Well the results are in. James Cauchi has earned a whooping 17 votes on the 9th district and a full 9 votes on the 10th district. Well… OK so I’m a little disappointed and had been hoping that a good few dozen persons or, dare I had hoped, a hundred-odd individuals would have seen and understood that I was the genuine article. ^_^; As it stands it appears that many either did not or felt that others out there were more suitable. That is their choice at the end of the day and I do of course thank all those individuals who did believe in myself. There is of course more to be said.

A significant portion of the population of a number of countries within the Western World are of the sentiment that once an individual makes choices that serve to make him or her a ‘public figure’ then so too should every aspect of that individual’s life become the domain of the general public. Such is a sentiment that has afflicted the lives of individuals from many walks of life, including actors, athletes, politicians, chefs and even individuals caught up within tragedy or other news-worthy events. Is this to be considered acceptable?

What is right and what is wrong? One would typically head towards one’s nearest Bible, Koran, Torah or other religious script in one’s quest to shed light upon the matter - were one devout, that is. It is often said that the uniting of church and state is a necessary evil - one which is inescapable - but is it truly so?

What of the legal system? In many countries one finds that the church and the rote of values that it represents filters into the deepest recesses of what society considers to be socially acceptable or not. In the name of scriptures written by hands long forgotten millions have perished and many more have suffered, divine judgement passed by the none-too-divine.
