If you want to write opinion pieces you might actually attempt to understand the subject you are talking about rather than reiterate the facile opinions of others who are just as ignorant as yourself. I wonder, if the Dame was going under the knife or getting on an aircraft she would be happy for a lawyer or political scientist to take control? <br /><br />A bit of light reading about climate change denial - but relevant to the general fear of change that afflicts the reptiles.

I can only quote a certain historical view: "<i>I am made all things to all men</i>..."*<br /><br />And she's truly delighted for all of them to grab hers ... I wonder if Bret took his go ?GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
