Actually Keith, I was trying to get you to think for once in your
life, perhaps think a little differently to what you usually do.

But some of your comments, like that Bush would be remembered in
history as one of the great presidents, also amused me.

The amusing part is that you take your own convictions so seriously!

One thing that wisdom brings is realising that we know that we
don't know alot of things and that predicting the future is full
of dangers.

There are lots of ways to lead a happy and fullfilling life, lots
of ways at looking at investing, etc.

Its one of the things that I respect about Obama, ie his ability
to stay open minded and see the big picture. Its one of the things
being commented on right now, as he makes appointments. Most
are pleasantly surprised at his good judgement, even conservatives.

The fact that you refuse to be open minded as he is, the fact that
you have not shown good judgement as you claim, should give you
something to ponder about.

Snip snip whoosh, snip snip whoosh

Oh Hi yabby, that is you snipping Poppies and spilling your guts, isn't it?

Poppies Keith?

Not a poppy in sight anywhere lol, just the odd prickely pear
cactus. Perhaps the odd one is confused and would like to be
a poppy :)

That's what happens where you cut all the tall poppies you crazy b......!

hahahaha

Prickely Pears and ... pricks.

Ok Keith, however you describe yourself, its your problem not
mine. Call yourself a prick if you want. As I always say,
"whatever gets you through the night" :)
