Grace's Blog: A SENSE OF BELONGING. Monday, 29 September 2014. Emotion and trivia versus facts and constructive criticism. Emotion and trivia can contribute to:. 1 heightened blood pressure. 2 remaining in a static position. Could this be the reason why the glass clinkers, and the old guys and gals network cannot get any momentum, so the only thing to do is to blame everybody else for the social and economic conditions? It appears the message is hard to understand. Old habits die hard. If we are to share...

Grace's Blog: A SENSE OF BELONGING. Tuesday, 10 March 2015. Engagement according to the past, or in today's world? I listened to a call-in programme in the Caribbean on which there was a panel discussion about the response, and accountability, of government to the people.

Why am I going down this road? Add to your thinking, RESPECT.

In July 2012 John Terry (Professional footballer) was acquitted in a British court of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand (Professional footballer). Read judgement. ( See BBC News - John Terry cleared of racism against Anton Ferdinand, Friday 13 July 2012). As far as I am concerned, this case should never have been brought to court. That's the first thing.
