Random Thoughts for the day - 25th Nov 2011

Does a country (and therefore it's Government) have a duty of care towards it's citizens?

If it does, what needs to happen when a country fails in this duty of care?

And how does a country serve out this duty of care in the first place?

"For the common good"

Now there's a phrase that you don't see much these days...

Random Thought - 22nd Aug 2011

How important is it for a Christian to give money/financially to God via the church given that Christians give their whole lives to God?

My Bucket List

As I'm heading for the big 4-0 next year, so in all likelihood I am now over half way through my life on this mortal coil, I think now is probably the right time to start writing a bucket list. So here goes my first attempt (you could probably call this an Alpha version):

- Visit San Francisco for a holiday.
- Play in the World Series of Poker Main Event at least once
- Play the European Poker Tour London Main Event at least once
- Eat a battered, deep fried Mars or Snickers.
- Test drive a Chevy Volt electric car.
