Knowing Your Place in Great Britain

“What is wrong with everyone nowadays? Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far beyond their actual capabilities? This is all to do with the learning culture in schools — the child-centred learning emphasis which admits of no failure and tells people they can all be pop stars or High Court judges, or brilliant TV personalities — heads of states! without ever putting in the necessary work or effort, or having natural abilities.




“It’s the result of ‘social utopianism’, which believes humanity can be genetically re-engineered, or socially re-engineered, to contradict the lessons of history and the realities of nature.




“What on earth am I to say to Elaine in reply?! She is so PC it frightens me rigid!”




These are the words written by Charles, Prince of Wales in Great Britain, regarding an employee's inquiry about career advancement. It has set off a firestorm of controversy and a denial by Prince Charles in response to charges of elitism.



He runs a charity to help underprivileged people in his country. So what will he do to ensure that people CAN improve their career path and rise above the economic level in which they are born in Great Britain?

Post-Bush re-election: suicides and emigration

Why am I not surprised that someone would kill themselves rather than spend four more years under the destructive reign of George W. Bush? IN talking with medical professional and healing arts professionals, they have told me they are treating a rising number of people for stress-related illnesses brought on by Bush's re-election - ranging from temporary paralysis to severe anxiety. You can read about the 25-year-old man from Georgia here.



This was not a Northerner. This was a Southerner and how symbolic that he did it at the place where Bush whipped women with children into a pro-Bush voting frenzy claiming he was making them and their children safe.



Poeple are also surfing Canada's immigration site by the millions, looking to leave the USA and because of Bush's re-election. One segment on "The Daily Show" showed a graphic of the United States of Canada above Jesusland.



Bush is now slightly backing off his arrogant post-election posture and claims he wants a bipartisan government that includes Democrats. Of course it is to pursue his personal goals that he claims are the agenda of all Americans: changes in Social Security that will only benefit some, a cap on medical malpractice damages as requested by his wealthy physician lobbyist friends so that they don't pay anything damaging for leaving a scalpel in your intestines during a surgery and disabling you for life, increasing the massive debt he has gifted to future generations so he can have more money to fight Iraqi freedom fighters in Iraq and keep the USA occupying that land, and more "tax reform" to give more to the wealthy so they can have more and the poor increase in number.



He laughed with reporters as he said the next four years will be "a lot of fun".



How many USA citizens will die laughing?



How many USA citens will become Canadian permanent residents?



Does Bush care?



I think we know the answer to that last question.

While Half the USA Mourns, Vote Fraud in Ohio?

In one voting precinct in Gahanna, Ohio, 4,258 voters supposedly cast an electronic ballot for George Bush while only 260 voted for John Kerry. While it is vaguely possible that over 94% of voters in the precinct supported George W. Bush, it is a hard number to believe considering that only 638 voters were counted at the polling center.

Bush campaign tries to have international election monitors arrested in Florida

The election is underway today in the USA and it appears the Bush-Cheney campaign feels the USA can monitor other people's elections, but cannot itself be observed. Sadly, this happened right in election hot trouble spot Florida, where Pres. Bush's brother Jeb is governor and where the 2000 Election problem occurred. They took a completely hostile approach to monitors from Denmark and a few other countries and tried to have them arrested.



From Jim Stratton of the Orlando Sentinel:



Four international election observers got less than a Chamber of Commerce welcome Monday when they visited a Bush-Cheney campaign office in Orlando.



Office personnel turned the observers away, then called police when the officials from Denmark, Finland and Belgium tried to explain why they were there, a member of the monitoring group said.



"It was like they kicked us out," said Kimmo Kiljunen, a member of the Finnish Parliament. "They said, 'We don't have anything to discuss with you.' "



Kiljunen said the encounter "was so tense, we couldn't even say what we were doing."



Kiljunen is with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, an international coalition that monitors elections, mediates conflicts and promotes the rule of law. It was invited to observe the 2004 election by the U.S. State Department. The United States has been an OSCE member since 1973.

Is there no end to the amBushing of USA elections and the USA political process?
