Thanks Kumar. I guess we are nearing critical mass. <the idea of a New UN may happen sooner rather than later. check this out :
news.bbc.co.uk;

What's annoying is that I know that as soon as it gets going, I'm going to be a leading opponent of the NUN because ambitious busy-body bossy britches will we all over it like a rash, wanting a piece of the action and a corner of the bureaucracy to puff up and featherbed and suffocate people and tax them extorquerationately.

Maybe it's time to start gearing up in opposition. Once the NUN gets rolling, it'll be all the rage and some ignorant newbie kid will be lecturing me about how my attitude is all wrong and the NUN is great. Just as I was recycling and wearing seat belts and crash helmets, when I didn't have to, back in the 60s and now we have recent convert wet behind the ears policemen and government departments going on about them and telling me off or fining me because sometimes I want to feel wind in my hair and don't bother with a seat belt while I get going and disagree with recycling methods so don't bother. A bit like 19 year olds think sex was invented when they discovered it and we olde cranksters have always been simply olde.

C'est la vie and plus ca change,
Mqurice
