I hear that television companies are gearing up to produce more programmes
specifically designed for very young children.
Why?
Because the youngest children are spending more and more time in front of the
television.

This was originally written 18 months ago (Autumn 2000) while at a Southern
English university as a mature student, in response to hearing some serious and
nauseating whingeing about how the poor unfortunate 'normal age' students had
(gasp!) "morning" lectures all week, the beer wasn't subsidised enough, they
thought the new Radiohead CD was crap, there were too many XXXX (the abusive
racial term used is deleted here) on campus and life was just hell.

This item has been dusted down from a previous version written in the 90s, and
which never saw daylight. It still seems to still hold water, and a few
relevancies have been added or updated.

"…..While looking skywards; I should deal briefly with astrology. Do you believe
in it? It is quite likely that you have only encountered astrology in the brief
horoscopes published in newspapers and magazines. By definition, these daily
articles are extremely general; maybe fifty words for each of the twelve signs.
This is therefore about 600 words to give total daily life-guidance to the
approximately 5 billion (and still rising) people on the planet!

This piece is written in response to an escalating war against perceived spooks;
Bush's "axis of evil" and that being used as an excuse for massive human rights
abuses after what happened on September 11th 2001. Like it or not, the fallout
from this is going to be with us for decades.

In this article I will briefly outline the different strands in the development
of Liberalism (it would be fairer to say Liberalisms), and highlight some of the
apparent contradictions that Keynes objected to, and finally give my conclusion
as to whether Keynes' comments are fair.

This is written, and in brief, just after news of Spike's death at 83, but may be a while before it appears online. No matter.

Limited space dictates that this is a very brief overview of some of the work of Carl Jung in psychology, with some contrasting references to Sigmund Freud; one of his mentors. It is not intended to be anything more than a basic intro for people who have little or no knowledge of the man, and to stimulate some discussion on the forums.

"I've got a pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming"
This piece contains strong language in places, and strong concepts; both of
which, especially the latter, may be disturbing to some readers. It is also very
long by comparison to other free things on this site- getting on for 6000 words.
