When somebody takes action  against someone for  robbing  him, most of the time he knows perfectly well that he won&#039;t be getting back what was stolen.

He doesn&#039;t do it to reform the thief and make him change his ways, unless, of course if one is not some kind of Dun Gorg. 

So tell me, what does he do it for?

It probably is one of the compromises that will have to be done by environmentalists in Malta in order to achieve a socialist economic growth and provide a work guarantee to the young generation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A lot has been said about the PN&#039;s failure to weed out people like JPO, Jesmond Mugliett and Franco Debono from its candidate list.  

I suppose one claim that this is said with  the wisdom of hindsight.   

What we forget is that our political system, particularly the fact that we vote for individual candidates rather than for a party list, attracts these kind of people like moths to a bright light.  

Many of them choose the party they contest for rarely on principle but rather on convenience or because of personal connections or family political affiliation.  This is the sad truth and our political parties have no desire in changing the system.  

We will therefore have to accept that we will always be saddled with inept and self-centered MPs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I may be wrong but the time has come for us to stop talking about Franco Debono, JPO and the rest of the back-stabbers.

They are only being given the publicity that they crave and which cannot live without.   

Once we have had our say about them what we think of them and seeing through them,  we should now stop mentioning them.    We could  do so again once the date of the elections is announced, otherwise, just ignore the twerps   Just my opinion.]]></description>
