Hey Behnny! Yes the perils of tenlrvliag: I am quite a recluse myself so I do agree with your aversion to crowds. And I have been one of those poor buggers in business class beset with screaming children behind fortunately I had paid very little for my seat (air miles) and as I had just had a good sleep on the flight before I managed with the patience of a Zen master and simply willed the child to use up all it's energy screaming and fall asleep. Which after a couple of hours is what it did. In the meantime there were complaints and people asking to be moved. If I'd paid for the ticket I would have been furious. The airlines must have had complaints about this so far I see no action taken to avoid it.As far as the US shooting goes I believe my opinion is fairly against the grain: A lot of people do fail to understand that it is written into the constitution that the people have a right to bear arms and therefore things like this are going to happen, albeit rarely. They have that right to give the people a chance to overthrow an oppressive government not acting in the interest of the people: Quite why there isn't already a civil war in America I don't understand since it is being run (as most countries are) by a foul and corrupt system, set up to rob the population blind and divert funds to those fantastically wealthy people who actually don't need them, but it's probably in the post! If you look at the amount of people holding firearms then actually this doesn't happen very often per firearm held. Look at Norway last year strict gun control nutter still shoots loads of people. The government would love to be able to disarm the population to make them easier to control, so events like this play into their hands and are hyped by the media propaganda machine. It was tragic it could have been prevented by a more responsible approach by a parent to the storing and handling of deadly weapons. I wouldn't turn my (18 year old) son loose with an air pistol, but I'd sure like the option to collectively deal with the monkey government on our backs here in the UK. I suspect burglary would become a thing of the past too! I expect I'd already know if you were coming to London Ben, but do get in touch if you are, and come pay us a visit (I can pick you up from station, less than 1hr from London). We have a few fun things going on! Best Christmas Wishes to all those involved with benisland! And to everyone else too! L&K, Paul xxxxx
