It was not my bed ridden father, and I need not go into the details.  You san safely assume it was someone we cared for and a father nonetheless (though not mine).  Helplessly watching anyone in pain is sickening I agree, but it does not feel wrong.  There is no fine line between the two, it is a deep chasm that rocks you and your basic human values to the core.]]></description>

Page 81 Joseph Muscat refers to the macho Dockyard shipwrights whose wages together with the Dockyard’s losses were financed by the female machine operators’s wages and social contributions.

Interestingly Muscat refers to the Dockyard militants “whose manhood had already been challenged by Mintoff (ref3 on xx/xx/xx in a rally for Dockyard workers, Mintoff literally asked them to prove they had &quot;meat balls”.

					<description><![CDATA[‘Q. Was closing down the drydocks a good move?

JM: No.

LG: Tajba, tajba hafna. Hafna, hafna.

What is Muscat saying here – that we should still have the drydocks open and bleeding us dry to the tune of hundreds of millions of euros?’

Worse still, Joseph was so adamant in his answer that he may actually be contemplating the re-Nationalization of the drydocks.

Many socialists believe that public ownership enables people to exercise full democratic control over the means whereby they earn their living and provides an effective means of redistributing wealth and income more equitably.

This is a fallacy. The true motives for Nationalization are purely Socialist Policy and the economic improvement is merely the excuse.]]></description>
