Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.
Lema: A verdade é como o azeite, precisa de um pouco de vinagre.
Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista, em carta a Marcelo Caetano)

PUBLIC SERVICE: Deny them their oxygen.

«I could write an enormous post on terror, but I'm not going to. It seems that these days we all have our opinions set in concrete on these matters...despise or empathise? I know that political correctness is doing an awful lot to maintain terror. Because of political correctness hate-filled men (hateful of "the West", yet living in it, using its modernity) call each other to arms in the streets of British cities and no-one can raise a voice against them... and this is at the same time as Gurkhas (the division of the British army consisting of Nepalese men, regarded as some of the most skilled men in the world) who have fought and laid their lives on the line for Britain are refused right to live in that country.
So I shall stick to my flippant frippery of a blog and life and pretend that we still live in a beautiful world and I shall ignore the terrorists, as we all should do, like we always used to, deny them their publicity, deny them their oxygen, deny them their "fun".»
[this and much more at Miss Vitriolica Webb's Ite]
