The Thursday Thought
Unfortunately, as I keep disappearing from my house and spending more time in Bolton than at home, the Thursday Thought has been suspended for this week only. But here's something to muse over.
What was finally decided at the G8 Summit in Gleneagles? No, really?

yeah that one is a mystery....but maybe it's only a mistery for me? I have hardly been getting any news here kind of enjoying a totaly, naivly ignorant state where everything is roses and peaches. Would someone pleas be so kind as to give me a short sumery of what's going on and what has been going on in the world for thepast few weeks? ...or if you're to lazzy to do that (I probably would be) than to answer paul's q?

I think that the majority of us have come to expect that these 8 leaders who claim to represent the entire population of the world are incompetent in solving any world issue or any global problem for the good of mankind, but in most cases it seems the convenience and sustained wealth of the richer nations must take priority. It's a good thought actually and I'm sure we would know more if the meetings weren't disturbed by recent terror events. It is still unacceptable to leave it without letting the public know where they stand.

Me thinks, Scott, that you've jumped to a conclusion there.
These people are elected, all of them, so they are supposed to represent their respective populations. The electoral systems may be at severe fault - case to point, Great Britain - but nevertheless when they arrive at G8 they are elected, and so do indeed represent their people.
Add to this that the G8 may the the richest, but the older nations that can afford to get involved in such discussions about the fate of the world. Both India and China have been present at these meetings also, on account of their growing economies, but as of yet have no real seat. Hey, at least Russia's on the board now, but that took some time.
And, they probably have let their stance be known to the public in press conferences after the summit. The snag is that the press and newspapers, especially here, were concentrating on the London bombings rather than anything else, so stealing the spotlight, but the news was pobably there, just not in the detail oit would have been in had the bombings not taken place.
Good to hear your thoughts though.
