What Happened To The Quick Bounce Back That Was Predicted
In a way, the UK should have been the best-prepared country for the destructive force of Covid-19 on the economy. Throughout 2019 hardly a day went past without someone reminding us of the dangers of a cliff-edge Brexit.

Can you be a Christian and a Liberal?
Being a christian liberal is like being a conservative atheist. It's almost an oxymoron... Liberals get the stigma from conservatives that they're dangerous because they don't have a higher power to look up to. In fact, some conservatives even view fellow conservatives who are atheist as an attack from the left.

Crumbling Walls
I have come across a recurring theme in cinema and music over the past few years that has really changed the way that I view authoritarian systems. The most recent viewing that drew this thought process from the back of my skull is the anime adaptation of the manga 'Attack on Titan'.

I am anti-Socialist/Communist
I have been asked many times, (More times than I care to count) given my current financial circumstances, why I am so Anti-Socialist/Communist. Well the answer is simple, because I love freedom. I want the freedom to choose for myself what I will do, if I want to become rich I can. If I want to stay the way I am, that is my choice as well. If I choose to believe there is a God, or if I choose to believe there isn't, I am free to do that. If I choose to speak on anything, I may do so without the fear of being attacked. You see under a Constitutional Free Market/Capitalist system, I have that freedom. I have the freedom to fail or succeed, if I have the skills and determination to succeed. But if don't have them, then I will fail. In a Free Market/Capitalist system it's all on me, fail or succeed, it's all on me.

Covid-19 and the Age of Misinformation
I cannot follow the logic of some on the right. At first “the libs got it wrong. “We are only going to see 60k deaths. The projections were wrong.” As we approached 60k, the script changed. It was “well the CDC revised its count downward.” Then the media reports that, in fact, the count was not revised downward and the discrepancy you see is the difference between provisional deaths and confirmed deaths. For a death to be confirmed, you have to have a death certificate. It often takes weeks after a reported death to get a death certificate. If someone tests positive for covid-19 and then subsequently dies from complications, then it’s presumed to be caused by covid-19. That’s a logical assumption. There has been hardly any deaths that have been revised from the time of the presumed deaths until the time the death certificate confirms the death.

Why Queen Elizabeth I should be respected
I got my hands on this book that was written in 1952 by a man named J.E. Neal. It says he was given special recognition for his autobiography of the Tudor Queen, Elizabeth. The infamous queen, the last known Tudor monarch, ruled for nearly 45 years. While some queens have ruled longer in English history, none of them changed the course of the nation much like that of Elizabeth.
