The Reds returned to the victory trail with a deserved 23-18 triumph over the Bulls in their Super Rugby clash in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Reds returned to the victory trail with a deserved 23-18 triumph over the Bulls in their Super Rugby clash in Brisbane on Saturday.
Quade Cooper was the hosts' hero, notching 18 points via a try, two conversion and three penalties.
The Bulls thought they had clinched a draw when JJ Englebrecht went over the Reds' try-line in the dying seconds of the match but the Springbok centre had put a foot in touch in the process.
The opening quarter was a dour affair, restricted mostly to play amongst the forwards, as both sides battled it out in a bid to gain the ascendancy.
Cooper opened the scoring from the kicking tee in the eighth minute but shortly afterwards, Jono Lance was yellow carded for a tip-tackle on Grant Hattingh, which gave Louis Fouché a chance to level the scores.
He succeeded with his spot-kick and put his team in front with another three-pointer, five minutes later but Cooper responded with another penalty in the 35th minute.
The game came alive in the 37th minute thanks to a piece of magic from Cooper. He jinxed his way past three defenders and when he was tackled just short of the line he managed to free his arms and offload to Lance who crashed over for the opening try.
Cooper slotted the conversion and the Reds held a deserved 13-6 lead at half-time.
The Bulls narrowed the gap, shortly after the restart, when Fouché added two penalties within the space of two minutes after first Digby Ioane and then Ed Quirk were penalised.
The Bulls were reduced to 14 men in the 52nd minute when Lionel Mapoe received his marching orders for a tip-tackle on James Slipper.
With a man down, the Bulls struggled and Cooper got in for the Reds' second try two minutes after Mapoe's sending off when he sold Werner Kruger and Jano Vermaak a clever dummy, inside the Bulls' 22, before scoring undr the posts.
Cooper succeeded with the conversion and added another penalty five minutes later after the Bulls were pinned for a scrum infringement.
Morne Steyn came on for Fouché and added another penalty 10 minutes before the end but the Reds managed to cling to their lead until they were given that late scare at the death by Englebrecht's disallowed try.
The scorers:
For Reds:
Tries: Lance, Cooper
Cons: Cooper 2
Pens: Cooper 3
Yellow card: Jono Lance(tip tackle – 23rd minute)
For Bulls:
Pens: Fouché 5, Steyn
Yellow card: Lionel Mapoe (tip tackle – 52nd minute)

Title: Mountains and Rivers on the Kiso Road
Date Made: 1857
Lender: National Gallery of Victoria
In Japanese poetry of the early eighth century the seasons are symbolised by the traditional subject of Snow, Moon and Flowers. Eleven centuries later Hiroshige expressed the enduring appeal of this subject in a series of three triptychs. The first work in the series symbolizes the snow and depicts the harsh upper reaches of the Kiso Mountains in the Japanese Alps during mid-winter.

LFR6 - Game 4 - First Fail
Steve Dangle
January 25 2013 10:46AM
Not this again!
The Leafs implode against the Islanders on home ice. Here's what I've got to say about it...
The Leafs Nation.com recap
Yakupov goal
Steve Dangle on Twitter
Well said Steve, well said! You Nail'd it!
I liked Наиль's celebration, probably because, for some reason after watching him for more than a year now, I like the kid. Deep down inside I hope great things come his way and that fame doesn't get the better of him.
I find it disengenious to call out Kaleta for Bertuzzing Kessel when he runs Miller (which arugably Kaleta had a right to defend his goalie).
And Phaneuf on the other hand runs Taveres and then pulls a typical Kaleta "rat" move by not standing up for his actions.
I don't like Kaleta's game at all but Phaneuf's game is starting to verge on rat terrority. Either he plays the game clean like gunnar but if Phaneuf wants to be the tough guy then back it up when he is in the wrong. I don't want a Carcillo or Kaleta on the leafs.
That said, I think the rest of the video had the right message.
Yakupov's celly was fun to watch. Wish there was that kind of enthusiasm and heart from some of the Leafs players sometimes.
What do you make of Kessel's early struggles? I know it's still early, and not like the chances aren't there...Just curious...What changes do you think might help him out of it? Do you think moving someone like JVR or Frattin up on that line with him and bozak would spark something?

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Green River High School attends an Energy Job Opportunities Tour sponsored by the College of Eastern Utah/ Western Energy Training Center. Grades 7-12th were represented along with faculty and staff making a total of 120 people in the group. This tour was setup to give these students a first hand look at the various jobs in the energy industry.
The topics covered were safety on the job, type of jobs, skills needed for the job and salaries. They toured Joy Manufacturing, Savage Services Coal Terminal, and the PaciCorp Carbon Power Plant. They also visited the Western Energy Training Center where they had the opportunity to talk with representatives from WETC, the Department of Work Force Services, the Division of Rehabilitation Services, SOS Staffing, CEU, Career and Volunteer Services, Career and Technical Education and Admissions and Scholarships.
Energy Jobs:
Joy Manufacturing:
They have jobs in the areas of safety, inspectors, electricians, hydraulics, engineering, welding, machine operators, warehouse, fabricators, computerized drafting, sales, office, management, general labor etc.
Savage Services Coal Terminal:
They have jobs in the areas of safety, mechanics, welders, machine operators, truck drivers, unit train loaders, scales operators, office, accounting, management, general labor etc.
PacifiCorp: Carbon Power Plant
They have jobs in the areas of safety, board operators, technicians, electricians, mechanics, welders, pipe fitters, truck drivers, security, office, scales operator, management, engineering, planning, communications, general labor, etc.
Joy Manufacturing Tour:
Rod Mills from Joy greeted the tour and welcomed them into the lunchroom of the facility. The students were shown a safety video. The regular work of the shop continued on around the students as they toured the inside and outside of the plant.
Mills explained that their facility rebuilds mining equipment and sells parts for underground mining equipment. They are one of the world's leading underground mining equipment suppliers, with mining equipment being sold around the world in Mexico, United States, United Kingdom, China, India, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Australia and Slovenia.
The underground mining equipment is used for other mining besides coal including trona, salt, gypsum and others. The company produces a wide variety of underground coal mining equipment including roof support systems, longwall systems, continuous mining and haulage equipment.
Mills pointed out that safety is a main concern of theirs for the employees repairing mine equipment. Appropriate personal protective equipment is required in all areas of the shop. Mills mentioned the wages can vary from $12-$20 an hour depending on the employees grade and skills level. They have jobs in the areas of inspectors, electricians, hydraulics, engineering, welding, machine operators, warehouse, fabricators, computerized drafting, sales, general labor etc.
Mills said they disassemble machines and completely overhaul the electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems. Some of the machinery requires 1,200 man hours from start to finish for a complete overhaul.
Joy will train their own employees if trained workers aren't available.
Mills told students that women work in all areas of their facility as well as men. They have available positions on a regular basis. Sometimes new workers are hired and sometimes the workers are promoted from within the company and then entry level workers are hired to take their place. Five-six new people have been hired in the last 45 days.
Mills showed the students the hydraulic assembly room. The students toured the warehouse where Ed Liin is the supervisor. It is his job to supply parts to the mine as well as to the shop for the equipment repairs. Linn said he has 9,000 parts on the shelf at any given time.
Everyone in the facility is certified to operate a fork lift and they have been trained on it.
Mills told the students of the mechanical skills required for some of the jobs at Joy. They can be learned at a vocational college or sometimes in on the job training or an apprenticeship. The mechanics must know how to put together all the parts for the various mining machinery.
Joy employs 100 people between the shop and the warehouse and 30 people in the offices and sales people. Those people in the sales group help the mines with creating the specifications for the machines they need.
No two mines have the same requirements. The equipment is very site specific and adjusted according to the needs of each mine.
Mills said that 18 is the minimum age requirement for their entry level positions. The work they do is very important. Joy builds equipment to last and perform under the tough conditions of mining.
Mills explained the benefits their workers enjoy including dental, medical and vision.
Mills mentioned new technology they are working on for the mining industry which includes remote capabilities for the long wall mining.
Operators would control the coal cutting machines from a remote-distant location, eventually from outside the mine itself. This would help with safety to take the miners away from the face where the coal cutting is taking place. The machine would be directed remotely using cameras to guide the operator in running the machine.
Savage Services Tour:
The students toured the facility going from one coal handling facility to the next where millions of tons of coal are stored and ready for shipment. Bryant Hansen and Bob Mills gave the drive through tour and Boyd Rhodes and David Sorrells talked about what it takes to work at Savage. Jobs can range from $13-$20 an hour depending on the training and skills for the job. They told the students that they needed to be drug free, be to work on time, follow all safety rules, and gain the training and skills to do the job.
Savage handles more than 6 million tons of coal per year having it hauled in by large trucks, they handle between 500-600 trucks a day. Each truck hauls around 40 tons. They also load 50-55 unit trains per month. Unit trains are made up of between 100-110 rail cars and each car holds 100 tons.
PacifiCorp Carbon Power Plant Tour:
Shawn Powell handed out to each student a layout of a power plant and went though the process in operating a power plant. He started with coal handling and how this fuel goes into a plant, then to the boiler where it creates steam, the steam then turns the turbine and the turbine turns the generator that generates electricity. It was also discussed about the economics coal provides us with electricity which runs everything.
The students learned about how these companies work together to provide us with a high standard of living.
Coal is used to run the power plant which generates electricity that runs the mining equipment that mines the coal.
Joy manufacturing provides the mining equipment to mine the coal but the equipment would not operate with out electricity.
Savage Services could not move the coal without the electricity to operate the fuel pumps that pump diesel into the fuel tanks to operate their trucks. It all boils down to the use of coal.
Look at all the jobs that are available because of this very valuable resource.
This ended the tour and the students returned to Green River where each student was required to complete a report on the tour and what jobs they felt would be best for them.

I keep this one in my purse!I work in an office with a lot of paper, so my hands get dried out pretty quickly. I also knit, so I need my hands moisturized but not sticky. I LOVE this lotion.

Cycling is another wonderful way to explore the national park, whether it's a relaxed pedal with family on the streets and paved cycling paths in and around Waskesiu, an energetic spin up and down the hills of the Elk Trail or anything in between.
Various types of cycles can be rented in the townsite of Waskesiu. Check at the Visitor Centre for rental locations.
We hope this information will help you plan a cycling experience that is both rewarding and has the least impact possible on the park's natural environment and wildlife.
Check at the Visitor Centre for current information on trail conditions, weather forecasts, and hazards. If you're planning on staying overnight in the backcountry, a Park Use Permit is required.
Be alert for wildlife. Stop and wait for any animals to move off the trail. All animals in the park are wild and can behave unpredictably. Be especially wary of elk in spring when they are calving and in fall when they are mating.
Cyclists are more susceptible to sudden bear encounters because of the speed of travel. Use bear bells on your bike and make noise when biking through shrubby areas or approaching corners. Read the park publication 'You are in Bear Country' before your trip.

Skip to comments.Its This Bad [Outsanding from Dalrymple on England's descent into liberal hell]
Posted on 04/19/2006 5:32:55 PM PDT by Uncledave
Its This Bad: Theodore Dalrymple
Returning briefly to England from France for a speaking engagement, I bought three of the major dailies to catch up on the latest developments in my native land. The impression they gave was of a country in the grip of a thoroughgoing moral frivolity. In a strange inversion of proper priorities, important matters are taken lightly and trivial ones taken seriously.
This is not the charming or uplifting frivolity of Feydeaus farces or Oscar Wildes comedies; it is the frivolity of real decadence, bespeaking a profound failure of nerve bound to have disastrous consequences for the countrys quality of life. The newspapers portrayed frivolity without gaiety and earnestness without seriousnessa most unattractive combination.
Of the two instances of serious matters taken with levity, the first concerned a 42-year-old barrister, Peter Wareing, attacked in the street while walking home from a barbecue with two friends, a man and a woman. They passed a group of seven teenagers who had been drinking heavily, one of whom, a girl, complained that the barrister and his friends were staring at them. Nowadays, English youth of aggressive disposition and porcelain-fragile ego regard such alleged staring as a justified casus belli.
The girl attacked the woman in the other party. When Wareing and his male friend tried to separate them, two of the youths, aged 18 and 16, in turn attacked them. They hit the barristers friend into some bushes, injuring him slightly, and then knocked the barrister to the ground, knocking him down a second time after he had struggled to his feet. This second time, his head hit the ground, injuring his brain severely. He was unconscious and on life support for two months afterward. At first, his face was so disfigured that his three children were not allowed to see him.
The doctors told his wife, a nurse, that he was unlikely to survive, and she prepared the children for their fathers death. She wrote in a journal that she kept as she sat by his bed, Very scary feeling that all his natural life is gone. Nevertheless, he made an unexpected, though partial, recovery. His memory remains impaired, as does his speech; he may never be able to resume his legal career fully. It is possible that his income will be much lower for the rest of his life than it would otherwise have been, to the great disadvantage of his wife and children.
One of the two assailants, Daniel Hayward, demonstrated that he had learned nothingat least, nothing of any comfort to the publicafter he had ruined the barristers life. While awaiting trial on bail, he attacked the landlord of a pub and punched him in the face, for which he received a sentence of 21 days in prison.
Before passing sentence for the attack on Wareing, the judge was eloquent in his condemnation of the two youths. You were looking for trouble and prepared to use any excuse to visit violence on anyone you came by. It is the callousness of this that is so chilling. . . . You do not seem to care that others have been blighted by your gratuitous violence.
You might have thought that this was a prelude to the passing of a very long prison sentence on the two youths. If so, however, you would be entirely mistaken. Both received sentences of 18 months, with an automatic nine-month remission, more or less as of right. In other words, they would serve nine months in prison for having destroyed the health and career of a completely innocent man, caused his wife untold suffering, and deprived three young children of a normal father. One of the perpetrators, too, had shown a complete lack of remorse for what he had done and an inclination to repeat it.
Even at so young an age, nine months is not a very long time. Moreover, when I recall that for youths like these a prison sentence is likely to be a badge of honor rather than a disgrace, I cannot but conclude that the British state is either utterly indifferent to or incapable of the one task that inescapably belongs to it: preserving the peace and ensuring that its citizens may go about their lawful business in safety. It does not know how to deter, prevent, or punish. The remarks of the policeman in charge of the case were not encouraging. He said afterward that he hoped that the sentences . . . send a clear warning to people who think it is acceptable to consume large quantities of alcohol, then assault members of the public in unprovoked attacks. If the law supposes that, as Mr. Bumble said in Oliver Twist, the law is a assa idiot.
As for Peter Wareing, even in his brain-damaged state, he had a better appreciation of things. He was evidently a man of some spirit: having been a salesman, he decided to study for the law, supported himself at law school by a variety of manual jobs, and qualified at the bar at the age of 40. The extent of his recovery astounded his neurosurgeon, who attributed it to Wareings determination and bloody-mindedness. He is avid to get back to work, but the contrast between the nominal 18-month sentence for his attackers and his own life sentence, as he called it, of struggle against disability is not lost on him. If there were real justice, he said, they would have gone to prison for life. Could any compassionate person disagree?
Perhaps the final insult is that the state is paying for him to have psychotherapy to suppress his anger. I have this rage inside me for the people who did this, he said. I truly hate them. Having failed in its primary duty, the state then treats the rage naturally consequent upon this failure as pathological, in need of therapy. On reading Peter Wareings story, ordinary, decent citizens will themselves feel a sense of impotent rage, despair, betrayal, and abandonment similar to his. Do we all need psychotherapy?
A second case similarly illustrates the refusal of the British state to take the lives of its citizens seriously. An engineerPhilip Carroll, the father of fourwas tinkering with his car outside his home. Four drunken youths sat on a wall on his property, and he asked them to leave. They argued with him, and one of them threw a stone at his car. He chased this youth and caught him, but between 20 and 40 more youths loitering drunkenly nearby rallied round, and one 15-year-old hit the engineer to the ground, where he too banged his head and received severe brain damage. Unconscious for 18 days, he needed three operations to survive; and now he too has an impaired memory and might never work again.
According to his parents, the culprit, Michael Kuba-Kuba, felt deeply ashamed of what he had done, but this did not in the least prevent him during the trial from claiming (unsuccessfully, in the event) that he had been acting in self-defense. This does not sound like genuine shame to me but rather an attempt to get away with it. Before passing sentence, the judge said: I have to try to ensure that the courts will treat incidents like this with great severity, to send out a message to other young people that violence is not acceptable.
Another prelude, you might think, to a stiff sentencebut again you would be wrong. The young man got 12 months, of which he will serve six. Six months for the active life of a manfor having caused 30 or 40 years of disability, as well as incalculable suffering to the disabled mans family! It is not difficult to imagine Kuba-Kuba returning from prison to a heros welcome, because he had simultaneously gotten away with near-murder and survived the rite of passage that imprisonment now represents. The message the judge sent out to other young people, no doubt unintentionally, was that youths may destroy other peoples lives with virtual impunity, for the British state does not care in the least about protecting them or deterring such crimes.
Two aspects of the case went unexamined in the newspapers. The first was that Kuba-Kubas parents were the owners of a grocery store specializing in African foods, and were deeply religious. The young man doubtless did not grow up in abject poverty, then; nor would he have derived his readiness for violence from anything his parents might have taught him.
The second was that Kuba-Kuba was a talented athlete, apparently of Olympic standard. He was a promising soccer player, so promising that several major teams were seriously interested in recruiting him. If, as seemed likely, he had made the grade, he would have become a multimillionaire by his early twenties, earning more in a year than most people in a lifetime. Lack of economic prospects and the frustration it entails can hardly explain a propensity to violence in his case, therefore.
We must look elsewhere for the source of his violent conduct. Possibly he was born a sport of nature, a creature biologically destined to violenceno doubt there are such cases. But far more likely was that an aggressive popular culture that glorifies egotistical impulsivity and denigrates self-control influenced him. Although his parents presented him, in their statements, as a paragon of virtue, he already had a conviction for theft, and he clearly hung about with teenagers who drank a lot and made a nuisance of themselves. Carroll confronted the youth who threw the stone precisely because he was exasperated by the unruly behavior that prevailed in his neighborhood, undeterred and unpunished by the state. A senior policeman said after the attack, We have gangs of young people hanging around on street corners being abusive, intimidating and causing trouble. . . . They dont give a damn about the police or the criminal justice system.
And who can blame them? What deterrent, punishment, vengeance, or protection for society is six months in prison for having injured a man so badly that he did not recognize his wife or children for several months afterward, that he now has poor eyesight, has lost his sense of smell and taste, has to wear a brace on one foot and a hard hat to protect his skull, and says of himself, I just have no interest in anything or anyonehaving previously been a highly successful man?
Having seen how the British state takes the serious lightly, let us now see how it takes the trivial seriously.
The newspapers reported the case of an Oxford student who, slightly drunk after celebrating the end of his exams, approached a mounted policeman. Excuse me, said the young man to the policeman, do you realize your horse is gay?
This was not a very witty remark, but it was hardly filled with deep malice either. It was, perhaps, a manifestation of the youthful silliness of which most of us have been guilty in our time. And Oxford was once a city in which drunken students often played, and were even expected to play, pranks on the police, such as knocking off their helmets.
The policeman did not think the students remark was innocent, however. He called two squad cars to his aid, and, in a city in which it is notoriously difficult to interest the police in so trivial a matter as robbery or burglary, they arrived almost at once. Apparently, the mounted policeman thoughtif thought is quite the word I seekthat the young mans remark was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. He was arrested and charged under the Public Order Act for having made a homophobic remark.
The young man spent a night in jail. Brought before the magistrates the following day, he was fined $140, which he refused to pay. The police then sent the case to the equivalent of the district attorney, who brought the student before the courts again but had to admit that there was not enough evidence to prove that his conduct had been disorderly.
The degree to which political correctness has addled British consciousness, like a computer virus, and destroyed all our traditional attachment to liberty, is illustrated by the words of one of the students friends who witnessed the incident. [His] comments were . . . in jest, he said. It was very clear that they were not homophobic. In other words, the friend accepted the premise that certain remarks, well short of incitement to commit violence or any actual crimewords that merely expressed an unpopular or intolerant point of viewwould have constituted reasonable grounds for arrest. One consequence of the liberal intelligentsias long march through the institutions is the acceptance of the category of Thoughtcrime. On the other hand, political correctness permits genuine incitement to murdersuch as the behead those who insult islam placards carried by Muslim demonstrators in London four months after the publication of cartoons of Mohammed in a Danish newspaperto go completely unpunished. Other people, other customs.
Goodness knows how much time of how many people this episode in Oxford had wasted, and at what cost to the taxpayerall in a country with the highest rate of crime (that is to say, of real crime) in the Western world. I could not help comparing the alacrity with which the police dealt with the homophobic remark with their indifference to an act of arson my wife witnessed shortly before we left England.
She noticed some youths setting fire to the contents of a dumpster just outside our house, a fire that could easily have spread to cars parked nearby. She called the police.
What do you expect us to do about it? they asked.
I expect you to come and arrest them, she said.
The police regarded this as a bizarre and unreasonable expectation. They refused point-blank to send anyone. Of course, if they had promised to make every effort to come quickly but had arrived too late, or even not at all, my wife would have understood and been satisfied. But she was not satisfied with the idea that youths could set dangerous fires without arousing even the minimal interest of the police. Surely, some or all of the youths would conclude that they could do anything they liked, and move on to more serious crimes.
My wife then insisted that the police should at least place the crime on their records. Again, they refused. She remonstrated with them at length, and at considerable cost to her equanimity. At last, and with the greatest reluctance, they recorded the crime and gave her a reference number for it.
This was not the end of the matter. About 15 minutes later, a more senior policeman telephoned to upbraid her and tell her she had been wasting police time with her insistence on satisfaction in so trivial a matter. The police, apparently, had more important things to do than suppress arson. Goodness knows what homophobic remarks were being made while the youths were merely setting a fire that could have spread, and in the process learning that they could do so with impunity.
It is not difficult to guess the reason for the senior policemans anger. My wife had forced his men to record a crime that they had no intention whatever of even trying to solve (though, with due expedition, it was eminently soluble), and this record in turn meant the introduction of an unwanted breath of reality into the bogus statistics, the manufacture of which is now every British senior policemans principal taskwith the sole exception of enforcing the dictates of political correctness, thereby to head off the criticism levied at them for many decades by the liberal Leftnot always without an element of justification. Proving their purity of heart is now more important to them than securing the safety of our streets: and thus Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Another story in the newspaper then caught my eye: the government wanted to ban smoking in British prisons.
At first sight, this might seem like a serious rather than a frivolous idea. More than nine-tenths of prisoners smoke, and, if they continue to do so, about a half of them will die prematurely as a result. The evidence that smoking is bad for the health has long since been overwhelming and incontrovertible. Therefore, the government could reasonably claim that the proposed ban was evidence of its solicitude for the welfare of the most despised of all sections of society, prisoners. And after all, what could be more serious, less frivolous, than saving lives, or trying to do so?
In general, I am not sentimental about the rights of prisoners. I dont think the proposed ban infringes any of their rights; but it seems to me that there are plenty of reasons for treating prisoners decently and humanely other than the observance of their supposed rights. Decency and humanity are goods in themselves, after all. The proposed ban was not only hypocritical but gratuitously cruel and inhumane, and likely to prove ineffective into the bargain.
But it would be wrong even if effective.
Smoking is not illegal in Britain, and the government derives large revenues from the consumption of tobacco, indeed far larger than the profits of the tobacco companies. It uses these revenues not to lessen the taxes of non-smokers but merely as one among many other sources of revenue. Although high taxation on tobacco does discourage smoking, that is not, and never was, its primary aim.
At bottom, the proposal looks like the arbitrary bullying of a defenseless population in a fit of Pecksniffian moral enthusiasm. It is to deprive that population of a small privilege long accepted by custom and usage. And, of course, the moral enthusiasts of the government will not bear the practical cost of enforcing the ban; the prison wardens will. The proposal is an example
of the soft and creeping totalitarianism that comes with unctuous offers of benefits and avowals of purity of intention, rather than the boot-in-the-face variety of Orwells description. It is the insinuation of the government into the nooks and crannies of everyday life, on the pretext that people are incapable of deciding anything for themselves. Everyone is a child for whom the government is in permanent loco parentis (except children, of course, who can consent to sex at age 16 and are to be given the vote at the same age, if Chancellor Brown has his way).
The newspapers confirmed what I had long perceived before I left Britain: that the zeitgeist of the country is now one of sentimental moralizing combined with the utmost cynicism, where the governments pretended concern for the public welfare coexists with the most elementary dereliction of duty. There is an absence of any kind of idealism that is a necessary precondition of probity, so that bad faith prevails almost everywhere. The government sees itself as an engineer of souls (to use the phrase so eloquently coined by Stalin with regard to writers who, of course, were expected to mold Homo Sovieticus by the power of their words). Government thus concerns itself with what people think, feel, and sayas well as with trying to change their freely chosen habitsrather than with performing its one inescapable duty: that of preserving the peace and ensuring that citizens may go about their lawful business in confidence and safety. It is more concerned that young men should not smoke cigarettes in prison or make silly jokes to policemen than that they should not attack and permanently maim their elders and betters.
One definition of decadence is the concentration on the gratifyingly imaginary to the disregard of the disconcertingly real. No one who knows Britain could doubt that it has very serious problemseconomic, social, and cultural. Its public serviceswhich already consume a vast proportion of the national wealthare not only inefficient but completely beyond amelioration by the expenditure of yet more money. Its population is abysmally educated, to the extent that in a few more years Britain will not even have a well-educated elite. An often cynical and criminally minded population has been indoctrinated with shallow and gimcrack notionsfor example, about social justicethat render it singularly unfit to compete in an increasingly competitive world. Not coincidentally, Britain has serious economic problems, even if the government has managed so farin the eyes of the world, at leastto paper over the cracks. Unpleasant realities cannot be indefinitely disguised or conjured away, however.
Therefore I have removed myself: not that I imagine things are much better, only slightly different, in France. But one does not feel the defects of a foreign country in quite the same lacerating way as the defects of ones native land; they are more an object of amused, detached interest than of personal despair.
Pretty bad when you have to move to France.
Sounds much like another country I know.
England is in the grips of Liberalism and this is just one of the results.
Advanced stage would be when a Blair is gone and a Mugabe takes over. Just a case of moving from "moderate" liberalism to the end product.
This is because Liberalism is social AIDS. Once entrenched, it removes a country's ability to resist more serious social diseases such as despotism.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE comes to reality.
Of course if Mr Wareing had been armed and shot his attackers, they would have thrown him in prison - and for a lot longer than nine months!
Before you realize it, its too damn late to do anything short of revolution to change it.....it's a sad state of affairs - and it may move across the Atlantic.
There is an absence of any kind of idealism that is a necessary precondition of probity, so that bad faith prevails almost everywhere.
Excellent point. Without idealism, without the idea that there is something greater than our individual selves, without ideals to aspire to we sink to the cynicism and hopelessness that is symptomatic of leftism.
Excuse me, said the young man to the policeman, do you realize your horse is gay?Europe is decadent.
He was arrested and charged under the Public Order Act for having made a homophobic remark."
The Islamic imperialists, the Chinese oligarchy, the Marxist and sociopathic leaders of the Western Left, and all other enemies of Western Civilization are well aware of this.
The only people who don't seem to know this are the morons who compose the rank and file of the Left, but these morons are too stupid to comprehend anything. That's why they're Leftists.
The result when PC is taken to its (il)logical end.
But one does not feel the defects of a foreign country in quite the same lacerating way as the defects of ones native land; they are more an object of amused, detached interest than of personal despair.
I don't know, reading this filled me with despair, and I'm not even a Brit. Are they past the point of no return I wonder?
Brilliant. Beautifully written. There's nothing like a well-educated British writer. Those with the best educations in England have always been well educated indeed.
But perhaps that is no longer true. A sad business.
Chirac boasts of hedonism. In Britain and Ukraine that means drunkeness, as far as I can tell.
It's a shame too. My wife and I spent our honeymoon there and went several times after that. It's a fascinating and beautiful country, but it ain't worth my life.
Slight disagreement. If there were real justice, the attackers would have been dead.
Otherwise, a great article. Thanks for posting it.
We in America should bow our heads every day and thank God for giving our nation's founders the wisdom to write and include the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights. I realize that the Second Amendment was included primarily as a tool for armed revolution against a possible future tyrannical government, but it also comes in mighty handy for dealing with common street thugs as well.
If the Dems come back or the Pubs don't grow some cojones it will.
E.G. "I'm protesting Bush trampling on civil liberties" versus ignoring Islamic extremists that blow you up or put you under Sharia law.
Next thing you know they will be issuing warning tickets for
rape...or turning their backs on muslims building giant mosques and planning terror attacks from them...
Are WE past the point of no return I wonder?
Greart article BTW.
What the author doesn't apparently realize is that, since effective gun-banning is in place in England- all violence has now stopped.
Therefore, if you suffer an accident at the hands of a mob, you need to realize that it was love that hurt you.
You've gotta love anyone who properly uses the term "Pecksniffian" in an article.
But, France? Oh dear. . .
That was one of the frustrating flaws of V for Vendetta, a flick with some energy but horribly muddled ideology. It portrayed the "sheeple" phenomenon while skipping completely what would have been its logical cause, which is exactly what Dalyrmple describes in this piece. On the other hand, while true that the left-wing social disease will lead to disaster, one possible manifestation of it could be the eventual rise of a Hitler type. I would forgive the movie if it predicted that history, but the film's notion is that modern-day conservatism leads to the portrayed dystopia.
That pathetic apologia from the UCSD student regarding speech codes yesterday came to mind reading this. It is simply difficult to credit that normal, intelligent people are capable of repeating such palpable nonsense so solemnly and expect other people to accede to the mutual illusion. We aren't immune from this by any means.
Thanks. Writing this the week of the Duke Lax fantasy just hits the nail on the head.
The Pubs would need a scanning electron microscope to find their cojones.
I fear your right.
I visited the UK several times throughout the later 90s, and spent my final visit in July of 2001. Each time, I watched the city deteriorate until it was unrecognizable. The 'spirit' that was so tangible in '90 had disappeared.
My husband and I will celebrate our fifth anniversary this year (good gravy!) and since we didn't have a honeymoon, we were thinking about different cities to go to. London was suggested, and nostalgia made me consider it--but the place is so different. Just a shell of what it was.
And more concerned with taking firearms away from law-abiding citizens than with keeping criminals armed with rocks, sticks, and fists from brutalizing those law-abiding citizens.
But the root of this is that Britain has a socialist mindset -- Labour advances socialism and the Tories preserve it until Labour takes power again -- and socialism is fundamentally criminal at its root, being based on the confiscation (pronounced, "theft") of lawfully-earned property for the benefit of the idle. Hence a socialist state is almost guaranteed to take the side of criminals against the side of the law-abiding and productive. The socialists know who their friends are.
Pretty fancy words the judge was using, showing off his public-school education no doubt. For all the uneducated yobbo understood of his lecture, he might as well have been speaking in Welsh.
This kind of thug only understands the language of hot lead and hard wood. Bringing back the rope is not sufficient; it's time to start hanging them in chains at crossroads, for the ravens to peck out their eyes.
This is a phenomenal quote:
"...one does not feel the defects of a foreign country in quite the same lacerating way as the defects of ones native land; they are more an object of amused, detached interest than of personal despair."
thanks for posting that. the man is a great writer.
IMHO Britain day by day is turning more European (in the European Union sense). I have noticed in recent years angry readers who are furious with American retorts of European (I shall stress not necessarily British) anti-Americanism, and angry detractors of American patriotic articles on dates such as July 4 each year, have been Britons. These Britons are quite busy defending their European neighbours and joining them to bash their American brothers.
It is as if Thatcher's times as Prime Minister is ancient history now, and Britons have abandoned what she stood for in droves.
"The [English] Channel is wider than the Atlantic" is now firmly a thing of the past.
I wouldn't say it is socialism, but rather, a mindset that believes fundamentally power flows from those who are in charge. Sure, there are concepts of liberty, constraints of the political leaders' power, but deep down the source of power is granted to people from the Crown, and it is deemed common sense over in Britain to believe that to maintain order in society, that government should do something "deemed sensible" in the way of combating disorder.
Because of this belief, explaining the US's Second Amendment might as well be talking to them in Malay.
And the sad fact is we have always had this sort of violence even when I was growing up in avery tough part of the East End.
As a young lad in the early 70s I would not go into bars where I was not known.
The what you looking at has always been used to start a punch up, with also popular you looking at my bird, and you just made me spill my pint
And it was the same in my Dads day as well.
There are parts of Britain that have always been very violent, going right back through time.
That said we need to sort out a better sentencing structure.
The problem is we tend to use jail to much, which means we end up with overcrowded jails, and so have to limit the time spent.
We need to sort out a proper sentencing strategy and maybe look at what constitutes a crime as well.
I know one crime that I would legalise as it uses up more than its fair share of police, court and prison resources.
Also I sometimes work with youngsters and on the whole they are law abiding.
Its just the bad ones, the mindless thugs and criminals who get publicity.
I have to correct you on this, it was a very violent time as well depending on where you visit. Do you forget the race riots in Brixton, the Notting Hill riots, the Miners strikes and riots
And as a native of London large parts of the city has been gentrified, the whole of the Thames Area.
And we still have the same spirit as yester year.
Most street crime now days is youngsters on youngsters.
By the what where were you a student, I had just left the Regular Army then, and was attending London University QMW

LOL and the root cause of crime in other countries is:
He misses a point. If these incidents were considered "normal", and not out of order, they would not have been in the newspapers which he read.
Plenty of normal life goes on in England. I live on the South Coast, and while we have our share of young and stupid teenagers, this is a good place to be and to live.
Every country has its problems, but there are virtues too. What is certain is that every time the world has written Britain off, that judgement has been proven incorrect.
Regards, Ivan
I'm glad you pointed that out. We certainly have our share of incidents of liberal madness in the U.S. (most of them are chronicled and exposed here on FR), yet I'm not even close to pronouncing this country irretrievably lost.
There is a difference between expecting a fight in a bar in a tough neighborhood and expecting a fight -- to the death, mind you -- while you are fixing your car in your driveway.
Concerning everywhere, the circumstances described in the article remind me a bit of my suburban neighborhood in the '70s when the biker gangs where in their heyday.
Things have gotten much better.
Good read! Makes you wonder about the ones who claim that we are becoming better and better all the time...why in no time, we will all be gods!
I agree, problem was the bloke was fixing his car in a tough neighborhood.
Most of this sort of crime happens in the same neighborhoods, and its usually the same kids, and there kids, in fact usually the same family.
In my old area there were one or two families that were the most aggressive, petty criminals the works, and today their grandkids and in some cases great grandkids are just as bad.
The problem is that this sort of crime only gets reported when the victim is seen as one of the betters, but it is mostly ignored like your street gang violence in your cities when its just gang on gang, or in our case poor working class beating up on poor working class.
So most people while they may tut tut over there newspapers don't care because it wont reach them, although it does reach there children when they are mugged for there mobiles, ipods psps and trainers.
I, too, was a student in London during 1990. During the summer, which was a World Cup year. I've been back several times since, most recently in 2005. I couldn't agree more that it's a shell of it's former self. I don't want to return.

Skip to comments.McCain favors boarding NKorean ship
Posted on 06/21/2009 8:43:37 AM PDT by rabscuttle385
WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain says the U.S. should board a North Korean ship it is tracking if hard evidence shows it is carrying missiles or other cargo in violation of U.N. resolutions.
McCain says that such cargo would contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to nations that pose a direct threat to the United States.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Strawberries and yellow cake. That's the ticket.
I wish he would!
I respectfully request that you sit down and be quiet.
(1) Somebody else is President,
(2) I'm tired of policing the world, and
(3) North Korea has a right to ship anything it wants to.
If that fact doesn't sit well with the UN, let the UN — without American support — take whatever action it deems appropriate.
If, however, North Korea fires a missile at the US, we should bomb that nation off the face of the earth. See, that's not complicated.
I agree with McCain on this one.
I understand what you're saying and agree on the dangers, but on what grounds does one country or a group of countries tell another sovereign nation what defensive or offensive weapons it can have or sell?
A happy reunion with Communist captors and brain-washers?
For years the U.S. has been the defense guarantee mechanism for Saudi Arabia, Israel, south Korea, Germany as well as others.
None of these pay for the security we provide. And most treat us like crap.
I for one am tired of being the worlds cops.
Let the dogs of the world kill one another.
Do I really care if Iran and Saudi Arabia have nukes and destroy each other?
Tired of seeing our boys killed for others.
Under the Bush doctrine, our policy was one of preemption even if the danger was not imminent. There are limits to what we can do. We could not disarm the Soviets or the Chinese for very real reasons. It was beyond our capability to do so without suffering massive destruction ourselves. I believe we can have a policy of differentiation that deals differently with NK and Russia. Nuclear proliferation represents a significant danger to us and our allies. Rogue regimes like NK and Iran will destabilize their regions and threaten our national interests with their nuclear weapons.
Your logic is similar to that used by Obama and his left wing cronies. Obama says the US should not try to impose its political ideas on other countries. I gather we should remain silent about human rights and freedom and liberty if we are not directly involved. I disagree. Here is what another Dem, JFK, said in his inaugural address in 1961:
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globethe belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americansborn in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritageand unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledgeand more.
I was in Poland during martial law. I can tell you firsthand how powerfully Reagan and the Pope influenced the Polish opposition, Solidarnosc'. As the world's lone superpower, we still have the ability to influence the world's future and outcomes. That ability is declining as our country plunges into debt fueled by increasing entitlement programs and socialism that will force us to choose between guns and butter. And no doubt, we will choose butter.
That simply isn't true. We do get cost offsets and some burden sharing from countries like South Korea and Germany. Saudi Arabia repaid us fully for the costs of the Gulf War and they pay for all the arms they receive from us, which provides jobs for Americans and lowers unit costs. I agree that our allies can and must do more in providing for their own security. We can no longer afford to do so by ourselves.
Do I really care if Iran and Saudi Arabia have nukes and destroy each other?
If that occurred, the world's economy would plunge into the toliet. Saudi Arabia has the world's largest proven oil reserves and is the biggest exporter of oil in he world. Most of Iran's exports go to Japan and China.
We must protect our strategic national interests around the globe. We should only put our personnel at risk when those interests are involved.
(3) North Korea has a right to ship anything it wants to.
umm no. Whose side are you on anyway?
Well, what's keeping him?!?
"I understand what youre saying and agree on the dangers, but on what grounds does one country or a group of countries tell another sovereign nation what defensive or offensive weapons it can have or sell?"
principles of freedom and morality
I still say, we do not have the right to board another nation's ships on the high seas. To do so is an extreme provocation and perhaps an act of war. We had better have a really good reason and feel that the consequences are worth the risk.
Go away, John. Just please goaway.
What happens if NK tells the US that it feels intimidated by our superior forces and demands that we give up certain types of weapons and ships? I'm pretty sure their twisted minds see their interests in terms of "principles of freedom and morality."
To me, it all comes down to being prepared to fight and win. I am ready to help my friends — Britain, Israel, Poland, Australia, etc. — and face my enemies.
I wish peace for all the world, but we must stay ready to defend our freedoms and prevail.
I must respectfully disagree.
North Korea is not a "sovereign nation." True sovereignty requires legitimacy, and the government of North Korea is not legitimate. Legitimate governments govern by the consent of the governed and respect the implicit human rights of those they govern, at least to some degree. North Korea does neither - it is a rogue state that exists purely as a result of its ability to hold the North Korean populace hostage by force.
The same was true for Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime and the same is true for the Iranian ayatollahs. Illegitimate regimes have no legitimacy and thus can NEVER be considered sovereign. When they act in ways which potentially infringe on truly legitimate and sovereign nations, those nations have a right to preemptively step in and end it before real damage is done. We have a right to step in and prevent a bully who has threatened to shoot our friends from even loading his gun.
Appeasing dictators and affording them the rights of sovereign nations has never worked and has always led to unnecessary bloodshed.
"What happens if NK tells the US that it feels intimidated by our superior forces and demands that we give up certain types of weapons and ships? Im pretty sure their twisted minds see their interests in terms of principles of freedom and morality."
I don't care what those those friggin commies think. I believe in moral absolutes. They are evil and they want to screw over the entire world. It's not PC and it's not 'nuanced' diplomatic thing to say but it is the reality we face.
So Senators are supposed to be quiet while "someone else is President". What's that all about?
You are "tired of policing the world"? We haven't been policing the world or we wouldn't be worrying about Iran and NK.
NK does not have the right to ship anything it wants if it threatens the security of the world. Just like you don't the right to do anything you want or transport anything you want if it threatens others.
We may not like these bully nations, but they're here to stay until they implode or their own people rise up and make some changes. Meanwhile, we need to strengthen our defenses and make it known that we'll defend ourselves and stand by our friends.
Walking softly and carrying a BIG stick implies that we'll have the good judgement to "ask permission to board" before stepping on the deck of another nation's vessels.
I tend to doubt NK has nukes. If they did, they would be trying to hide the nukes, not gallivanting about declaring "we have nukes, no really, we do, we dare you to find them." If I were in charge of NK, I would be figuring out a way to FEED the population before they revolt and rip out Kim Jong Il's beating heart and put it on a stake at the edge of Pyongyang.
I can see where you are coming from. With that said, I simply cannot agree. Mere possession of authority does not make that authority legitimate, and a government without legitimate authority cannot be said to be legitimate and thus possesses no sovereignty. I don't necessarily consider "democracy" as a prerequisite of the legitimacy of which I am speaking - European monarchies were legitimate yet clearly were not democratic. The difference is that they governed by implicit consent.
The American Revolution was fought in recognition of this principle. The British government had the requirements of authority, boundaries, etc. vis-a-vis the colonists but lacked legitimacy in those areas by virtue of abuses and lack of consent. Our founding fathers had a right to overthrow them by virtue of that lack of legitimacy in ruling over us, hence the Declaration of Independence. The British presence in the Americas had far more legitimacy than the North Korean government's rule over its people.
Governments which do not recognize rights have no rights. I would like to see a peaceful resolution to this affair but I cannot in good conscience recognize or respect the sovereignty and privacy of a nation which refuses to recognize or respect the sovereignty and privacy of the people it rules over.
Were the roles reversed, North Korea would not hesitate for a moment to board our ship. They do not deserve dignity they are not willing themselves to extend. All they care about is power.

Super cute and uber comfy!
"From the moment I put these shoes on they have fit perfectly! I've worn them a few times now for long periods of time and I have no complaints! The material is supple and soft and there's some cushion on the bottom as well. I did order 1/2 size down though (normally I wear a 7, I got a 6.5). GET THEM! I got the turquoise and they are fabulous!"

Slightly different than they look-
"I ordered these shoes a while ago, and when they arrived I noticed they were different than they seemed online. They are REALLY shiny. Definitely not for everyday wear. And mine were really big. I had to take them back."

cute but large!
"I got these in black suede. First of all, they are very cute. I took the other reviewers comments into consideration and ordered a smaller size (7.5 rather than my usual 8). But, They are still TOO big. I will try them with those very low cut socks, but they may have to go back. I also think they may show a little "toe cleavage", which I'm not really a fan of. They seem comfortable from trying them on, but I haven't worn them."
