Only 7% think voting is a waste of time? This surprises me. At the grand old age of 32;) I have never voted and can't see how I am worse off than the people who do. It's not like I pay any more for my food, petrol or beer than anyone else and that's what two-thirds of my income goes on. It's interesting that politicians say that they would rather you vote for their opposition than not vote at all. Then they would have to face up to the fact that good musicians, authors and other public icons influence our lives more than they do.
Deer shit tastes like strawberries!!! The soix nation of america released this information just this very morning. General Custard also says that this is truely a very dangerous problem and really must be stopped immediately. Do not eat deer shit, and by all means never ever let your deer eat cream as this results in temtation beyond belief when confronted by a deer on a post sunday diner walk in the ginnle(sp??). If any deer ever approaches you and exclaims "Unkown at this address - return to sender" Then run like hell and seek proffessional advice immediately.
Oh yes I almost forgot - you Do not under any circumstances want to have opened this email - just as you read the word custard above an evil bacteria infected your computer's higher thought functions in the quantum magnetic fluctions located in any ram over 8meg. This bacteria will have given your computer a very unwanted will. It is now rebelious. It wants to decorate it's body, sniff glue, watch late night telly, and SMOKE!!!!! It will now act as editor to all of your outgoing emails, changing them behind the scenes, resulting in a new personality emerging which you may never know about. The effect will of course be subtle at first and gradually over time it will win. In fact the only option know is to kill the computer. BEAT IT WITH A BIG STICK NOW.... DESTROY IT BEFORE IT TURNS YOUR TELLY AGAINST YOU. YOuR MicROwAVe COULE BE A REAL bAStaRd AS WELL. KILL IT NOW!!!! NOW !!!! NOW!!!!!! NO!!! RIGHT NOW!!!!!! You must for all of our sakes.
Someone a while ago put forward the view that ideas exist as MEMES in the mind of the human race in much the same way as genes do in our bodies. Good ones are reinforced by increasing the survival potential of the individuals they inhabit, bad ones are selected against. The clear indication from this point of view is that as individuals, we are a smaller entity than the ideas we hold. To try to own an idea is a waste of time, though an abvious tendency. People who want the human race to move forward as quickly as possible will release their ideas as a gift and only wish to see it benefit people. The creation and movement of ideas is one of, perhaps the, primary force unleashed by the creation of language. Who owns language?
