Aint it true
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.

Interesting quote Ron.
Perhaps as the children grew up they had the courage to expose the Emperor for what he really was, a fraud. Ash

The Emperor is the Emperor, and a half-wit is such, but, Children grow up, and seize the oppertunities that have unravelled over time in their minds, thus, becoming what they had seen, and advancing on it.
But, where does that leave the Half-wit? Thanks, Mac |

An interesting thing about the electronic media: It could be said that it has become the out-house walls of an advanced culture in serious decline.

Until this post defines itself as having a core subject it seems to be an invite to post the irrelevant, inane, vapid, pedantic and vague.

Could be true. It has been said many times before there is a delete button on your computer. You only have to read the things that you want to. Not responding to the things you find useless will take less effort. |

But then it becomes an issue of being able to determine if what you are reading is worthy of participation or deletion. So far the jury seems to be out on this one.
