Persevere.<br /><br />You quote Ben Franklin a lot, which is curious for a Brit. Well this Yank says maybe reread some of the more seminal works of the Enlightenment.<br /><br />Liberty is never guaranteed. It disgusts me the cavalier way my fellow Americans bandy terms like "liberty," freedom," and the like about (like we Americans of the 21st century are somehow experts on these concepts and didn't have them handed to us on a silver platter), but I would not expect such from you.<br /><br />While I am a fan of the Polity, it does bother me that they seem to have the American Second Amendment on steroids. No polity (lower case) built on weaponization can be described as a "Utopia."<br /><br />Anyway, cheers.<br /><br />Jessie Grey<br /><br />Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968568446963992299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-12363641640371092082021-01-11T17:07:26.400+00:002021-01-11T17:07:26.400+00:00As a seventy year old who walks, kayaks and does w...As a seventy year old who walks, kayaks and does weight work, I couldn't agree with you more about the "men of a certain age" critics. It doesn't take gargantuan effort to stave off the pot belly, just a modicum of restraint in one's diet and some regular exerise.Nick Melehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836478929563636221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-3824180875195562132021-01-11T16:53:41.617+00:002021-01-11T16:53:41.617+00:00Agree with you on a lot of things, but Y2K was goi...Agree with you on a lot of things, but Y2K was going to crash lots of vital systems, but with a lot of work and repeated testing, we avoided it (I spent a couple of years on it, working for a retail company).<br /><br />It didn’t grow wrong because the issues were recognised and fixed, not because Y2K wasn’t real.Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454476717935557647noreply@blogger.com
