THE English playwright John  Webster, in ‘The Duchess of Malfi’, was the one who said “Ambition… is a great man’s madness” -impliedly suggesting that the urge to achieve is more the affliction of those who already have achieved, than it is the malady of commoners who should have every reason to want to achieve. If ‘ambition’ is more to the ‘great man’ than it is to the ‘commoner’, the question then arises, ‘why should ‘greatness’ allow itself to be troubled by the wearisome aspiration to be even greater?

Osun is an ill-foreboding metaphor for our democracy, but what can we do?

Since the ‘law’ needs not advance the ‘common good’ to be legitimate, an elected President needs not legitimize his actions to improve that ‘common good’

The debate about whether or not ‘national security’ should be superior to the ‘rule of law’ is a needless one

The ‘rule of law’ often constitutes itself into a bitch, but that man also has no inhibition, whenever necessary, to treat the ‘rule of law’ as such –if that is all that it takes to overcome its bitchy side.
