A good blustery run through the woods before returning to the Highlands.
In Spiegel Online last week, veteran philosopher Jürgen Habermas spoke of his anger at our
politicians who have long been incapable of aspiring to anything whatsoever other
than being re-elected. They have no political substance whatsoever, no
conviction (ref). These same politicians
are now simultaneously meddling with two of the consequences of
decades of short-sighted selfishness - financial insecurity in an unsustainable
capitalist culture, and escalating carbon emissions in a warming climate. So
much for democracy. Does anyone know a really smart and benign dictator ?
