Social Justice ten times better than God

Posted by Guest Blogger on Sunday, 02 October 2005 02:17.

Every month I get a magazine from my old school, Xavier College, which is the leading Catholic private school here in Melbourne.

Up to now, I’ve been uncertain whether I want to send my own son to Xavier. But the latest school magazine has made the decision easy. He won’t be going.

The latest magazine shows all too clearly how far the school has drifted away from Catholicism into a modernist, secularised liberalism. In fact, going by the magazine the school has dropped religion altogether in favour of a new kind of cult called “social justice”.

In a black cab

Posted by Guessedworker on Sunday, 02 October 2005 00:46.

Oxford Street was closed today.  Our taxi driver told us as soon as he pulled away from where we had hailed him.  Getting to Victoria would be slower than usual, and time – as well as distance - is money in the taxi business.

The closure was to accomodate the final event in Ken Livingstone’s series of special promotions which, with superb irony, went under the title “Everyone’s London”.  I would have named it “London is Anybody’s” but that would probably be too honest and, anyway, I’m not the Mayor.

The Ithaca of Odysseus discovered

Posted by Guessedworker on Friday, 30 September 2005 09:17.

A fascinating story that complements Heinrich Schliemann’s discovery of Troy in 1871 has appeared in the press today.  To quote from Nasa’s pre-press announcement:-

The location of Greek hero Odysseus’ homeland - the island of Ithaca described in the poet Homer’s Odyssey - is a mystery that has baffled scholars for nearly 3,000 years. Now this ancient enigma has been solved with the help of World Wind, NASA’s 3D planetary visualisation tool.

The site of Homer’s Ithaca has been identified by Robert Bittlestone, Chairman of the UK management consultancy Metapraxis, whose quest was motivated by combining his company’s experience in the visualisation of complex data with a lifelong interest in Greece and the classics. He has solved the problem with the help of James Diggle, Professor of Greek and Latin at Cambridge University, and John Underhill , Professor of Geology at Edinburgh University.

Will that be one wife or two?

Posted by Guest Blogger on Friday, 30 September 2005 01:11.

Alastair Nicholson was until recently the chief justice of Australia’s Family Court. Soon after he retired, he wrote a newspaper article supporting homosexual marriage. His argument was that traditional marriage, defined as an exclusive union between a man and a woman, was already defunct.

Not only was marriage no longer limited to heterosexuals, in Nicholson’s view it was no longer limited to couples either. “It is difficult to argue that a modern marriage necessarily excludes all others”, he concluded.

Still putting out the bunting for the Turks, if wistfully

Posted by Guessedworker on Tuesday, 27 September 2005 23:46.

Guardian Woman is such a contradictory creature.  She will convince her childless self that kids are an enslaving burden to her, yet proclaim an humanitarian love for everybody else’s.  She will tear your reputation into tatters if you say the wrong thing, yet proclaim herself the very embodiment of tolerance.  She will consider men as irredeemable oppressors, and may even have proved to herself that “gender” is a social construct.  Yet she will invest hours each day patiently finessing away as many of her physical imperfections as she possibly can.  Just in case an interesting oppressor comes upon her in the poetry section in Foyles.

Given her alarming propensity to walk on both sides of the street at once in opposite directions we should, I suppose, always anticipate a new psychological dichotomy.  And she may be developing one right now, albeit extremely patchily.

If it exists – and I am only suggesting the possibility, that’s all - it is still very nascent and based solely on the calculation of what so much childlessness adds up to: race replacement, for good or ill.  Let’s sketch out the historical process I see just beginning to form through the mist.

Livingstone expects

Posted by Guessedworker on Tuesday, 27 September 2005 21:48.

Thanks to Johan Van Vlaams for the link to this wonderful example of what the left thinks of ...

... the new North Terrace of England’s monument to its national heroes.

“The Mayor of London is to throw his weight behind an appeal to allow a statue of Nelson Mandela to stand on the north terrace of Trafalgar Square.

Westminster Council rejected plans for the 9ft tribute to the South African president last year saying the terrace was not the best location.

Ken Livingstone’s support comes ahead of a public inquiry to challenge the council’s decision ...  He said: “There can be no better place than our greatest square to place a statue of Nelson Mandela so that every generation can remind the next of the fight against racism.”

“More training in dealing with traumatized refugees” - of course, that’s the answer

Posted by Guessedworker on Tuesday, 27 September 2005 19:53.

From the Norwegian/English language newspaper, Aftenposten:-

Police in the southeastern county of Østfold have been spending lots of time at an asylum center in Våler, where a group of refugees from Chechnya have demanded that strict Muslim laws be followed. Police worry that center administrators have lost control.
Both residents at the center at Nordbybråten in Våler and employees working there have been frightened by the group of around a dozen Chechen refugees, reports local newspaper Moss Avis. The Chechens allegedly are demanding that everyone must pray to Allah, that no one can wear shorts and that they must be allowed to be the first to take their meals.

Happiness

Posted by Guest Blogger on Tuesday, 27 September 2005 04:37.

There is a new battleground between left and right liberals, namely, happiness. Their debate about what makes us happy reveals a great deal about the mindset of both the left and the right, so it’s well worth looking at.

I will take as a representative of the left, the Australian “think-tanker” Clive Hamilton, and on the right, another think-tanker, the Swede Johan Norberg.

The left: Clive Hamilton

Last year, Clive Hamilton published a discussion paper called “The Disappointment of Liberalism”. He began this paper by noting that liberalism had succeeded in its basic aim.

What is the basic aim of liberalism? Let me put it this way, as simply as I can.
