| Cameron isn't much of an advert for an Eton education. Every time David Cameron opens his mouth, I realise that the much vaunted Eton education isn't worth having. The reason no one these days talks about "good and evil", "right and wrong", is that no one with a scintilla of intellectual integrity could use these words with a straight face. For starters, if Cameron believes in the Theory of Evolution, perhaps he would like to explain where in the long jourmey from primeval slime to Eton, "goodness" became a feature of DNA? Can we use an electron microscope to see the "goodness" gene? Muslims have recently complained that they have been the victims of "bullying", yet their religion states that all infidels are going to hell. Er, if you're completely intolerant towards others and wish them to be eternally damned, why are you surprised when they don't like you? Is the Islamic position right or wrong? Are they good or bad people? When someone blows himself up and kills many others at the same time because he believes God has commanded him to do so, is he a sinner or a saint? (Did Abraham tell Yahweh to take a running jump when he ordered him to kill Isaac?) Since the demolition of morality by Nietzsche in the nineteenth century (he demonstrated the entirely immoral basis of morality), and the work of postmodern thinkers such as Derrida and Baudrillard, no thinking person any longer has any regard for any "truths" other than those promoted by science (and these are never any better than provisional truths). Cameron is a poorly educated, greedy, self serving man on the make. He is even worse than his fellow public school boy Tony Blair. Isn't it time to vote for a smart political party, full of intellectuals? Isn't it time for the Meritocracy Party?! |
