The bitter stench of BP’s oil

Aractus 09, July, 2010

You know, the oil spill is bad enough, especially its environmental implications, but then to politicise this escapade insults the intelligence of every human being on the planet. We’ve forgotten that thirteen people were killed. The news isn’t interested in that; but is more interested in the political aspects. The Poms blame Obama, and Obama […]

The End Is Nigh…

Well not for a while but within the life span of our kids (if anyone bothers to have more than one). Is this about the second coming? No, it’s about decline of the West.

The ALP broke their election promises, not Rudd, the ALP. The way in which Rudd […]

Hi, I’m an Islamophobic

To say that the universe had an origin, supposes that it was indeed created; and to say that it was created infers […]

The Web’s Dirty Little Secret: Why websites should use HTML 4.01 and not XHTML.
