Well - it's been a long long time since I last posted. Nothing special to say though, blog wise - except I am even more convinced we should become the 51st State!
But thaty idea went down like a lead balloon on this blog at least! So I'll try to think of something of more interest to passers by.
That's not to say I have not enjoyed life and its experiences in the meantime - life is still good. Hope the same goes for anyone who has passed by in the past and may do so in the future!

At least this ties in with my own 51st state ambitions (see my item below! However I am not sure the intention is at all complimentary here - judged by the other world location tags. My argument for us Brits is a lot more serious in intention. Present BBC Action network for/against score is 20 for and 19 opposed - could have been expected to be a whole lot worse, so i am quite encouraged.

My first on-line video and it was a painful experience. But enjoy - at my expense - you're welcome!

Please take the time to check out the BBC Action Network and my case for Britain to become the 51st State! No it's not intended to be a joke however far-fetched! Please press the support button if you can - though I will fully respect reasoned opposition!

I was amazed today when I did a Google search on '51st State' and in the top 3 results I found a Wikipedia link which discussed the 51st state concept including which countries could be candidates and also the film of the name. Lo and behold I found someone had included a link to my own campaign article on the BBC's Action Network! Isn't this internet thing powerful and good at networking information through its own dynamic? here's the link I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/51st_state#United_Kingdom (See the 'example' link in the 3rd line. My son Luke (SUer lukenmich) was here and was greatly impressed too! (Well he should be, I am his ole man after all!)

World Peace Campaign

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 09:18:53 -0800

Nothing is more important today than Peace - but how can individuals do their bit? Maybe this site opens up some realistic possibilities. I'm not saying this outfit has all the answers or has enough influence but we have to start somewhere. One thing I notice is that they base their argument on what level of defence does the UK need to defend itself. I feel we have a responsibility for the people outside our own Nation who need the support and defence capability of stronger Nations. After all that is what saved us and many other people from Nazi tyranny in the second world war. But they do argue that we need a stronger UN - and that I agree with. But that in itself poses the problem of the major powers finally learning to trust one another and let their national interests become subservient to the greater good of international peace. Now who said anything was ever easy!
But I'm not all starry eyed - there are bad people everywhere in every community and we see them killing their own for apparent sectarian reasons in Iraq and Palestine - and Africa, just like in the Balkans and even our own close-to-home Ireland, and many other places. It's these extremists we have to somehow overcome and control. I'm not sure you can make a good person out of a bad one, when they are as bad and evil as some of these people. But maybe. Whose to say? We can't give up. What we need, at least, is a strong organisation to really enforce peace where necessary. Up to now the UN and other peace-keeping forces have failed because they have not had the mandate or resources to defend the ordinary civilians when threatened by war lords and genocide. There are good people even in politics who are trying to make peace - but international politics and conflicting interests somehow always seem to get in the way.

Well, Tadpole since your Dad was kind enough to 'friend' me in my early foray into SU, I too wish you well. However, I am sure you will be getting a lot of the 'younger set' befriending you rather than another old guy - especially as I suspect your SU pages will match your dad's standard.
All the best!
