I'm a Londoner and I agree with Cardiff - well, I am half Welsh...

God has nothing to do with your inalienable rights - as archer said, it is us who effects our rights and to do so we must be awake! Archer, you may well be responsible, but there are many who are not, they too are our responsibility. My friends know, I am the last person not to be awake! I have always commented on this subject to the point of tedium, but I press on hoping to make a difference. Most are slaves to the system (the Matrix) and will remain there unless they become conscious of the moment, for in the moment all becomes apparent. Bruce Lee understood the power of the moment!

We so easily give up these rights fore which our forefathers gave up their lives. Our heads now are deeply implanted in the sand.. We await the awakening! hopefully it will come before our demise.

"For as long as one hundred of us shall remain alive, we shall never in any wise consent submit to the rule of the American oligarchy, for it is not for glory we fight, nor riches, or for honour, but for freedom alone, which no good man loses but with his life."
I think Robby won't mind me changing it a little..

I wish I said that! though his insight has come true, we still have our heads in the sand... Apathy reins supreme in America...

Sounds familiar...

The primary reason Americans carry guns is because criminals do - it has nothing to do with liberty or the right to carry a gun. It's a carry-over from the wild west days. Most home shootings are carried out by guns in the home. If the burglar has a gun and he/she sees you with a gun then you will get shot. The reason gun crime is very low in the UK is because burglars and criminals, and law enforcement, know they are not going to come across a gun-wielding individuals. Gun ownership in the UK is mostly in gun clubs where the gun is not allowed to leave the premises and lock in a volt. The ease in which guns are available in the US makes it possible for anyone with a grudge or mental condition to carry out ghastly deeds. I'm afraid America has a long way to go before we can make it illegal to own a gun.

Nothing is more despicable than those who create fear...

Beautifully said! Unfortunately, there seems to be a self made movement towards the abyss. Fire and water will always exist, the question is, will we???

The people in the end are the final arbiters and that's how it will always be, regardless of artificial intelligence and the oligarchy.

It's a parasite... perhaps some psyllium would help...

Yes, it's an anomaly which defines our intellectual ignorance.
As for the deep state, well, that's another matter... We no longer have a stable society - Society has been flayed to the point of non-existence. There is a very small percentage that still has a grasp of reality but it is on the decline daily. When you centralized everything, then everything becomes meaningless....

It's those at the steering wheel we are talking about....

What a great film - and if it's not going their way they cause a false flag - like yesterdays bombing in Manchester just when the young were about to vote in the UK general election. I'm not saying it's a false flag but it seems these horrific events unfold just before important decision take place. We are told ISIS is responsible but isn't ISIS funded by Americas proxy Saudi Arabia. The whole think stinks... When will we get these pathological killers out of government?

How did this man know so much about MSM and it's propaganda machine for the deep state?

Let's get it straight: All this talk about what is the best educational system for your child is second to how you are brought up. There are children with very little education that have more integrity in their little finger than many who have attended private or public schools. My experience has been those who are from the country and from the fields of life have honor and integrity more so than my friends from Universities - you are remembered by your deeds and not your words.....

Remember, it's the Wolf you feed that wins - an old Indian proverb. I think also your soul should be free from fascism and corporatism.

Ignorance is bliss!

And because so, they think before they act - just don't let them drink to much wine. In France we lived just a short distance from his house.

Yes, early education has a habit of making tyrants, money grabbing bankers, and psychopaths.

Read Leo Tolstoy on Patriotism...

Archer, again, as always your retort is excellent, even though I disagree. I went to a religious public boarding school and in the UK that means private, and went to chapel every morning. I loved my days as a child in the west country (UK); I did most of my education in the library. My friends from the public school system were my best friends, they had guts, and were honest to the tee. I played football with them and had a few pints - it's a time I reflected on with great memories. When children learn in a vacuum they usually remain in a vacuum without the skill of thinking out of the box. I very much appreciate your commentary and understand where you are coming from, but my experience tells me otherwise. Lastly, try being a gay kid in private schools - there is a heart in the children of public schools that you are obviously unaware of.
The underdog is usually protected from the bullies - I know this from the stories I am told by those who were brought up in the public system. I have never been concerned about being judged; I have never been concerned what others think of me - perhaps it was my upbringing and the fact my parents NEVER abused or shouted at me! Anyway, keep the good thoughts, going as their ripples create waves - iechyd da....

Archer and Mike, even though I'm an atheist, I always respect your comments, as they are heartfelt and honest. Take care and keep up the good work you do..., Robert

Living in isolation of each other, especially children who are highly receptive to parental behavior, can be dangerous. It's like not getting muddy so you remain clean and in the process being highly receptive to germs - it applies to the mind also. What makes this nonsense is the effrontery of those who have the knowledge to teach their children, to foster this on all children. The vast majority of parents have not a clue how to educate their children, that alone the moral, ethical, and reasoning elements of education. If you have Plato or Aristotle as your parents then it's a different matter.

You don't need government for self-discipline - you need love and peace!
