Goodness, its been a while since we 've heard from Rebecca.

I hope that she is still OK.

Aww, David, thanks for your concern. I'm fine. I went to visit a friend in Basingstoke which can be a little bit of a rough, old town, but made it there and back safe and sound.
According to my friend, who could be considered fairly poor, and at one point was homeless and indigent, there was a small attempt at rioting at the Toys R Us in Popley (which is a section of Basingstoke) but nothing came of it.
I asked him what he thinks about the whole thing and he called it an 'opportunistic greed-fest'.
We had some long discussions about it, and when I tried to talk about benefit cuts and dissatisfaction and lack of jobs for young people, he said that from what he observes in the circles in which he travels - which are decidedly NOT middle class and posh (except for me - ha, ha, that's a joke - I'm middle class but NOT posh) a lot of the people he runs into wouldn't do the jobs if there were jobs to do - so there are his two cents.
And I tend to believe him - he's an insider- right there getting the inside scoop from the 'unwashed masses' (as he called them).

In other words, they say stuff to him that they would never say to an outsider like me -American, educated, liberal-minded do-gooder that I am seen to be.

While I was there, went to a pub on a housing estate where there's this little tiny Thai lady who makes Thai meals for £4.00, and you can play pool.

There was this guy we played pool with there, and he'd ridden his bike there but had had a little too much to drink. We didn't want him riding his bike home drunk, so as we'd parked my car in a friend's yard and walked the rest of the way and this guy couldn't even walk far enough to get back to my car for me to drive him home (I hadn't been drinking), I said, 'Wait here - I'll go get the car and come back and pick you up and we'll drive you home', but I got lost on my way to the car because I went out the front entrance of the pub, forgetting that we'd walked in through the back garden and I ended up on a different street in a stange town
So I'm walking through a housing estate at 12:30 am and this young man in a hoodie walks by and I think, 'Oh ****...should I ask, or should I just put my head down and try to make it home alive and intact,' but I decided not to keep wandering in the wilderness and asked, 'Can you tell me how to get to Eastfield Avenue?' and the guy walks me there...nice and polite as can be.
But when I get back, I see the drunk guy taking off on his bike, having grown tired of waiting for me to get back. Anyway, my friend had gotten his number and called him last night and long and short of it, he fell off his bike, hit his head and lay there unconscious until four in the morning when he woke up to find himself okay and alive, but his bike gone.

My point is - I never make generalizations. I was lucky enough to run into a good person -t he drunk bike rider wasn't. But both of these people- the one who stole (the man's bike) and the one who could have stolen (my purse) and didn't, probably lived on this estate and experienced similar life circumstances.

And I think it was spendius who said that people followed morals and the law out of fear. I disagree because to my mind morals are not about fear - they're what an individual believes is an acceptable standard of behavior for him or herself.

One last thing - I'm not going to go back and find it, but you said that you were glad you never had any 'weeping, naked men on your conscience.'
That was my laugh of the day - I think you should make that your signature- except that honestly - given what you did for a living - you very well could have a few weeping, naked men on your conscience- ha, ha, ha - get it?
But then a lot of women (and gay men) probably do too - when you come right down to it.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Sorry - the last post I made was in response to what David wrote - but Osso was the last to respond at the time I started my post and I clicked on her post by mistake.

I wish you Americans would not post so much overnight.

And, can anyone think of a thread which has been improved by the participation of OmSigDavid?

Didn't think so.

I think that father in Birmingham will get a CBE or other public recognition.
He deserves it, too.

And seemingly, the guys in the speeding car which killed his son and two others had been looting.

@izzythepush,
You'd be surprised (or perhaps you wouldn't) at how crass the OMSigDavid person can be. He might have mental issues or he might just be an exceptionally extreme example of a narcissistic troll. I don't know. Many people use web forums the way, in my youth, people used the walls of the cubicles in public conveniences - to spew out, without the risk of getting a punch in the mouth, all the idiotic, crazy, malicious, spiteful or perverted rubbish that infests their minds and which they feel they have a "right" to express.

Without looking back, Rebecca, I think I gave five examples of moral breakdown where the fear of being caught and shamed was not thought a serious consideration. And from across the class spectrum.

Indignation from that lot powering a witch-hunt and kangaroo courts is pathetic. And much more dangerous than the looting and hysteria which naturally exhausts itself.

I remember a cab driver I had in New Orleans
who was a Moslem with blue eyes n blond hair.
I cared not about any Moslems before 9/11/1.
Thay got our attention.
Thay were good at that.

I support libertarianism,
weak government, strangled in its domestic jurisdiction, and Individualism.
U probably don 't know it, but those values were antithetical
to those of the National Socialists, to the international socialists (commies)
and to any other socialists.

I guess u think Hitler was a LIBERTARIAN, right, izzy??

Sadly, b4 I retired,
I was as guilty as u r in preserving the defective old spelling paradime.
I corrected my secretaries' stenografy, with red ink when presented for signature.

I have repented of my evil
and now I seek to atone to logic in an effort to lead by example.

@OmSigDAVID,
i have no desire to watch the video, i do what i feel is right depending on the situation, what ever the situation might be

as much as i have absolutely no faith (or admiration) in those who run the system, i do have faith in the system, i've had a few experiences with the law, both guilty and not, and each time the result was satisfactory, reprimanded when guilty, exonerated when not
