And why exactly is this, another **shole, underlining the fact that s/he is in the Netherlands – incidentally, one of the most truly liberal and progressive nation in the world?

Don’t think so. Lowell believes they were elite and the most intelligent lot, poor asshole.

If this is really true, it’s GREAT news.

“Demagogues” is the apt label for such people. Mintoff was a prime example and look what he did to democracy in Malta. Muscat is evidently trying to follow haltingly in his footsteps.

If Joseph Muscat continues to try to “step over” international law (as well as over the Maltese) he is apt to cause himself a serious injury. Apparently he realized this, rather late in the day but his mesmerized followers lag far behind still clapping and shouting “well done” when his real accomplishment was in leaping back from the edge of the precipice.

Thanks Carmel. You made my day. At lease they realise they are inarticulate.

Many of them will even go to church and hear it for the umpteenth time – but they are “religious” only in church.

Perhaps after mass they will go directly to the demo.

This is the sorry state of ‘Maltese’ Catholicism. In the matter of doctrine many are not conscious of the rules of the church. So much so that during the divorce discussions some were under the impression that they would be able to have a church wedding after getting divorced.

Mind you, in the present situation what really counts is the love that you show to your neighbour – ( not only the one next door)- in all circumstances.
