The Disappointment of Diaspora
Immigration is not the solution. Not for the individual. Not for the masses. As a great educator once said, ‘You must first put your own house in order before you go out and change the world.’ Stay home. Work hard. Apply yourself.

If you want to be free and dispose of your property as you see fit, Canada is not right for you.

It would be crazy. No way. So many people continue to act on the delusion that their choice really makes a difference. … Continue reading The Absconding Freedom
On Robber Barons
Funny thing how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let’s consider knighthood, for instance. It all started like this, which was the ideal of the valiant knight who would sacrifice his own life to protect and succour the weak, the feeble, women and children, in short those who couldn’t protect themselves. Modelled … Continue reading On Robber Barons
