No God?? Oh yes there is.

In fact the World's awash with them.

I’ll bet you know at least one of them.  They’re not hidden in mystery, they are hidden in plain sight, walking amongst us mere mortals. In fact you probably already know how to spot them.

They have the ability to re-write history. They simply reconstruct events and relate their version of what happened many times, ad nauseum in fact, until even they believe their stories.

They have such pure and blameless lives that they feel quite entitled to judge others by their own unattainable standards. They dispense their wisdom about other’s lives through whatever medium is available to them – they are well up on technology.  Gossip, mail, email, social networking, media upload sites –  they have it all covered.

And they usually have a coterie with them of mealy-mouthed “yes” people, fawning over their every word like a host of angels lauding their Saviour.

Oh, and they absolutely love memes. Especially ones about being above all that shit, never judging people, and ones that tell folk how strong they are despite all the vicissitudes  of their lives.

Quite a lot of them even rejoice in the sufferings of their victims…errr flock.

Recognise anyone?

Independence Referendum–my perspective from Facebook

I agree with Alex Salmond and the Yes campaign. I don't like the Tories and the ConDem alliance and the sight of the Saltire over Number 10 is beyond belief.
But it's an easy target and does not answer any of the real questions.
I got the government I didn't want. So did millions of people in England, Wales and Ireland.
Here's the skinny. That's Democracy.
To extrapolate that everyone who didn't want them should set up their own State that has one Ideology is, well frankly what ISIL want to do, what Mao and Pol Pot did and so many others throughout History.
And if Scotland does go Independent, it's likely half the population will still get the Government they don't want.
Whatever way the vote goes, nearly half the Population will get the Constitutional arrangements they don't want.
Isn't it time to get real. As in Real Politique?

Here's a thing. I do like a laugh in the morning!
One of my neighbours was complaining about nuclear weapons being on "Scottish" [he was a bit miffed when I reminded him it was UK] soil.
The danger of being nuked is so high. We can't justify weapons of mass destruction. You know the drill.
I offered him a simple solution.
"Get a gun. Shoot yourself. All your problems solved!"
His somewhat aggressive response indicated he thought summary action was no rational strategy for problems solving.
"Oh" say I. "Well here's an alternative. Follow the Yes campaigns advice and vote Yes to kick out the Tories"
I think the irony of this throwing the baby out with the bathwater strategy went completely over his head!
Thank the good lord the electorate are so well informed coming up to the Referendum! Err... or do I mean voting with their heads not their hearts?
Either seems to me to be a triumph of hope over experience...

Here's another thing. And I know you'll laugh at this. Really. You'll say "No, how could they be so ill-informed about such a basic thing???" You will. Honest.
There's actually people, here, now, who think that their Primary point of contact with health care, their GP Practice, is part of the NHS!!!
Really. They don't know that most GP's are self-employed and contact to the NHS!
And they believe the claptrap about the only way to save the NHS is to vote "Yes"!
Next they'll be saying they have no concept of the "real politique"...
<< Many general practitioners (GPs) are self employed and hold contracts, either on their own or as part of a Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The profit of GPs varies according to the services they provide for their patients and the way they choose to provide these services>>

Here's a thing. Did you know since the SNP came to power, spending on NHS Private Sector providers in Scotland has gone up?

Here's a thing. I'm just wondering. Will an Independent Scotland have access to British organ donors?

In case anyone actually thinks that Independence means self-control in this globalised World.
We (us human beings) should all be striving to unite against the small percentage who actually do control things. They would love to keep dividing - because that leads to conquering.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the British Journalist being held hostage by ISIL who is under threat of being barbarically murdered. Given recent events they must be apoplectic with worry.
It seems this family live in Scotland. A salutary reminder that the World doesn't stop at the proposed borders of an Independent Scotland. I am sure ISIL will have made this choice based on my previously propounded explanation "What's in it for me?" They are vicious but not stupid and I'm sure their strategists will have considered the effect of this on the current debate here.
Although I've focussed on this potentially appalling event, My thoughts and prayers equally go out to all families who have been the "collateral damage" of idealists, despots, dictators and fanatics.
I hope for a happy outcome, but I'm afraid that would be a triumph of hope over experience.

Alex Salmond’s Plan D–official!!!
