Read through my post thrice and I can't find anything - I feel stupid! Edit: Doh, nevermind! In my defence, it was just a typo, I was thinking of the whole verb, not about the metal type!  (if you're talking about lead, that is...) Editedit: Oh and Dave, absolutely agree with you there. [img]smile.gif[/img] Hadn't considered it that way yet...

No offense, but even if there are bits of 'sanity' among the rest, this sort of things usually just annoys me. Simplistic covers it, I guess, but also there's the nagging feeling that in an attempt to prove a point, people who use such methods of delivery are also trying for the 'my side is so very innocent' look and it wears thin after a while as in politics I've rarely seen one side be blameless in anything.
Besides, I could swear I saw something similar on the net a few months ago only it was a 'bedtime story' or somesuch...kinda trite, IMO.

Very funny! Reminds me of the old bible saying about the virtue of seeing the world through the eyes of a child.

 If a REAL child had said all that, I'd be surprised, but also impressed.

[img]smile.gif[/img] For an adult to try to see things in a innocent, child-like manner takes a stretch of the imagination and an openess to to percieve things differently. This becomes more challenging as a person ages and the more entrenched one becomes in opinion and belief.

[/QUOTE][img]smile.gif[/img] Well, as I said, I see this piece as contrived and lacking that 'innocence'. It 'feels' too much like a set up to arrive at the 'necessary' conclusions on the whole, that's all. [img]smile.gif[/img] LOL, I'm critiquing the style and attempted 'effect' it appears to be meant to confer on readers.
