Thanks for the link Gib. That was interesting to read about such people. I wonder whether I wouldn't do better by adopting such strategies - I'm thinking how good my golf would be if I was obsessive- compulsive. Unfortunately, it's a bit late in the day for me to develop such "perfectionist and meticulous" attributes after a life time of becoming a world class exponent of Mangere values. Mangere, you might not know, means "lazy", [though educationalists now prefer to say "resting" because they must have realized that some of us took the idea to heart]. Lazy and obsessive-compulsive are incompatible. Good grief, imagine washing hands 3 times a day let alone 20 or however many they wrote in that link - I'm too Mangere to bother getting the right figure. Helen Clark has a large effect on my life still. Just now I have walked upstairs having given a neighbour the remnants of her handbag, stolen last night and left in our driveway. Helen Clark has hordes of such people swarming the country. Now she has skipped town to try to do the same for the rest of the world. Hopefully China and Japan are resistant to her charms [giggle] or evil spells [more likely] and continue to make life very difficult for criminals rather than rewarding them and financing the production line of more. When people are constantly attacking one, like mosquitoes and fleas or a pack of snarling dogs, it's hard to just ignore them. Helen Clark and her coven made an art form of it. It might be helpful to others to be warned that she has been turned loose on the world to attack and bring others down too. Note how ElM who knew true poverty does not subscribe to her ideology, nor do I. I wasn't as poor as ElM, but there was a great shortage of silver spoons and capitalism was something I had to figure out for myself was a good thing after a lifetime [to adulthood] of indoctrination to the opposite. Note that Helen Clark was from a well to do farming background and her socialism is from the self-anointed intellectual elite chardonnay socialist class there to save the poor from themselves. Her problem was with her father and she has not formed a rational philosophical foundation and has merely segued her antipathy into a lust for power, using the desperation of the poor and their gullibility to propel her to the top echelons of international power. Helen doesn't mean to be evil. She really does think she means well. Unfortunately, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions as many have found with the financial catastrophe of the last couple of years. Mqurice
