<P>Hi.</P>
<P>Things are ticking along just fine.  I thought about this issue of Britain's 200th anniversary of abolition of the slave trade.  I think it's ridiculous that they refuse to apologise for the gross inhumanity inflicted upon so many African people from their part in the slave trade.  They are blatantly patronising the issue from the position of power.  What they are doing is saying we can make slaves out of Africans and then when we decide to stop and live fluently with them, we are not liable for any punishment for the slavery we inflicted.  Put it this way, if I was to kidnap a British person and take them to Africa, make them into a slave picking cotton and keeping them in line with the whip etc.  And then after twenty years of abuse decide to stop and live with the British person 'granting them' the rights of my African culture, do you not think it would be outrageous to say that I AM NOT GOING TO APOLOGISE FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE ALTHOUGH I REGRET IT AND HAVE SORROW, AND I AM NOT LIBABLE FOR ANY PUNISHMENT.  That is what the British people have done with the slavery issue. </P>
<P>Let's put it another way - SLAVERY IS A CRIME.  For instance, it makes no difference if a man commits a crime 20 years ago, he should still be liable to pay for that crime today.  In the case of slavery, the governments of the countries which allowed slavery should be liable to pay for that crime today.</P>
<P>It makes me sick to the stomach when they say 'It was all in the past, we're civilised now so lets just forget it'.  They try to sweep it under the carpet and take no responsibility for what their ancestors have done.  Their lives now are a direct  result of their ancestors and the profit from what their ancestors have done.  Their attitude brings no justice for the many Africans who lost their lives as slaves. <IMG src="http://www.findandmakefriends.com/file/smile/sad.gif"></P>
<P>On  another note, I'm not impressed with that Heather Mills doing her stuff on the American dance show.  I simply don't respect someone whom I think is self centered and exploitative. I think Sir Paul Mc Cartney was a bit naive not to have taken strong measures to ensure that he couldn't be ripped off.</P>
<P>Here are a few jokes:</P>

<P>Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"</P>

<P>Hello again.</P>
<P>Just a point I'd like to raise.  I was looking through a British newspaper today and I saw another article about Britney Spears.  It made me think about all the bad press she has gotten recently, and I think the press should lay off her and others like her.  The press seem to build certain people up, and when that person falls short of a deemed 'perfect image', I've noticed the press are capable of ripping them to shreds at every opportunity.  Britney Spears may not have a 'perfect commercial image' (whatever that is) but she is in fact a human being and not a commercial product.  Human beings are all different, and ultimately it is her life and so long as she is not doing anything evil or criminal, she has the right to live it without being treated cruelly.  The same goes for the other celebrities that the press bring up and and then crash down.  I think it is very shallow.  People go through ups and downs in life and that is not rocket science - the press should understand this.</P>
<P>Here are a few jokes....</P>
<P>Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.<BR>When did you first notice this problem?<BR>What problem?</P>
<P>Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next."<BR>They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.<BR><IMG src="http://www.findandmakefriends.com/file/smile/wink.gif"></P>

<P>No matter how hard or bad things may seem, the Divine will ultimately look after His people by God's realm in relation to other life.  You can always have a true friend in God.</P>

<P>Two drivers climbed out of their cars after colliding at a road junction.  One produced a hip flask from his pocket and said to the other:"Here, have a nip of whisky to calm your nerves."</P>
<P>"Thanks," said the other driver, taking a swig from the flask. "Here, you have one too," he added, handing back the whisky.</P>
<P>"No, I'd rather not - the police will be here soon." </P>

<P>We've finally got a bit sun in London.  After the dreadful flooding we've had a few days of sunshine which is good.  Let's hope summer lasts more than a week here.  The rain was really bad recently and there were reports of lots of homes being ruined.  I was fortunate as all I suffered was a bit of a leaky roof.</P>
<P>Pondering what will become of Beckham due to his move to LA Galaxy.  When will he actually play, and is he superhuman enough to lift a team that has been performing so badly.  I hope he doesn't convert to Scientology - although I think they will wait for him to have a moment of weakness and then pounce.  I think if he converts to Scientology he will lose his independence and become a follower where his life will be controlled by an unusual and consuming system.</P>
<P>I'm a bit of a comic book movie fan and I'm looking forward to the 'Iron Man' movie coming out next year.  The Spider-Man 3 movie was good.  Also the Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer movie was good.  I think it would be a great idea to do a 'Doctor Strange' movie as that could appeal to the generation that originally read the comics.  It would have immense scope for special effects and the storyline could be mature.  I'd like to see it done.</P>
<P>A married man took a solo trip to Bermuda that was part work, part vacation.  He fell so in love with the place that he wired his friend: "Catch next plane out.  Bring my wife and your mistress."</P>
<P>The friend wired back: "Your wife and I arriving tommorrow 4:30 p.m.  How long have you know about us ?"</P>
