					<description><![CDATA[Some days ago the electoral campaign started and everyone began giving his opinion. But do remember that who-so-ever is successful may they keep in mind that we just want to get on with our lives, in a truly democratic society which offers stability, peace, and a fair chance to make a decent living with no preferences.

It has been said that people might try to go for a change in the government that we deserve. But for God&#039;s sake let&#039;s make first sure that we choose well. We do have enough time to make the correct assessment of what is on offer.

We must all remember that a bad choice in the polling booth will affect our lives for five years afterwards and even beyond.

					<description><![CDATA[But seriously do you consider that quote as an offence to Christians? What if it&#039;s true that Tonio Fenech had a vision from the Madonna? Would that quote still be an offence?]]></description>

Always happy to oblige.

Meet you at the next apparition, hoping it won&#039;t be on some private plane on its way to watch a football match.
