Determinism is the idea that people’s lives are already preset and unchangeable before they are born.

Filipino “journalist” Frenchie Mae Cumpio was recently handed a guilty verdict by a Philippine court on charges of terrorist financing. As expected, a who’s-who of communist sympathisers and “press freedom groups” are now up in arms over the outcome crying bloody “travesty of justice”.
