On a side note I am away to York on a long week-end. I may not be posting till Tuesday so feel free to continue these thoughts. -
A Deep Thought?
A deep thought I leave you with. This is my wish.
Creed of Freedom.
INTRINSIC NATURE OF RIGHTS
I believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; that these rights are intrinsic to each individual, not granted by the state; for if the state has the power to grant them, it also has the power to deny them, and that is incompatible with personal liberty.
I believe that a just government derives its power solely from the governed. Therefore, the state must never presume to do anything beyond what individual citizens also have the right to do. Otherwise, the state is a power unto itself and becomes the master instead of the servant of society.
SUPREMACY OF THE INDIVIDUAL
I believe that one of the greatest threats to freedom is to allow any group, no matter its numeric superiority, to deny the rights of the minority; and that one of the primary functions of just government is to protect each individual from the greed and passion of the majority.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
I believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law. I believe that social tranquility and brotherhood are better achieved by tolerance, persuasion, and the power of good example than by coercion of law. I believe that those in need are better served by charity, which is the giving of one's own money, than by welfare, which is the giving of other people's money through coercion of law.
EQUALITY UNDER LAW
I believe that all citizens should be equal under law, regardless of their national origin, race, religion, gender, education, economic status, life style, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment, regardless of the merit or popularity of its cause. To favor one class over another is not equality under law.
PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
I believe that the proper role of government is negative, not positive; defensive, not aggressive. It is to protect, not to provide; for if the state is granted the power to provide for some, it must also be able to take from others, and once that power is granted, there are those who will seek it for their advantage. It always leads to legalized plunder and loss of freedom. If government is powerful enough to give us everything we want, it is also powerful enough to take from us everything we have. Therefore, the proper function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens; nothing more. That government is best which governs least. -

I reached the young age of 50 last month and feel dis-appointed I never got to add my say in this thread.
As an after-thought I guess its just as well I missed it because I probably would have been banned again
I am not trying to re-open this debate either and I am not trying to dis anyones point of view on it. I just wanted to keep it here in my diary/page of daily thoughts. Anyone who knows me in game will attest to the fact that 90% of the time I am a NOOB. But those 10% when I am in the "Zone" I am Fkin Awesome! I played FPS on-line when most of you where either in nappies or at first school. Kingpin on a lame phone-line with 500 ping I loved having a Homer Simpson skin and when Quake3 and Unreal Tournement came I was in my element:) Broadband was a rich mans dream back then. Anyway, enough rambling. Ill finish on a thought...

A coming together of minds?
On the 9th day of the 9th month in the 9th year of the 21st Century an idea was made reality. Amidst the implosion of the clan "Colts" there arose, like a Pheonix from the ashes, a new legend. With the integrity brought from the upright souls of Colts, and a code of conduct forged in the furnace of despair, "Charon" was born. With the passing of time this clan became the essence of fun and a shining example to the rest of the world by showing just what a like-minded group can achieve. I am proud to have been here from the early days and to have become part of our history. I raise a glass to "Charon" may we reign for a hundred years!
CHARON shine on!

Song for Today.
This is one of the most relevant musical thoughts, IMO, that still portrays the majority of polititians worldwide.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T30cQgHoRE
And the media are worse!
And I read this amongst the thoughts on U.K. trust in our media...
"Everybody here I would hope is in favour of a free press: it’s the life blood of democracy,” Mark Lewis, lawyer for the family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, told the conference. Dowler’s voice mail had been hacked by the News of the World staff, who deleted her phone messages, giving false hope to the Dowler family that Milly was alive.
When the media has this kind of agenda, to the point it has interupted a families grief and given them false hope, I feel nothing but shame at our thirst for journalistic knowledge. I feel fear at the power available to media throughout the world and helpless as to what can be done. It shows that its more important to have the "Scoop of the Day" at any cost, to the extent of then hiding the source (be it illegally taken) from other competitors and dam anyone who gets in the way. -

The Doors of perception.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru' narrow ch.inks of his cavern."
-- William Blake --
A truth from George Orwell.
"The primary aim of modern warfare ... is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living. [The "machine" is society's technical and industrial capacity to produce goods.] ... From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery, and therefore to a great extent for human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations...
But it was also clear that an all-around increase in wealth threatened the destruction--indeed in some cases was the destruction--of a hierarchical society. In a world in which everyone worked short hours, had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motorcar or even an airplane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. If it once became general, wealth would confer no distinction... Such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance...
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. war is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in to the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent...
In practice the needs for the population are always underestimated, with the result that there is a chronic shortage of half the necessities of life; but this is looked on as an advantage. It is deliberate policy to keep even the favored groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another... The social atmosphere is that of a besieged city, where the possession of a lump of horseflesh makes the difference between wealth and poverty. And at the same time the consequences of being at war, and therefore in danger, makes the handing over of all power to a small caste seem the natural , unavoidable condition of survival...
War, it will be seen, not only accomplishes the necessary destruction, but accomplishes it in a psychologically acceptable way. In principle it would be quite simple to waste the surplus labor of the world by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even by producing vast quantities of goods and then setting fire to them. but this would provide only the economic and not the emotional basis for ta hierarchical society...
War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair... waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquest of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact."
I applaud this and find a "Truth" here put forward in a very readable and concise way by George Orwell. It is everything that is wrong shown to us in a nut-shell. Knowing this is never going to be enough. I watched a documentary talking of the "Noble Lie" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_lie) and showing how Plato's cave (http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/platoscave.html) has been used for centuries to maintain exactly this which Orwell has shown us. I pray more of us begin to understand these fundamentals and ask everyone to share this knowledge as far and wide as you possibly can. -
