When nothing changes, when the world spins round, when only clocks mark the passing of time, it feels to me like maybe I am already dead.  The world needs people who cause conflict, make peace, and galvanise option, they remind us of what we believe in, the limited time we have to achieve our dreams, and the value of our own liberty.   Today the Archbishop of Canterbry, Dr Rowan Williams got bah humbugged by every British politician from Ann Widdicombe to Nick Clegg, what was his crime?  For suggesting that the present unofficial system of sharia courts in Britain be recognised by the  British government.  You can read the Archbishop's lecture entitled 'Islam in English Law' here.    If you read Dr Rowan Williams text, I think you will find his argument well written, being both complex and compelling.  It is a shame therefore that the issue is seemingly bluntly dismissed by all and sundry.  I beg you to read what the Archbishop wrote, or skim Paul Varly's article 'Williams is snared in a trap of his own making'.   One thing is clear, the Church of England is lucky to have Dr. Williams at it helm, he obviously took the job for more than the opportunity to wear silly hats.  And for that I deeply respect him.   PS If i had to sit though the upcoming Anglican General Synod later this month, I too might start to think of ways to pass the responsibility of religious legislating off to other faith groups.

Fourth Generation War may well be upon us. Frustrated by an lack of actual fighting the US Navy and The fine gents of the Gray Funnel line, seemingly inspired by recent reality TV shows, have taken fooling around with YouTube. Fourth generation warfare's battle are fought over YouTube and the medium is music. The RN kicked off; the US responded. Who will be the ultimate winner, who cares, who worries that our tax dollar/pounds maybe slightly better spent? Interestingly the choice and style of each of these videos show the different characters of the Navy's involved. As a patriot I'm just going to leave it there. Come on RN... lets shake of the stereotypes.. Your the judge.. you decide... Her Majesty's Britannic Royal Navy Uncle Sam's Finest Marines are Just weird - singing into an SA80? The Russian's Didn't get it at all. Nothing from the Germans as of yet.. Probably for the best.

Making History REAL to Youth of Today

GodTube has arrived, www.godtube.com I love a good christian, but sometimes i think the lions had it just about right... What sort of a bonker could extrapolate the existence of an omnipotent lord creator of the universe from a banana? This man does. I'm not against the idea of a god, i am against smug bastards, he is so secure in the knowledge that god exists that he has forgotten the importance when prophesying of not sounding like the type of smug git that would actively deter you from the whole idea of Christianity. Yes have god, yes have the Internet, but no, don't do the two together. The Internet is for enlightenment thinkers, people who see the answers in science and further expanding human knowledge (and porn). Not god. Don't force him upon me, especially by some gimp smugmyster jim on my Internet.
