In all that my comments said regarding your post, never was there an attack on you personally, just your lack of awareness to those in need, those who are less fortunate.....yet your response to my concerns for those who are down and out, those who don't have the funds to support their daughters to take trips to far off countries, those who struggle in every day...every day life...your response to my concerns over bigotry and disrespect to those in need IS to attack my intrigrtiy. Your explanation has to your post as pointing out Internet trash is indeed propagating internet mistruths. Hard to believe that your original post was one of concern for down and out people on this earth....yes, you are correct when you quote "What goes around, comes around". As long as people post articles as you did, there will continue to be a divide, a misunderstanding as to hunger, homelessness and yes, people who take advantage of the system. And people who profess an almighty attitude.

A very well known proverb, "He who does not recognise satire, should not throw stones, or live in, or near, a greehouse". How very true and wise. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Recognize satire? bull....how about this: "Sorry, it was only a joke, don't you see"? Satire, true intellectual satire rests with those who are truly intellectuals.

Graham my dear friend, knowing you as well and dearly as she who must be obeyed and I do, want you to know that there is a total breed of yanks that have foot in mouth disease. Our best to you, your bride and Brynee. By the way, SHE wants to know if the pig's name is Babe.

Fortunately, that breed is dying. They like to be known as "Liberals"- not the same ilk as the UK's, but more like the old Soviet commies. They don't understand that communism doesn't work with the human spirit, which is why the USSR collapsed and died.

My Texan friend, thanks for looking and comments. Tell your lovely lady that she is spot on with the piglet's name, it is indeed "Babe". Both of you, enjoy the rest of your Christmas Holiday

I laugh so much to hear of the same mouse we discussed in the same way while in country school, and dreading the cold and snow to defeat, on the way to and from the half moon.

I think your shorts may be in a knot. Relax a bit, have a martini maybe, believe me when I say you will not solve all the worlds problems as evidenced by the millions who have historically tried and failed. For I am long in tooth and have tried myself as well. My Dr advised as I have passed on to you and life has treated me well since.

Bechu they don't drink warm beer in that latitude. If yer any where near Detroit, take a drive over to Chatham, Ontario. I used to go there on my way regularly driving from Chicago to our plant in NY and would go out of my way to cross the boarder, and have Fish'N Chips in Chatham. Then drive on thru to (my birth place), Hamilton, crossing over in to the States thru Niagara Falls/ Buffalo.

I'm trying to train them. Some of those Michigan Micro pale ales are too hoppy to drink ice-cold. A bit warmer, a lot maltier. I know Chatham, lived in Oakville, so I know your birthplace, too. Did you ever get to see Hamilton's restored Lancaster Bomber?

Not in the flesh. However I followed her while she was in the UK with "Just Jane". When I was a kid, in grade school, the RCAF had a training school at the airport using T6-Texans. They would fly over adjusting the prop's pitch and we'd think they were going to crash. Then they got a squadron of Mosquitoes. Those suckers would do loud, low passes frequently. As I write this the King St Cenetaph is large in my memory. Not bad for nearly 80???
