Kerala?s cusine is characterised by the use of ingredients extensively grown on its fertile lands along the coconut- fringed beaches, around the back waters and on the slopes of the Western Ghats. The back waters and the rivers feed the fertile lands where rice is grown in abundance. Aarboiled rice is the staple food of the Malayalees. Being a rice growing region, keralites are known to prepare varieties with rice flour and beaten rice. Tapioca a rood rich in carbohydrate, is another speciality of Kerala.

LAWS OF MAGNETIC ACTION.

Or rather no culture and low civilization. Narcissism. Rudeness. Low standards. No responsibility. The ethos of pop culture is the anti-thesis of civilisational progress. Aided by the media, the educational system, the post-modern political elite, the West has developed 3 generations of perpetual adolescents, smug in ignorance, glorying in irrelevance. Anyone who knows more about the travails Britney Spears than the development of Greco-Romano civilization supports that obvious observation.

A leading Fire Safety expert has recently queried the soundness of statutory fire safety regulations. Lack of enforcement of Fire Safety regulations exposes the consumer to the consequences of outbreaks of fire in domestic and other buildings in this country.

In a competitive market Hollywood as an industry would fail. Hollywood is an oligopolistic industry that has excessive power and little restraint. In general Hollywood provides bad product, repetitive models, less than exhilarating and uplifting personalities, and a culture that is extremist in its anti-Western, anti-capitalist and anti-Republican posture. In a normally functioning and competitive market, Hollywood would be dead-wood. But sadly in its oligopolistic position it just accretes more power. Its impact is devastating.

As welfare demands, reforms and expectations have grown so too has government?s ability to recast political ideology and terms in its own self interested favour. Especially poignant has been government?s reordering of economic, moral and spatial values in the left vs. right terminology. Government reform of its economic philosophy to become more liberal and egalitarian has also instigated a redefinition of socialism?s attitude towards its own populist configuration.

The 20th century?s most universally respected Islamic scholar is Dr. Arthur Jeffery. He headed the Department of Middle East Languages at Columbia University and taught linguistics at the School of Oriental Studies in Cairo. He wrote: "The briefest investigation suffices to reveal that the problem of Islamic sources is relatively simple, for most volumes represent little more than the working over (with fabulous and irrelevant additions and modifications) of perhaps half a handful Arabic texts of primary importance.?

Imagine that you have traveled to another location to attend to personal affairs. You step off a train in some locale, take your bags and proceed to your destination. You walk a few paces to find some transport. Then the reality of ideological contamination assaults you.

Freedom is a Western concept. Freedom of expression, association, economic choice, and freedom from arbitrary rule and violence is essential. Part of the greatness of civilization is the containment of uncivilized behavior and instincts. Culture, guilt, shame, quality, expectations ? all these and more play decisive roles in shaping behavior. Natural law, which few discuss and fewer know about, is a key basis for Western civilization. Yet the media; the elite; the educational experts [an ironic oxymoron there]; and even the church and most parents have no idea what this important concept means. Hence the rise of everything from gay sex in public, to Britney Spears kissing Madonna on stage, to the decline of real ?Conservatism? in public affairs. Ignoring natural law and high standards leads to social degeneration.
