Good point GG. ElM really should apologize for letting that nasty animal roam free when it was "his" stream. Apologies are meaningless unless the person apologizing figures it out themselves and realizes they have done wrong and ingratiatingly seeks redemption. I have had cause to apologize many times. Wading through the jungle of ignorance in our heads, it's impossible to do much and not have cause to apologize. Even with the huge growth of our brains since chimpoid times we blunder constantly despite trying not to. It's currently fashionable for politicians and others to apologize for things that have nothing to do with them. Such as apologizing to Amerindians for wrongs done 150 years ago. Nobody alive now did anything to those people, none of whom are alive now. Barack apologizing to some half-pie descendant means nothing. It would be as silly as Barack apologizing to Michelle for what his ancestors didn't do to her ancestors. Of course, if they can use the apology as an excuse to move money from the taxpayers to the "victim" then the apology makes sense = another way to rob people to give to the undeserving. Many people have had property confiscated by governments. It's still happening. I'd like an apology from Barack and Helen Clark and John Key for taking money from me by force. They don't do that though. In fact, they are coming up with ways to increase the amount of money they take from me. Their apologies lack sincerity, even if they were apologies they can reasonably make on behalf of other long dead people to long dead people. Box can't reasonably apologize because a snake can't apologize for being a snake. Only sentient beings can apologize when they realize they did wrong. Mqurice
