What is it about this country, everybody needs to lay down the law all the time? After all, this is a function reserved to us columnists and bloggers, butt out the rest of you.
Kidding aside, the situation is getting a touch out of hand, don’t you think? What with superannuated Yankee ambassadors parachuting in to tell us that we have to have a reference to God in the Constitution, as if we didn’t have enough blinking fundamentalism already, and people rabbiting on about saving Dwejra and having Maltese artists in Isle of MTV and so on and so forth, where is it all going to end?
His not-any-longer Excellency Kmiec, for a start, should bow out gracefully and not show his face around here any longer. He is representative of no-one, having had the distinction of having been given the right royal elbow, and his notions of what is of paramount importance in a constitution are of “the less said the better”, frankly. When are we going to get the message that this is a secular country, one which respects all beliefs and the lack of such beliefs, and your chosen belief system, whatever it is, is your responsibility and yours alone?
And so to Dwejra, where the window is not collapsing...
