					<description><![CDATA[I get the feeling that the Labour Party is constantly trying to whip up the PL hysteria to help silence its critics and make them feel intimidated by the huge popularity, or perceived popularity, of the government. 

They just want to keep everyone singing their slogan and feeling like they are on the winning team the whole time, so that they never question anything.

In fact, I think Muscat will spend the next five years ignoring any objection to anything and just continue acting like it&#039;s a plan everyone likes.

That&#039;s one of the problems with the think-positive attitude. It doesn&#039;t stop you from making big mistakes or bad choices. 

Fear protects us. It may not be a nice feeling but it is necessary for our survival. If we felt no fear, we would gladly walk off a cliff.

Likewise, being able to foresee disadvantages and problems with a choice we make also protects us. It makes us rethink choices and ideas that might send us down the wrong path. 

Getting rid of either of these survival mechanisms is plain stupid.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Google ads link to the budget official website.

The home page carries comments by the PM on Facebook, with slander directed at Simon Busuttil and the opposition.

Reminds me of Mintoff&#039;s DOI and its publication full of partisan propaganda (I believe it was called Il-Gżejjer).
