Buy a dictionary.

Ouch!!
Spilleng is over rtaed and proevon to be unneccesary in mnay cases. In fact, it has been proevon that so lnog as the frist and last ltteres of many words is cerroct, the human brain is capable of filling in the gpas.

In fact, incorrect spilleng is also an effective marketing tool as msot people can't help themselves when it cmoes to something benig seplt wonrg.

At least I got 'Ouch' splet rhgit hey!

MAXI:

I appreciate, and assume others also, your latter more thoughtful posts. And not to flog a dead horse, but my opening post did include the following:

" ... Finally, this tech ought be considered a compliment, and not a replacement for conventional therapy. ... "

..

ALL:

On a slight tangent, we have "soldiers of Conscience" coming up in the next few days on Australian Network Channel.

..

As for the representative troll, I can't help but wonder if he's the sort to knowingly leave a vet in a hole in the jungle of Vietnam for political reasons?

..

Countries stand or fall at times on the strength of those who militarily fight to defend them as do guvments.

..

My view, is that whether it be loss of legs from red chinese rockets or red chinese road side bombs

(!CRIKEY! did you all see the footage from the ozzie afghan car cam of a r.s. bomb going off? It was like a huge wave of asphalt rising up?)

, mental illness or otherwise, those who put their lives on the line in defence of the collective ought be taken care of and taken care of well and if that means currently Robin Hood taxes and a clipping of the wages of those who can afford it, so be it.

..

When it comes down to it, who would you rather see benefit from your hard earned taxes? Some self interested, money grubbing politician, lawyer or banker,

or the rough diamond digger who'd die in your (hopefully honourable) defence?

..

Think well how to caste your votes dear people, and give a thought to what your real values are?

I again suggest that these people who run about even sparing a thought and some energy also even for fire and smoked out critters, will also care for you.

OH,a bit more re:Afghanistan. We have had on Al Jazheera recently some of the most senior military political figures from n.america. If I did not misunderstand, they unanimously insisted that the only reason that they will lose, if it comes to it, is because the politicians are constraining them in terms of tactics, targets and choice of weapon.

I put it to you, if we have air superiority and superior intelligence collection facilities, how is that masses of foreign arms are making it to those who drove out the Red Ruskies?

Hmmm?

Thus, if our troops are being asked to fight with one hand tied behind their backs then really, notwithstanding its good for the business of some, will produce vet fighters, trial existing tech and develope more of the same,

should we really be asking this of them, only to throw them on the scrap heap once they return?

Too many borders, too many mountains, too many trails, too many little groups of donkeys, innocent ones among the smugglers. I suspect you haven't given enough credence to history and geography.
You'd have to remove the entire population and then kill everything that moved, have thousands of planes in the air at any one time, 24/7, or you'd fail.
The recent Four Corners program covered the subject of this thread very well, if you haven't seen it, I recommend you do.

The Rusians failed so why an earth would anyone try to go there anyway.

As I have always said, if you can take thier picture you can shoot them. They should have sent a crack team of highly paid mercinaries in to wipe out Bin lardin and Saddam then perhaps we, the world, would be in better shape finnacially.

You can't waste trillons on war then not expect to pay the financial cost, let along the human cost.

Typical yanks!
