I write a lot, and have published a lot of letters to the editors. But I'm not important. What I say is. And the things I say, and have to say, are in the thousands not just the few threads I have posted here.
One soul asked, where does he come up with stuff like that? I could answer that I have a high IQ, or that I am highly educated, or that I simply was taught to question everything, especially the cant of the majority view on things. I don't accept any of the standard issue crap that is dished out by Academia, The Elite Media, PC thinking, whether of the Left or Right. If everyone is going around salivating as to how we should dump a few billions into the teeming mess in the Indian Ocean, I question whether we should be sending one dime.
Then i started my research in politics. UK politics isn't purely technocratic, so my degree isn't so important in the sense of it's qualification. It's the knowledge I bring to the table with it thats important, the international relations in particular. I'm going to be specialising in middle-eastern and central asian politics, most likely, because I feel thats where the focus is going to be. however, i am tempted to focus on China, it really is a sleeping giant and frankly, if I get a job as a diplomat I'd rather be in Beijing than Tehran. I'm just having a little problem with the language. I began learning Japanese a few years back which was comparatively easy compared to either Mandarin or Cantonese. I'll have to wait till I finish my research and focus on language, rather than doing both.
