					<description><![CDATA[Daphne 

Having read both Luciano&#039;s tripe and BS&#039;s vague insinuation that you might be Baxxter I feel we ought to start a lobby group promoting the introduction of LOGIC &#038; REASONING into the school curriculum - and from an early age. 

Less social studies, less of Maltese &quot;literature&quot; and the so called SOK, and a very big dose of THINKING is required - and urgently. 

We&#039;re producing graduates who are no better than a flock (is that the right word?)  of lemmings  - only the lemmings don&#039;t do as much harm on their way to the cliff-edge. 

Maybe Varist ought to take a break from sipping cappuccino&#039;s with Cyrus at his father&#039;s bar (Cyrus&#039;s) and start digging deep into this unfolding tragedy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Luciano Busuttil: &quot;if we reduce the number of local councils we will attach democracy itself&quot;! 

These people not only do not have an iota of logic and decency, but not even the slightest memory. 

Does Luciano know that at the time, the Labour Party  did not want the Local Councils and did not participate in them officially (though we knew that the &#039;independent&#039; candidates were Labour? 

Or maybe he is  admitting that the Labour Party was undemocratic when it was not in favour of the introduction of the local councils? 

On the other hand it could be that he is expressing what is really still in their hearts: they are still not in favour of the local councils. So let them rot. 

Not voting for the local councils is as bad as not having them, or even worse, because you&#039;re stuck with the under performers. 

Not holding elections is more undemocratic than not having them in the first place. And Luciano is worried that it would be undemocratic if they were reduced.

A Maltese government, my dear DOTTOR David. Both Nationalist and Labour. Are you another of those idiots who thinks I&#039;m a propagandist for the NP? You probably got into the University of Malta during a Nationalist administration, which says it all. They have very poor standards, just like their Labour counterparts.]]></description>
