The strange thing is, throughout my listening career, and the time that they have been in existence, I have always thought: Ah yes, must get my grubbies on some Cure.
But never did until until a couple of years ago.

Hmmm yeah ...End Of Days....
Who`s to say that it would be a bad thing ?
The question is would the survivors have learnt anything?
We`ve been fighting wars and torturing and maiming in the name of Christ ever since we murdered him !!!

It's taken me a little while to post on this thread as one of my heroes is both revered and hated across the world in equal measure, so there will probably be a similar split on here.
So, my hero is none other than Ernesto "Che" Guevara, revolutionary, guerrilla leader, doctor, author, intellectual, diplomat and to me probably one of the most important and controversial figures of the 20th century.
El Che, was a highly inspirational and controversial figure. He is seen by his followers as a charismatic, decent human being. A brave man who led people not only by using lofty ideals but, by resorting to lead people by example. However, aside from all this El Che was also, just like all of us, a flawed human being. He was stubborn, arrogant and to a certain extend a bit self deluded. Not in his capacity to lead and inspire people but in his passionate and unwavering belief that Socialism would unite all the disadvantaged people's of the world and on his mission to eradicate social injustice.
It was his arrogance and stubbornness that, in my opinion, during his last campaign in Bolivia caused him to antagonise the Bolivian Communist Party (whose support he needed to start another revolution) that left him and his troupe isolated which ultimately resulted in his demise.
As a boy growing up in Latin America I saw El Che as a Hero who stood up against American imperialism and left a lasting legacy to this day.

so, you expect sense on the touchy subject of the Nuclear Deterrent huh?
I don't believe there is, or ever was in the very idea of a nuclear deterent.
However, we have one now, and as a result find ourselves in a rather tricky situation.
We have weaponised uranium in warheads fitted to a whole plethora of delivery devices.
And so do they.
But who are "they"?
Pandora's box is box is now open, and all sorts of states, countries, nations... what you will, have, profess to have, or would so vehemently denying having that we really should think they doo have nuclear weapons, or the capability to use nuclear technology.
It used to seem so simple (though I'm sure it wasn't) back in the good old Cold War, when anyone with the tiniest bit of sense lived in constant fear of either one side or the other pressing the Red Button in a moment of madness. Chilly, nuclear winters!
Now there little country's, unstable country's, country's unable to afford the safe upkeep of their crumbling nuclear defence as it rusts in silos and submarines.
There is the threat of Nuclear terrorism. How close that may be is anyones guess, but I wouldn't put it being too far away in the respect of using radio-active materials, rather than bombs.
But how would we (Great Britain) respond to any of these threats?
Korea might be a threat, but not to us directly... The States are more likely to take the payload than we are.
So, would we launch a few mega-tonnes of long-burning death on South east Asia in retaliation?
Surely it would be too late. Tit-for-Tat is madness when plaing with the big toys.
as of course Mutually Assured Destruction always was.
I believe that the Nuclear World is too fractured to maintain a worthy Nuclear deterrent. The target too small. If money needs to be spent in regard of the threat against us, spend it on the laser systems, and airborne platforms that would remove any air-threat, not on more, or maintaining the vast stupid arsenal we already have.
Did our system ever work anyway? Would we ever know?
If we did we would only have a very short period to bask in the glory of our deterrent as the flesh falls from the bones of our loved ones in front of our very eyes. "weren't we brilliant darling, look at the lovely sunset"... "ah yes, your eyes, well, I assure you, it's beautiful".
Nah, loose 'em.

In the course of a conversation today, a friend commented that I do solitude very well. I think it's true; I love my own company. I'm happy in the company of others but equally comfortable spending time alone.
Do you enjoy solitude? Do you relish time alone or do you long for company? Does being alone worry you?

If Nick Clegg says the Liberals will get rid of Trident we can only assume that he also intends to stop invading other countries.
The only bullies in the equation are the Americans and the lap dog British.
We are the ones invading other countries and imposing our political systems upon them, we are the ones carrying the big stick, threatening other countries with sanctions if they don`t do what we say !!!
No wonder these others feel the need to make their own nuclear weapons, maybe it would stop them from being invaded and dictated to by foreign governments.
