Black comedy xejn. This very small, unresourceful island, needs the Government and depends on the Government&#039;s decisions.

Every step in the right direction, counts. Wrong steps, bad results.

I hope we won&#039;t go there. But hope is irrelevant when there&#039;s nothing much to hope for.]]></description>

Facebook did not help PN. 

People must get it into their heads that Facebook was created for those who live miles apart, to communicate with those who live miles apart.  

The intention, I&#039;m sure, was never meant for it to be used for people to attract attention. For the attention seekers.

PN do not need attention-seeking, therefore, they should not use Facebook at all.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Rather the contrary, I would say.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

True! Għandhom bżonn!  They don&#039;t even know what hit them.  Of course it&#039;s going to take a miracle to run the country with that bunch, you know.  This is going to be one hell of a very black comedy.  Wait and see.]]></description>
