This might seem like a strange title, but it is just an observastion really. And it is an observation of when when judges or people in authority dish out a harsh punishment to for a crime or wrong doing, and they say they are doing it “to make an example” of the person.

Making an Example of What?
Heightism
I was originally going to write this post about the airline industry is heightist, meaning that for people like me that are tall, airlines, especially low budget airlines are a pain to use. Which was very evident when I went to Amsterdam last month and felt like a sardine in a can in my own [...]

I originally wrote this post about one and a half years ago. But I feel that I am in a better position to write this again. Seeing as 1. I no longer live in London, 2. I have had a long time to think about it, and 3. I [...]

I am Philly Mac
I am Philly(lip) Mac(Iver).
This blog is my forum, my Hydepark corner, my soapbox, my sounding board.
I tell it how it is and how I is.
Let me tell you what I aint. I am not the kind of person that will laugh at an unfunny joke just to brown nose. I am not the one that [...]
