Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsThis is an example of corruption in plain site and once thought to be the purview of organised crime. Oh, come to think of it!!

You Say You Want a Reformation — Merve Bendle, Quadrant
Islam remains constitutionally unable to embrace the open society that the West enjoys. Instead Islamists and other devotees of ultra-reactionary Saudi-backed Salafi fundamentalism are vigorously seeking to reassert this medieval theological irrationalism throughout the Muslim world. They are never going to yield to calls for reform. Nor is there any likelihood that the backward-looking Muslim diaspora exploiting the welfare states of the West will rise to the challenge, contest this obscurantism, and modernize Islam, perhaps transforming it into something akin to liberal Christianity by capitulating abjectly to secular consumerism, political correctness, Green-Left ideology, and becoming a Uniting Church of Islam.
Random Note #175,684 — Bullying, the first resort of the linguistically challenged

Very clever. And funny. Both barrels. Steve Waterson really takes it up to Triggs and Soutphommasane at the Human Tights Commission and18c over Bill Leak.
Sorry, does that sound a bit insulting? No? Let me try again.
I reckon I can work out where you’re from just by driving behind you; half the languages in the world sound like bickering monkeys; everyone’s folk songs, dances and costumes are ridiculous; some countries have national delicacies I wouldn’t feed to my dog; even more have religious beliefs that are beyond parody. I’m not singling out any particular nationality for abuse — though you know who you are — because I’d like to catch as many members of our vibrant multicultural society as possible in my web of insults.
Michael Moore: Here’s Why Trump Will Win The Election
He’s obviously still a leftie but unlike many of the talking heads, cognoscenti and supposedly informed commentarial from the MSM who exhibit their bias by omission with pride, Michael Moore really gets it and understands what going on. Now, whether Trump actually wins is another point altogether but in this case its the sentiment expressed by Moore that is significant.

Climate of ignorance — Matt Ridley, Spectator
Back in 1908 Svante Arrhenius, a Nobel laureate and the father of the greenhouse theory, predicted something like this would happen. ‘By the influence of the increasing percentage of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, we may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates,’ he wrote. The earth, he predicted, ‘will bring forth much more abundant crops than at present, for the benefit of rapidly propagating mankind’. This has proved to be the case.
Hillary Clinton delusions and her lying. She simply makes stuff up
When asked about her name, Hillary, she said that her mother named her Hillary after the first man to climb Mt Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary. BUT, there’s a huge problem with this and as is often the case, its all in the tell tale loose ends and lack of attention to the detail.
From porkies to whoppers: over time lies may desensitise brain to dishonesty — The Guardian
I guess the unscientific, layman’s explanation is that when practiced regularly, lying becomes an easy habit to fall into. In fact it becomes so much the norm that the liar doesn’t actually see what they do as lying. It becomes so knit with their character and personality.
