Food For Thought

Facing reality.......

A coup d’état is usually brought about by people who are convinced that they cannot acquire power through democratic means and / or those whose vital interests are mightily threatened without power .

Fundamental Rights and Liberties

That those who constantly talk about the rights of the people could just as easily vote in legislation that seeks to curtail the right to remain silent;

That those who fought valiantly for the right for association through political affinities could calmly bring in a law which would make the formation and maintenance of political parties a near impossibility;

That one who sacrificed much for the freedom of assembly and expression could now openly advocate for the curtailing of the same,

will forever remain paradoxes that could only be explained through the eyes of Lady Power, so seductive, inviting, fascinating, head-reeling, and so....destructive.
