Yassir Arafat was educated in Civil Engineering. One reasons there are fewer engineers in prison : They plan better. That does not mean they commit fewer criminal acts.

I have three adult daughters and I can't say they "pointed" very readily, or at all: <i think i will point erita* towards the engineering inclined boys from now on* > Traditionally, you should buy a shotgun and meet those approaching at the property boundary. The young men know instinctively to watch out for the fathers and treat the mothers with care and respect. Young women [nearer girlhood] seem vulnerable. Then, as BP colleague Charles Willoughby explained to me a couple of decades ago when his daughters became adults, "It's like nature turns on a switch". He used to worry about his daughters, then, when their switch went on, he started feeling sorry for the young men. ElM doesn't yet realize that HE is the experiment, rather than his daughter; he will learn, as do most rats in an experimental cage. Or, if we go by the old joke, if we assume he is the researcher running the experiment, he will end up trained by the rat [which is supposed to be the subject of the experiment] and the rat will do what it wants to do, not what he expects it to do. Life is complicated. Mqurice
