I just wonder, Paul, is how intelligent people can think/behave/speak so irrationally and obtusely. (Example: Your PM). True intelligence, I think, is self-awareness ... understanding what you don't know ... realizing you may be wrong, or acknowledging you may have a narrow point of view. I try to. I've "stepped on rakes" my whole life. Maybe I should just admit there are a lot of yings to my yang.
Lots of crazy out there, Jim! But that’s the spice of life...

As always Jim, spot on albeit tragically sad! As Forest Gump once said, stupid is as stupid does...
As we say in these parts, the fish rots from the head. If kings and presidents can get away with it, why shouldn't peasants try, too?
