim by throwing her into...

Freedom as a Dirty Word?
Circumstances beyond my control are keeping me from spending much time on Blogit - I am reading little (sorry, folks) and writing even less. I certainly have no time for writing anything of substance, but that’s okay - the last thing I need is get involved in something that threatens to turn into... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mumbai Attacks XXI (The Nurturing Community)
It is somehow fitting that, as this series is nearing its end, the same Blogger who asked for the ‘what’ of the solution also asked about the ‘how’. Ciel writes: "What?" is an easier question to answer than "How?" It isn't as if Western cultures have no experience altering or attempting to alter the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mumbai Attacks XX (The Nurturing Community)
Finally we’re arriving at the most important and also most difficult part of Ciel’s comment, namely at her questions. Here they are again: “It comes down to this: What do you suggest be done about it? What do you think Western governments can do about it? To begin with, and to be absolutely clear on...

The Mumbai Attacks XIX (The Nurturing Community)
For the last couple of weeks I have had intermittent computer problems, which is why I wasn’t around much. An hour here, a couple of hours there, to deal with matters I simply have to attend to, including brief visits to Blogit, before taking the box back to my guru for further treatment. He had...
