Thank you. Sometimes I get lucky and write something meaningful. Other times I not have way.

I'd give you my real answer, but that would get me permanantly banned, so i'll give you this instead:

HB's are parasites on history

I read a quote from Sibelius in the SMH this morning that just about sums it up for me (with a slight modification):

"A statue has never been raised in honour of an HB"

However as I said some years ago, many a HB appears to be erecting a statue for himself in his rhetoric.

That's a good one and quite ironic, since HBs don't take to criticism too well!

Which is a shame, really. I mean, pigeons gotta poop somewhere. What better place than an effigy of Sibrel or Kaysing or the like?

(Hmm, I just read what I wrote. Remove three words and I think I found a better place.)

I always thought statues were for pooping and effigies were for burning.

Yeah, deletion of "of', "effigy", and "an" makes for more interesting targets. Touché!

BTW, instead of poisoning pigeons in the park, these particular pigeons should be fed various berries to allow for colorful commentary.
