Pope Condemns Equality
Isn’t he out of step with Jesus on this one? But what would I know as I’m an atheist.
But then what do I care about the Pope. Not a lot. I wish him no harm, but he heads a church that is very much against progress and is all for creating more people in this world. Remember that increasing the population of the world is one of the biggest causes of global warming.
Hawke, Nelson and Terry
It is fascinating to compare two of the naval heroes of the past, Admirals Edward Hawke and Horatio Nelson with John Terry. Both Hawke and Nelson were strong leaders, who won battles by leading from the front. It could be argued that John Terry has won matches by using exactly the same tactics, although his were undoubtedly lesser actions.
To compare Hawke with Nelson is interesting. Both were professional and their courage could not be doubted. But whereas Nelson died in battle and was famous for his mistress, Hawke lived a more sober life and died in his own bed. Hawke also refused a burial in St. Paul’s Cathedral, preferring to be buried alongside his late wife in the parish church at Swaythling near Southampton.
So what of John Terry. He has committed an indiscretion and various parts of the press are having a right go at him.
He has been stupid, but it could be argued that he has done nothing more than Nelson did. On the other hand, those that live and benefit from their status, should perhaps behave with a bit more dignity. But we can all name, others in the past who have been less than faithful and have not suffered at all in popularity.
So perhaps the public actually condone scandal. After all, history says that the British have enjoyed various indescretions through the ages.
