					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2010/07/a-hi5-comment-from-a-doctor-joseph-fan/#comment-58011&quot;&gt;Pietru Pawl&lt;/a&gt;.

What does someone&#039;s grasp of the English language have to do with his political leanings?

Why should any intelligent person be excused from learning the basics of a language he is exposed to on a daily basis?

Why would any intelligent person write in a language he is not familiar with?

Yes, a lot of the great thinkers in history were &quot;leftists&quot;, and a bunch of them were Nazis, Communists, and Jingoists as well. The grand majority were outside their subject matter when it came to economics, which is why the most widely hailed economists in history were invariably Liberterians!

Historically, some great thinkers believed that the World was flat, and that angels were speaking to them, should we adopt their wisdom in those areas as well?

Donkeys and mules indeed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Without wanting to sound overly leftist, I must comment on this thread.

@Benny...please do not comment before you are sure of what you are referring to. The man in the picture is not the man who wrote the post.

@ everyone else. Had we to judge a man&#039;s intellect, by his grasp of the English language, we would probably place many of the world&#039;s greatest minds on the &quot;Most Ignorant Persons on Earth&quot; list. The fact is that Malta has become known for inherited socialists, rather than being true left wing, a class historically reserved to some of the greatest of writers, movers and thinkers.

Are we being true in labelling Labourites as ignorant peasants, or would we be more accurate in saying that it is most of the Maltese nation which lacks the thinking power that has become the norm in most of Europe.

I find myself wondering if I am living in a country made up of competing donkeys and mules... yes, the difference if any, is very little.]]></description>

Yeah, his homilies are aired every Sunday - on One.  And occasionally, he does some fund-raising for his church, also known as il-Partit Laburista.]]></description>
