busy week
Too much that needs doin' and it's taking serious discipline to keep on some sort of track. By the time the day has faded, so have I! Clones, I need clones. Hopefully before November is done I should be caught up to where I wanted to be last August.
When I shut down last night I cruised through part of the blogroll plus a couple that haven't been entered yet and stopped on Lilek's. He had a link with no explanation so I had to go look. It turned out to be The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris by Theodore Dalrymple from the Autumn of 2002. It is 9 1/2 12-point pages and deserves reading. I had heard of Dr. Dalrymple before, just had not read anything of his in the past. After finishing that essay, I googled him and read a few more:
The Frivolity of Evil
Autumn 2004
Living for kicks: the ugly face of Britain
October 22, 2004
The Carers need the Cared-For more than the Cared-For need their Carers
It's daybreak, time to get my ass in gear.

Theodore Dalrymple is a British doctor and writer who has worked on four continents and has most recently practiced in a British inner-city hospital and prison. He has written a column for the London Spectator for thirteen years and is a contributing editor for City Journal in the United States.

I have always believed in the first rule" when you steal from one part of society to give it to another the people getting it ain't gonna appreciate it." The French have sowon the seeds of socialism and now they are gleaning the crop. The sad part is that we have the same problems in our inner cities witha sub culture of blacks and other minorities that raises it ugly head once in a while such as during the huricanes. And, like the French, we buy them off with more government funding and stick them back in the projects until the next time.
