Today I think I shall struggle a little to find something to write about. So far the biggest event of the day was some guy having a loud conversation on his mobile phone whilst sat by the next computor to me. Hardly world shaking stuff.

Dying A Death

What on earth is all this fuss about Magrahi for? If the court was correct and he was guilty of causing the Lockerbie Bombing, then frankly I have no sympathy for him at all. So what if he's dying of cancer? There are people around the world dying needlessly for all sorts of reasons, and I suspect a great many of them are more deserving of life.

Unfortunately his hand in the loss of a jumbo jet over Scotland and everyone aboard makes him something of a notorious figure. I notice though that the sudden support for rebel movements in Libya came after this man was released on humanitarian grounds. Okay. he's free. Now let him die.

That will probably sound a bit harsh to some people. That's the problem with justice. None of those people he killed can be compensated or brought back, so how can such a man be justly dealt with? One obvious answer is through legal proceedings, which has already occured, but that alone doesn't necessarily make it right. After killing 243 passengers, 16 crew, and 11 people in the town where the debris fell, an act that was deliberate and premeditated, how does a few years in prison ever really be considered just punishment? Fate has intervened and now he's suffering.

Nope. Not bothered at all.

Where's Waldo?

After the long commercial success of Where's Waldo? or his british clone, Where's Wally?, how long is it going to be before someone creates a Where's Gaddafi? book? Come to think of it, Where's Saddam? or Where's Bin Laden? were popular news items for ages.Where's Hitler? has sold copies in various forms ever since 1945.

Hmmm... That sets me thinking... What about Where's The Stolen White Eunos Cabriolet?. Might have some commercial poosibilities. It's a fair bet someone made money on my lost car by now (a little clue for the police there, in case they're struggling to solve the mystery).
