1st up: The rising tension on the Middle East. A Catholic priest has been shot in his own church, by a fantical Muslim, shouting :"Allah is great!" as the crime happened. Well, I guess this is the Muslims' response to the cartoons, by returning the favour, quite literally. By killing a servant of God on in their own place of worship, is as good as disgracing that religion, as, if God existed, he would have saved his servant from death. Quite ironic, and a very nice slap right back into the Europeans' face if you ask me. The Denmark government, looking remarkabley like the *old*NKF of Singapore, are pushing the blame sololy into the newspaper publishers. The act in its nature, is unmistakable. Pushing the blame clean off yourself, I am pure, the others are dirty and evil kind of thinking should be left behind where it belonged, the childish years of their lives.
On the other hand, the stupidity of Australian newspapers to publish the offending cartoon in their papers, is shockingly senseless. Have they not witnessed what is happening around the world due to this childish joke by a moronic Danish artist? Is the newspapers seeking public attention? If so, I am sad to say that it's a stupid way of getting attention. They must be desperate enough to do so, as from the point of the Muslim Community worldwide, they see the Westerners ganging up to insult the Muslim religion.
Sigh, O Wretched mortals, Open up your eyes!!! (Da Vinci)
2nd: Singapore should really consider returning to the 1960s-1980s form of public transport. I had the fortune today to take a bus of that era home today, and after a few spruces to the bus, I see and enjoy my ride more than the *modern* buses. The old buses, after adding airconditoning, are as comfy as the modern day buses. Sure the engine makes heck of a noise, but I think its nicer than the new engines, as it has a beat to it. And, anyway, all forms of public transport ( bus ) are noisy so I would really comment on that. The most amazing thing is that the *old* buses have a LOT of footspace. I mean after cramping in a SBS bus, I was AMAZED to find that the old TIBS bus provided even more footspace than the average automobile, and for the 1st time, I could stretch my legs as I rode home. It is really more comfortable than cramping up in some seat that only a child could sit comfortably. The aisle is also remarkably larger and there was no problem in having 2 people walking up and down at any one time. The exit was just amazing. It was a sliding door, which actually allowed passengers to stand till the doorway, and the dorr still can open normally! Needless to say, today was the most fun I will ever have riding on a public transport home. Next time when you see a old bus, salute to it, and marvel at the thinkings of the people back then, for making the bus more egronomically than it is now...
