I plead NOT GUILTY
24/06/08 09:54 AM
Well, I don’t really plead. I wouldn’t want to give
“Them” the satisfaction of thinking that I succumb to
their self appointed ‘moral’ authority to insist that
I am guilty of anything their tiny minds can come up
with.
But I do insist that I am NOT guilty as charged of any or all of a litany of so called “crimes”.
Today’s crime:
Giving natives Small Pox impregnated blankets 400 years ago so that I could steal their land and condemn them to a horrid future of bad water, booze filled days and nights, a propensity for blockading highways, smuggling cigarettes and casino ownership.
I did not do that. I don’t know that anyone actually did those things and I frankly don’t care. It was a long time ago, get over it. My ancestors in Malta were not very good fighters who lived on a small island with lots of fresh water and pretty, dark haired girls with big hazel coloured eyes. They were conquered by everyone with a boat big enough to get there and land.
You don’t see roving bands of Maltese people dressed in Camo and beating drums demonstrating in front of the Phoenician Embassy for some kind of reparation payments. Maltese people aren’t hunkered down in run down huts in the back woods, (well, back shrubs) of the island of Comino waiting for “Whitey”, (or would it have been “Brownie”? I must look up some old photos of Phoenicians to be sure.) to come and make things right.
Malta was even over run by the British, who took over the island to use as a hospital during the Crusades to liberate the Holy Land from the “Heathen”. Thus the birth of the St. John’s Ambulance organization and the Knights of Malta. The Brits stayed for 400 years, until they were asked to leave by the far Left government of one Dom Mintoff, an early clone of Jack Layton, who seemed really surprised that they picked up and left. Dom was left with a lot of unemployed ship yard workers who used to look after the Royal Navy and did not last much longer in office.
However, the Maltese people got over it. The aforementioned “Heathens” who were the subject of those Crusades? Not so much. As a matter of fact, they seem to be capable of holding a grudge for about as long as the myriad of tribes scattered throughout Canada waiting for “someone to DO something” and make things better.
Hint: Apologies and big fat guilty cheques from the weak kneed politicos of the day are not going to make things better. You need to stop blaming me and get on with life. Invent pastizi, learn how to make nice lace doilies, cut the tails off of your cats or something to help you move on. Just like the Maltese people did.
Tomorrow’s sin? BURNING THE PLANET!!!
