Most Amazing Experience

I had the best experience everrrr yesterday. Nothing is better than knowing that you are loved...and loved unconditionally. I am such a bad Christian, like I am a convenient Christian, pray when I remember or when I am in a jam. Yesterday, I was not on top of my mountain singing "Joy to the World", more like on a hill saying "yeah I am still here". Anyway, as I sat there, I had this remarkable feeling of peace, I smiled and I knew that it had to be God. And I almost cried because all I could think about was I have not prayed in ages yet he made me feel better in an instance.

YES, studying is moving at a snail's pace but I will be back on top oh so soon. I read in the papers about this illiterate women who at 50 decides to get English. How inspiring is that. HA! I sound so loony but I am oh so joyful. Wonder how long it will last. Who cares I am gonna ride it like a wave!!!!! Keep Safe.

How Noble Are You Dr. James Watson???

1962 Noble Prize recipient for Medicine, Dr. James Watson is again on a roll!!! Latest is that studies show that black people are less intelligent than white people. Wow!! All I can say is that this is hella motivation for me to ensure that racist asses like this have exceptions to their biased views and when those exceptions turn out to be the rule, what then Dr. Watson? This man was a part of the team that discovered the structure of DNA, so you are tempted to say that he must know what the hell he is saying. After all DNA is the boss when it comes to the make-up of humans but I gotta turn my back on this "scientific fact". I wonder if I were white if I would feel this way?

After all I do believe that white people have no rhythm, maybe I am being hypocritical. I have to evaluate that one but for now Dr. Watson you are an arse.

HIATUS!!!!

Hmmm! Hi Readers, how's it been? Well I am at that point after peaking and there is no other direction but down, yes, you guessed it, law studies have been relegated to the backburner while I rethink and revise strategies to come back with a BANG and proceed to climb back to that peak. Hopefully, all this will coincide with exam time. Yeah? Yeah? You think? Ahhh, not too sure but keeping fingers crossed.

At least the mind is not asleep so good news there and I refuse to get frustrated. No intelligent post here today. Sorry for the disappointment if you found the others to be even mildly relevant and reflective of good sense.

I may be going crazy (indicated by the impish grins that play hide and seek on my face) AH , another stupid grin, yes I am declaring insanity. Surprisingly not from studies, in fact I study best when I am in the Mad Scientist mode but not yet my little darlings for I must time this progress to align itself with May/June.

Could you follow anything I just posted? Well, that makes maybe none of us. Toodles

Hunting for a better judgement??

And they are off!!! Again!! Pro-hunting factions after having failed at using the validity of the Parliament Acts to declare Hunting Act 2004 unlawful are now raising the banner of Human rights and European trade as a support for their cause.

Parliamentary sovereignty is a ghost, isn't it??? UK makes it laws and as a defense, people always revert to the infamous need for respect for human rights and look to the EU and the EC as their saviours. I wonder if the UK were to withdraw from the EU, what the hell would happen???? Hmmmm?

And yet another lawyer brings the trade into disrepute. You always hear these corny jokes about lawyers being unscrupulous witches and wizards who will go to any ends to concoct a potion to bedazzle the judge or jury and win their case. Is it indispensable that as lawyers in order to succeed, you have to draw your arse in the dirt???

Human Rights - Fundamental or Fight against Fundamentalism?

As I read Gibbs' article on the LCJ and his address to the American Bar Association, I wondered "is Human Rights respected as fundamental to each and every individual or is it just another strategy against fundamentalist tendencies and eruptions?"

Sure, a policy and a strategy will undoubtedly at times serve different purposes for the benefit of society. But why was the HRA enacted? Was it because of pressure from the EU or the commitment made to honour obligations made in that forum by the EC Act of 1972? I believe that our approach to HR should not lie in what benefits it holds for the preservation of society, albeit I am not disputing the indispensability of that notion. It should be founded on the realization that as humans, as inhabitants of this land, each and every breathing individual is entitled to such privileges.

Just my airhead view anyway.

A Different Mark!!

Hey to all readers! I came across this article in Times online by Edward Fennell "Making a mark may be easier" and of course it makes for relevant discussion, especially for those interested in Intellectual Property (IP)issues.

The long and short is that the UK IP Office which registers patents and trademarks will no longer investigate the relative conflict between a new trademark and an existing one. There are arguments defending the pros or cons of the move. Some attorneys believe that the authority once associated with a trademark will be diminished.

I understand all these misgivings and the implications of such a move. However, I have to side with those who espouse the view that now companies will have to take the protection of their intellectual property interest seriously and at heart. Gone are the days of relying on the UK IP Office to be watchdogs, now it is every man for himself. And I am indeed concerned for those small business who it is projected will face a disadvantage in terms of cost and resources to maintain the needed vigilance. In everything there are ups and downs. What are your pros or cons? Let's hear it!!!
