Comments on Portrait in courage

Anyone who has ever spent time in an all female school, college or university residence knows the Mme Blair type well. Hillary Clinton and Nancy Reagan are of the same ilk. They are toxic females perpetually promoting their alleged intellect and sexual attractiveness while relentlessly putting down the genuinely brainy and attractive representatives of their own sex. They are in essence wannabe playgirls of the month without any hope of gaining that questionable status and the rest of us are made to suffer endlessly to feed their illusions. BTW add Michelle Obama to that list.

I know our rulers,in all the democratic countries, are vile,but I am always surprised at the infinite ingenuity with which they find new ways of being so. Now if some of this cleverness could be used to rule honestly,why that would be the wonder of the world.

I am not sure how you reconcile a libertarian viewpoint with saying that she "sacrifices other people's children". Apart from the fact that using the word sacrifice is a tad strong, aren't we supposed to make up our own mind as adults ?

There are plenty of things to say about her, I do not think this is one of them.

Monoi,
Most Libertarians would agree that the power of the state should not be used to make up people's minds for them on matters such as vaccinations.

However, it is entirely fair for the public to take other members of the public or government to task when they show a callous disregard for the truth and other people's welfare. In fact, under a limited government, as Libertarians desire, it is desired that the public police these things more.

She is sacrificing other people's children. And deserves public ridicule as a result.

As a Libertarian, I just don't think that the government should punish her. (Although as a rational person who doesn't like seeing kids die of preventable diseases, I'd probably turn a blind eye.)

Cherie Blair/Booth gave a lawyer's reply to whether Leo had had the MMR jab in saying that he had been vaccinated - but didn't say what with. It may have been so that he doesn't catch his elder brother's "illness" which caused him to collapse in a London shop doorway (and the mockers suggested he was drunk - how could they?). For most of the time she spent (sorry, that's the wrong word as she never spent a bean on anything if she could blag it) lived in Downing Street she had the opportunity of being a role model, albeit an ugly one, to other mothers and giving the truth about the jab would have given others the impetus to have their offspring vaccinated. However, why should she give anything away when she can put it in a book and gain a million quid, like a true Socialist!
