Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Everyone is making it up as they go along. Sometimes they get it wright and sometimes they get it wrong. The problem with those in power is that everyone expects them to get it right all the time and when they get it wrong there are much bogger consequences. <BR/><BR/>You can never assume that just because people are in power that they know what they're doing or that they give a shit about anyone else.Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1154814925903287162006-08-05T22:55:00.000+01:002006-08-05T22:55:00.000+01:00hi Kim,with you on the post,war an all.
