					<description><![CDATA[In this specific case, Cutajar is not a victim.


The mayor enjoys the limelight and does whatever she can to get it.

Her weaknesses (inability to think critically, vanity) make her a great target for exploitation by Muscat and friends. 


&quot;Ah look at me I am beautiful and intelligent. I am successful.&quot; (I cannot think of any truly successful woman who would stoop to such idiocy and allow herself to be exploited).


It is the interaction of weaknesses within an environment that is prone to exploitation that is the major problem.


In this specific case, I do not feel sorry for Cutajar who is being exploited. Rather I feel sorry for the people who elected her because she is also exploiting and disrespecting them.


As a public figure she needs to lead by example. While she has every right to be lesbian, she shouldn&#039;t disrespect the real homosexuals by pretending to be like them simply to gain political mileage.  Muscat does the same thing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The point, dear Sandra, is that you don&#039;t have children for yourself because they are not something you acquire, in the category of your kitchen units and your designer sofa.

Children need young parents and they also need siblings, preferably more than one because two always creates a duality, and it also helps if they have young grandparents who they can get to know before they are old.

In other words, Sandra, you don&#039;t have children when the time is right for you. You have children when the time is right for them.

Children who are projects for their parents generally turn out badly - the strain of being hot-housed is too much for them.

I cannot say it enough: what children need most of all is for their parents to stay out of their hair. But when parents have just the one or at most two children as planned projects fairly late in life, this is not going to happen. The parents, especially the mother, will get into their hair and stay there.]]></description>

Are you sure the boyfriend is the only one doing coke? 

What&#039;s that little box the dear mayor is holding in the second picture? 

On closer inspection, it might be a phone, but that&#039;s not my problem. 

If she wants to hang out with the dregs of society, then it should come as no surprise that she gets tarred with the same brush.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The problem is that she is an elected politician, a public official and mayor of a large town.

What she wears and does would otherwise be completely irrelevant and of no interest, because she would be yet another tacky woman out for the night.

And just as a side-note: she is not 18. Her biological clock is already ticking hard. Another five years and she&#039;ll be in the IVF zone.

If she plans on having children without artificial assistance, she had better set about finding a decent man to do it with, fast, and stop dating cocaine-addicts/dealers - unless, of course, she plans to follow the pattern of her kind and become yet another single mother of a child with an &#039;unknown&#039; father.
