     Too often bureaucrats think they are owed the money to with was they   
   please.

     I often like to ask a young person (nowadays that's most anyone under 60   
   rather then teenagers) "why do you think/say that" when they say something I   
   may disagree with.   
     I'm not saying they are wrong, when often they are, but how they came to   
   that conclusion.   
     I seldom get a good defence of their reasoning.   
     One thing that grates on me is the use of the word "feel" for think.  The   
   two are not the same.   
      So many seem to think something is real/not real because they _feel_ it   
   is/isn't.

      I was an average speller.  There are some words that still through me   
   for a loop.   
      I was always taught "look it up in the dictionary" which helped a lot.   
      Today that would probably be considered child abuse....   
      I always double check my spelling and writing before I'm done with it,   
   on a pc.  (On paper I'm  ok).  Its amazing the times I've mispelt a word, or   
   what I wrote made little sense.  (Quiet Daryl).

     Sounds like a blonde joke.  :)   
     I doubt many kids today know what a phone book is much less how to use   
   one.  :)
