Kilgore Trout - agreed

"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane"

and so it goes....

;-)

cheers for the spelling tip!

i am glad you have not picked out any others, there would be a few.

I need a touch more melancholy in me i think, i forget people are particular about those sorts of things when i am busily thrashing the keyboard.

I blame microsoft making us lazy.

I will try harder to not write so fast next time, and correct my mistakes for you!

Thanks Boss.

Do we treat the cause or the symptoms of decay?

Asiatimes geo-political journalist 'Spengler' has the ring of truth that you won't mistake.

For a sense of proportion - a must.

Realist,
We all make mistakes if we are human, and we can all understand a post misspelt or not. This is On Line Opinion, not a bloody spelling bee. So please don't write slower, those "perfectionists" in this place will have to get used to reality.

None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes, all we can do is try our hardest, and see what happens, in the heat of disscussion, when emotive posts tent to upset some of us, we misspell as we try to get a response on the board quickly.

In the end it it the "opinion" not the spelling most of us look to, to agree or disagree, I have disagreed with Realist many times, but still defend his/her right to post, as strongly as I would defend my own.

So those obsessed with spelling and grammar, please do not inflict your obsessions on the rest of us, thank you.

Regards,Shaun
