Thought of the day:


2 December 2011


"Are you 
one of a kind: emphasis on one, or on kind?" 

Thought of the day, as I think of the inter-generational plight of the Roma, Europe's most marginalised people: in this Advent season, as the decorations go up, and lights go on, think of consumerism. Are you 
one of a kind: emphasis on one, or on kind? A kind of person or a kind person? Generously-speaking, generally, would you rather be genetic than generic? Or just apologetic? At about 10-12 million, there are twice as many Roma in the EU than in both parts of Ireland, north and south. As a people, they have no equal voice in the European Council, no budget, no home, no government. And no bail-out. What will an EU fiscal union mean for them?

"People should be heard, not herded"

"Losing interest in banks takes on a whole new meaning, 

as they flagrantly fail to exercise CSR 

by refusing to pass-on ECB rate cuts"

"It takes a strong heart to nourish the brain, but

it takes deep wisdom to uplift our brains to the levels of our hearts"
