<Top 3 laughing baby´s> As my [died Oct 2007] mother in law used to say [though not for the last year of her life unfortunately], "Life's a Giggle". Note the correct use of the apostrophe unlike in "baby's" which is NOT funny. Infants do have a sense of humour. Grand daughter Liela [5 months] thinks various things are hilarious, cackling away, laughing heartily. The most surly, morose and unsmiling place I have ever seen was a town inland from the coast of Yugoslavia [just north of Albania] in 1974. I forget the name. But walking around the markets and elsewhere there was a very sullen atmosphere to the extent that I commented on it and have always remembered it. Given the carnage of the 1990s as Yugoslavia went into uncivil war, I can see that the thoughts and emotions were lurking there long before that. Laughing babies reminds me of "Lillybing" who did not laugh much at all though there is at least one photo of her smiling. But this is the image that is stuck in the public mind. Warning, graphic image; this will break the hearts of people to see such a face on such a young child: wairarapa.co.nz Lillybing is the face of the state-run welfare system of New Zealand in which tax-payer cash for babies, with Helen Clark and co playing Sugar Daddy, is the norm. There is no quality control - anyone who can get pregnant can join in. There are ambulances and coffins at the bottom of the cliff, almost no protection at the top. Mqurice
