... is there a lesson to be learned ?
The London Olympic was a success from its stunning opening ceremony to the end game party last night, some have described it as the most successful exhibition of sporting excellence of all time, for myself its success lay in the projection of inclusive stakeholder participation by all; athletes, audience and organisers, that's not to say everything was perfect, but as Sebastian Coe said at the closing ceremony ...
It is the change that is causing concern ....
The most damming condemnation ...
As a small country Great Britain came third in the medal tally for this Olympic Games, the success must in a great part be attributed to the way the peoples funded the athletes in the years prior to the games, as Samantha Murray said after winning the silver medal in the very last event, modern pentathlon, "If I can do it, and I'm a normal girl, anyone can do what they want to do."
Shrink government at the expense of the little people of this world and it is a poorer, brutal existence, not civilisation........

In the USA, the appointment of Paul Ryan by Mitt Romney as his Presidential running mate, sends a very clear message to the population that "things, they will be changing !"... when it came to our turn, we did it right !
It is the change that is causing concern ....
The most damming condemnation ...
Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity" is long on words, with a very simple underlying message, government must shrink! The full document can be found here, it runs to 99 detailed pages, it might have added a page to explain why Sister Simone Campbell's "people at the economic margins" are not considered as stakeholders in the great nation that is the USA.Network, a Catholic social justice lobby group, which organised a six-state "nuns on the bus" tour last month, damned Mr Ryan's proposals as "immoral".
Sister Simone Campbell, Network's executive director, said: "His budget deliberately harms people at the economic margins. It is also unpatriotic because it says that we are an individualistic, selfish nation."
