-Yep Sweeps',
-Monkeys and 'Human Primates'-a lot in common here. What separates Humans from Monkeys is their ability to out stretch-overcome Programming by individual free thinking. They are called 'Rebels'. Thank goodness. But, we sure need it now-Captain :angry:

I like bananas. They are good to eat - but only the innards / not the skin.

LOL

As for this, well it makes me think of religion.

At times I can be a free-thinker who does not follow the herd, but true freedom requires more than simply doing things differently / thinking for oneself. Whether we like it or not the economic set-up on this is planet requires people to have money to interact with others, and that can be a very limiting factor. Especially for those who are not wealthy and therefore must 'go out to work' to get money.

*OK 'thoughtful Simon',
...I'll have one of each, whatever you're selling. But yeah, skip the 'Skins'.
Think we'll have to develope a good place for you on the new/improved/website we'll be building here. Thanks, and 'hit the road' for Glastonbury and beyond this weekend./'S' :angry:
