Tom: Perhaps point 3 annexed point 4 and is looking next to annex point 5...
damn you Christina, what have you done!

To Pete,

Re: Subtlety

Perhaps I could have been slightly more crystal myself for I too had agreed with you that pt4 was a little anorexic in context. Hey, maybe that's how WW2 started.

tom: my subtlety of humour is sometimes too subtle...or too humourless, one of those (i noticed there was no point 4)

Point 4?? What point 4? All i see is pt3 - littering and pt5 - harassment. Maybe if I learn to read between the lines...

Great story. I find me going back to simpler memories of less urgent times. Youth and all. I keep telling myself, "yeah this is a crisis but I didn' make it." And I can pull out experiences of a before, that allows me to see the idiocy of today and judge it,but still keep on moving through it, doing what I have to to survive. I know I didn't create this fiasco, and I know time will clean it up.

Except for point number 4, that's a load

Sometimes you are quite likeable Christina

I agree with most of those sentiments - Bill's stories often put things in perspective or act as metaphors for larger ideas.

Ps- I might also like to add to that person that nobody is taking their eyeballs hostage and forcing them accross the page. If they don't want to read a particular article, they should try the very latest scientific innovation of "skipping it"

Hey, we love hearing about your family! Without emotion in our lives, we'd just be robots. Don't listen to that person who said that, some people have got nothing better to do with their time than whinge. In the shop where I work at, the customers are like that person- they whinge all day about everything- about the government, the footbaal, the weather, they even whinge about Kylie Minogue. Talk about losers. Now if they spent their time being useful, and thankful, instead of whinging, they would see how lucky they are. We are so very lucky to have you to help us and to tell us what is going on in the world. People in other poor countries would love to have such a privelege, but instead of saying thanks, that person whinges instead. I bet that same person also 1) blames the government cause they are broke, 2)puts everone they know down and acts like a expert on everything, 3)leaves mess all over the floor in shops and expects some one else to clean it up and 5)bosses waiters and waitresses around in resaturants. I say to them "Get a life whinger"
Ps- Mr Editor- you should be a foster parent to a disadvantaged kid on the weekends, you'd be great at that!

Don't ever stop writing about your family Bill. If we only wanted finance and economics we would go to Bloombergs.
