UFO

Hiya

First off - Good to hear that "Hamster" is getting better. We'll keep everything crossed that things continue in that direction. If you didn't read the previous post then that might sound a bit strange, it is, of course, Richard Hammond. He of the "Lets see if I can make this fly, oh yes .. oh no!" school of driving ethics! Now we have all the people who think they know best out in force saying Top Gear should be pulled, these stunts are too dangerous. Well, yes they are dangerous but surely that is the point? If it was easy and safe then it would be completely pointless. There has to be a challenge, a risk, a sense of danger, that is what the human race does to know it is alive. Goodness me, if everything in this world was "safe" we might as well curl up and die right now! I'm quite sure that all involved were aware of the risks and made their choices, what we don't need is these people, who think they are better placed to judge what we, as free(?) individual human beings can and can't do with our own lives. This is of course, taking into account not involving choices that put other people in danger or harms way. If we get any more wrapped up in cotton wool by these Health and Safety quangos, commitees and pressure groups life will be soooo dull we'll all die of boredom. That's why a lot of kids go joyriding, our society has ignored them by giving them nothing of any challenge or consiquence to do but hang around on street corners looking for cheap thrills. Whatever happened to the kids of today? They were betrayed by the carelessness of the older generation. All the new pc liberal style attidudes have gone a long way to re-enforcing this by taking away any sense of responsibilty from them, so, not only are they bored but no-one can touch them if they want to seek their thrills in an anti-social way. I am not saying that this accounts for all criminal behaviour in kids (or adults) but it surely can't help? Anyway, enough now.

I really wanted to talk about ufo's but I've worn myself out with that little rant type thingy! I'll get back to you on that later ..
