Nope I can't stand politics, war and all the fat cats in charge of the world.
I only like artists, and writers are artists too.

Well I never usually watch the news at all because of what it does to me as I have said before, but this last couple of weeks I have for certain reasons.Of course now I am stressed, not just because of the main events but because all of the stories. So now my nurse says that I have high blood pressure and I have to go back to the doctors in a few weeks to be tested again! Naturally though I am fighting back by attending classical music concerts and reading Jeeves and Wooster on regular occasions, but let that be a warning for avoiding the news at all costs, tut, tut.
Be smart, don't watch the news.

Researchers said most children lied Toddlers who tell lies early on are more likely to do well later, researchers claim.
The complex brain processes involved in formulating a lie are an indicator of a child's early intelligence, they add.
A Canadian study of 1,200 children aged two to 17 suggests those who are able to lie have reached an important developmental stage.
Only a fifth of two-year-olds tested in the study were able to lie.
But at age four, 90% were capable of lying, the study found. The rate increases with age to a peak at age 12.

Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."
