You certainly won't be aware of the fact, but on several occasions I've written my post for the day then deleted it in its entirety, simply because the content was too controversial. I know that it's my blog and that I should be able to say whatever I like, but that's not really the case. Since I'm going to be a teacher (hopefully), I don't think I should comment on yob culture or crime and punishment for instance. There's also the matter of the Iraq War. Well, are we still at war? Apparently not! It supposedly ended ages ago, we're only peace-keeping now! That seems to be going well! Why exactly did they (we?) invade Iraq again?
It's not that I don't think I should mention certain "taboo" topics, because believe me, I've got plenty to say about events that are happening right now and the potentially catastrophic situations that certain governments in the World are creating for the future. The reason being, I've come to realise that right is left and up is down. I used to think that we were the good guys, and we still are, only we're being completely misrepresented abroad, by our misguided leaders, and our allies are genocidal maniacs. Does that about illustrate the position I'm assuming? I think so!
Doing a volte-face again, I told you that I might be getting a digital camera. Well that's on hold, becasuse I now need to acquire myself a Laserjet Printer, simply owing to the copious amount of documentation that the University keep uploading. I have a £1 print allowance, which I haven't even bothered to touch, and more reading material than I can ever handle. I guess Manfredi's "Spartan" book will have to be put aside until I get a break, possibly until next Summer, the way things are going
