we is all good peoples here

But delivering the Steve Biko memorial lecture at University of Cape Town, he questioned why a respect for the law, environment and even life, were missing in South Africa.
"What has happened to us? It seems as if we have perverted our freedom, our rights into licence, into being irresponsible. Rights go hand in hand with responsibility, with dignity, with respect for oneself and for the other.
"The fact of the matter is we still depressingly do not respect one another. I have often said black consciousness did not finish the work it set out to do," he said.
He said government officials often acted like former officials during the apartheid era - treating people rudely.
He said South Africa should oppose xenophobia and act sensitively when place names were being changed rather than appearing to gloat and ride roughshod over the feelings of others.
He also made a plea for people to pick up litter, to care for their own environments and for their fellow citizens.
"Perhaps we did not realise just how apartheid has damaged us so that we seem to have lost our sense of right and wrong, so that when we go on strike as is our right to do, we are not appalled that some of us can chuck people out of moving trains because they did not join the strike, or why is it common practice now to trash, to go on the rampage?
He said that South Africa remained a wonderful country that had produced outstanding people - such as Steve Biko, the anti-apartheid leader who died in police custody in 1977.
"The best memorial to Steve Biko would be a South Africa where everyone respects themselves, has a positive self image filled with a proper self esteem and holds others in high regard."

Retired Anglican archbishop Desmond Tutu.

BBC “Is SA losing its way?” “Is South Africa in danger of losing its moral direction?”

Tut Tut Tutu. You of all people !!

One day a Pharisee came to Jesus and essentially asked what he had to do to get to heaven. Jesus answered “You must be born again.”
The Pharisee responded “what ARE you talking about?”
Jesus asked, are you a master of Israel, a Pharisee, a religious leader and you don’t know what I am talking about? I ask you, How can that be ? ?”

Tutu you were a master of the church and you do not know what happened to South African morals?
How can this be ? ?
“Perhaps we did not realize just how apartheid has damaged us so that we seem to have lost our sense of right and wrong.”
Jesus said “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” as recorded in Jeremiah 17:9 Tutu, you being a church leader should have known it. Apartheid did NOT damage anyone ! ! The damage was already done.

Our own literary laureate tells us of a village of Eskimos who were starving. When the folks at the radar station gave food to one of them they did not understand that he did not give ANY of it to the others ! !

Respect for the law, environment and even life in South Africa always have been missing because each individual in the country has been missing it from birth. The ONLY solution is to start allllll over again – as Jesus said “you MUST be born again.” !

THE Latest Greatest

The Archbishop of Canterbury has attracted widespread criticism after appearing to back the adoption of some aspects of Sharia law in the UK.
Dr Rowan Williams said the UK had to "face up to the fact" some citizens did not relate to the British legal system.
The BBC understands from sources who work on Christian-Muslim interfaith issues that the Dr Williams has faced a barrage of criticism from within the church and has been genuinely taken aback by how his words were received.
The Bishop of Hulme, the Rt Rev Stephen Lowe, criticised the "disgraceful" way in which the archbishop had been "ridiculed" and "lampooned" by some. "We have probably one of the greatest and the brightest archbishops of Canterbury we have had for many a long day," he said.

Lets ‘face up to the fact’ There have ALWAYS been some citizens of England who did and do not relate to the British legal system ! ! A whole bunch of them. AND guess what !! That did not change the law before. Just ask the guys who are currently incarcerated in jail if they relate to the law ? ? Ask average citizen on the street if he or she relates to the British legal system ! !

IF it is true that we have ‘Probably’ one of the greatest and the brightest archbishops – that therefore those who went before were not so great or bright – it is little wonder that the church has in the past been so dumb !

Yes of course, there should be ONE law for everyone. Yes of course it is dumb to adopt an uncivilized code of ethics in an otherwise civil country – though lately we wonders …. Yes what of the 60% who do not want a change of law; didn’t we go through this ‘Majority’ rules thing in our dumocratic Government debates ?

BUT the big problem is the mix of church and state. Here we have a genuine church dumb bell who thinks that – I suppose just because he has a big title ‘arch’ that he can therefore tell the state what to do ! ! Didn’t we go through this whole separation of church and state business ? I am NOT advocating that the citizens of a country can not run their government just because they happen to belong to a church. The secular government IS obligated to have just laws ! ! The citizens of the country ARE obligated to keep the country morally clean ! ! But Arch y is NOT a private citizen. Of course NOT. The leader of the state should not be a leader in the church just as the leader of a church should not be a leader in the state. AND that Includes making public comments. There is plenty to talk about in the church without making political comment and there is plenty to occupy state government without messing with religion.

Muslim Imams, Popes, and all other such people take note. Presidents, Prime Ministers, and all other such dictators take note.

Hi Dad, Mom, Mom

“embryos have been created using DNA from a man and two women in lab tests in UK.
The technique is intended to help women with diseases of the mitochondria - mini-organs that are found within individual cells. They are sometimes described as cellular power plants because they generate most of the cell's energy. Faults in the mitochondrial DNA can cause around 50 known diseases some which lead to disability and death.
About one in every 6,500 people is affected by such conditions, which include fatal liver failure, stroke-like episodes, blindness, muscular dystrophy, diabetes and deafness.
At present, no treatment for mitochondrial diseases exists.

Within hours of their creation, the nucleus, containing DNA from the mother and father, was removed from the embryo, and implanted into a donor egg whose DNA had been largely removed.
The only genetic information remaining from the donor egg was the tiny bit that controls production of mitochondria - around 16,000 of the 3billion component parts that make up the human genome.
The embryos then began to develop normally, but were destroyed with six days.

Mrs Quintavalle said embryo research in the US using DNA from one man and two women was discontinued because of the ‘huge abnormalities’ in some cases.”

How ethical of them to destroy embryos.

So what is this? One good copy and a bunch of bad ones. Another good one and a bunch more bad ones. Finalllly an other good one and a whole bunch of bad ones. Huh! Science is having sooooooo very much trouble making it work but evolution did it no problem – just a little time. They really expect me to believe that ? ? ?
