I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania).

The cost is a bit high @ $800 per person double occupancy per day but I didn’t find that offensive. What I found encouraging and enlightened is that the cruise is encouraging people to bring their ‘High powered weapons’ along on the cruise. If you don’t have your own weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon as well as optional marksmanship training.

The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 days). All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package;

If you say that people hurt people you would be correct. I could hurt somebody with a knife then too right? I can hurt someone with crapitalism right?

So what is the problem? We try not to put guns in the hands of dangerous individuals, and we would like to do the same with knives. But we don’t limit these things to all people.

Why republicans want to put the dangerous weapon of crapitalism in the hands of only a few individuals we know to be dangerous perplexes me. Businesses that start and grow their business here (the only place they can) and then move overseas to exploit cheap labor. Confusing and abstracting ‘financial instruments’ beyond comprehension, then piecing them out and losing track of them. Deifying the Born-into-wealth Almighty Entrepreneur™ at all costs and having blind faith in unfettered laissiez faire ‘markets’. Concentrating wealth and resources of planet earth (and thus, political power). These are all EXTREMELY DANGEROUS uses of crapitalism. Yet republicans not only can’t see this, but actually think they are *good* uses of it.

In the heat of recession – the world is a fast paced place, and change is coming thick and fast. If you want your child to be able weather storms and stand on their own two feet in this competitive and dynamic world – you need to ensure they have Leadership skills.

Looking back at when we were children, it’s easy to remember who were the ‘leaders’ and who were the ‘followers’ in school. Its safe to say that only a tiny percentage led, and the rest gladly followed. These ‘leaders’ may have had flocks of sheep behind them, but they were not any happier than the average schoolchild, and nor did they achieve any greater success.
