<title>A Quare Gunk</title>
<link>http://purpleslinky.com/offbeat/a-quare-gunk/</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[
I have struggled for years to make my life and my sons life better with not even little success but no success at all. The Social services have been completely ineffectual and useless to me. I complained begged cajoled with little result. I had reached the point were I was going through the motions Then I had a quare gunk and that (along with the usual stink that is my life set off a chain of events in my life and more importantly in my mind that culminated in me making a profound decision about my life and the life of my son. (For any American readers - A quare gunk is an expression that sort of means a kick up the backside to get you going again - or a bit of a shock).]]>

<title>Freedom to Smoke</title>

<description>
<![CDATA[
The fact is that they are doing everything possible to penalize the smoker short of outlawing it altogether. it is understandable enough that it has not been outlawed after all it is still a lucrative source of income for Government and what Government wants to be responsible for criminalizing a sizable proportion of its citizens.]]>

<![CDATA[
I believe Machiavelli would view the British politicians as disastrous rulers with no statecraft and wouldn't want to have his name associated with them.]]>

<title>Machiavelli: The Prince</title>
<link>http://www.quazen.com/Reference/Biography/Machiavelli-The-Prince.808551</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[
“The Fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous. Therefore if a prince wants to maintain his rule he must learn how not to be virtuous, and to make use of this or not according to need.”
Should Machiavelli be worried by the possibility that similar reasoning applies even to a man who is not a prince?]]>
