anarchy sounds better

Two traditional bases of power are having a hard time in Belgium at the moment. Not a day passes without yet another catholic priest (or bishop or whatever ... no level is spared) being exposed as a child abuser. On the other hand the whole of the political 'class' has shown once again that good government is about the last thing on their minds. That will not keep them from making a lot of empty promises in the campaign towards the coming elections though.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Some good can come out of this though. This might be a good moment to clean out the last remaining grip that religion has on our society. Let us turn completely secular. No more 'approved' religions, no more state money to its dignitaries. None. And that includes your religion, my muslim readers. If you are having a good laugh at the expense of the catholic priests at the moment, I have this to say to you : "read up on the - confirmed by muslim historicians - history of Aisha and your so-called 'profet' before you start throwing proverbial stones".

The political class is going to be a bit tougher to remove. If you sift through the political nonsense on the radio and television these days you'll find that our political system (called 'democracy') is actually an unassailable, self-sustaining parasite on the back of our society, beneficial only to those belonging to it. Very much like a religion in fact. However, as was shown in 1940 at Eben-Emael (and by the catholic church this very day), unassailable forts do not exist.
