It's bad enough to have him living on the dole, but when he uses his idling to insult decent American folk, it's a travesty. Rowlie was a teacher before they sacked him for his bizarre behavior. Now he lives off his wife Rebecca who teaches at uni. Fortunately, no kids. Rowland hates his parents and hasn't been home for ages. I think the feeling is mutual. Rowlie had a mate, Sarah Balfour, in these newsgroups. Poor Sarah is probably living in a packing crate under a bridge by now. That would be Rowlie's fate if he didn't have a wife to live off. <yawn> Rowlie claims to have been a professional writer, but he's lying again. He hates all of his doctors and no one will see him any more because of his abusive behavior. <shrug> He's really a pathetic case. -- "Kill the shrinks, kill the psychiatric nurses, kill the lot of them.

Heh, I wondered what hit me when Rowland lit into me, thanks for the explanation. I adopted a defensive posture in my responses to Rowland, said a few things about my own president and country that I regret now, to kind of "counter" Rowland's tirade. This is not the time nor place for political discussions, as it is supposed to be a computer forum for Macs. That said, I would like to make a few off-topic observations. All people have political preferences, some like no central government at all, some go to the other extreme and like a dictatorship with extremely tight control. Most prefer the middle, from the "business friendly" government of the USA to the more tightly regulated forms of socialist governments preferred by Europeans, even to the much more tightly regulated communist governments in places like China. So be it, people can decide their own preference, and if they are determined, move to the country of their choice. (assuming their govenment lets them migrate out of their own country) I don't see herds of people leaving the USA to take up residence in other countries, nor do I see herds of people in the UK leaving there for the USA , so everyone must be reasonably happy with their own governments policies. Here in the USA we judge our politicians by what they do, and what they have done, in the past, not so much by what they say in their speeches. I can find little fault with Obama's speeches, he is all for motherhood, apple pie, a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage, health care for EVERYONE , and other such noble things. Even his speeches in Arab countries I can find no fault with, nor can anyone else who actually listens to his speeches in those Muslim countries. What makes me and my fellow USA citizens extremely nervous is his policy of moving the USA much closer to a socialist form of govenment, which we rejected when we originally migrated from England to settle this country, to escape from heavy-handed central government control , then common in England. He is also spending us into oblivion, the USA has limited financial resources, so can be broken by such irresponsible spending. If the USA does indeed go broke, the financial repercussions of that will affect a lot of European countries, who are not exactly rolling in money right now. Likewise, if the present financial distress in the UK becomes much worse than it is right now, that will definitely adversely affect us here in the USA , so we are watching _your_ financial situation in the UK , with the hope that it will improve, for both our sakes. There, I have had my say, now back to talking about Macs. <g> Mark-

There was no socialism in 17th century England my friend, in fact quite the opposite. The London Virginia company was just a land grab, it was nothing to do with "Rights". It was the American (ironically) and French revolutions that gave birth to the concept of "Socialism" and that "All men are equal". > > He is also spending us into oblivion, the USA has limited > financial resources, so can be broken by such irresponsible > spending.
