I find Laboutine's far more comfortable, AND they make me look taller.

Quite exciting it was. I even spoke to those darker chappies.

Indians I think they're called. Curious breed. Insisted on speaking with a funny accent. They're a lot like scousers in many ways.

I feel I have made contact with the natives.

Excessive speculation can lead to a bit of flacidity in the market

In my view Atheism shouldn't become a crusade against religions but a means for people to live their lives in happiness, free at last from the shackles of ancient scriptures that ask them to perform immoral acts. Most of all though it should be used as a platform to allow people to explore the beauty of our world free to attempt to cessate our endless human curiosity. To explore the love, happiness and companionship we can bring to each other without religious restraint.

I believe over time people will be drawn more and more to this, that they too will want to live their lives without those shackles. It has to be their choice however as no one can ever truely excercise their own judgement through persuasion. Often the shackles they wish to escape will restrain them from living as they would wish, but, truely the place where we all gain the seed of freedom is our minds.

To look back on all of history's wars, it's massacres as a waste of human life isn't a crime or a weakness. Ultimatly the renewed freedom and independance people will gain should bring peace and prosperity. From experience it seems we are habitually a moral people with much in common including our dreams, aspirations, desires etc. The differences that seperate us are much smaller than the commonalities that bind us .

Anyway I've talked too much for now, another drink please .
Ultimately all humans can be split into two camps can't they?...

Those who want to be told what to do and think and those who want no such thing.

I'm not convince the former really exist in a "natural" state.
