Paxboy: it is time you joined the real world I fail to see that what happened 16 years ago can still influence you now. Going on your principle then I assume you cannot visit the USA ( due to their dirty tricks over Iraq) and must be in a terrible quandary at the next elections in the UK. Once again BA's lose is anothers gain.
16 years ago? One company that had a fantastic product and nothing to fear, decided to try and kill off another company by underhand and illegal means. If I discover that any other company from whom I buy products or services was to do this or similar, I would stop using them immediately.
You are correct that I find the USA reprehensible. On the occasions that I go there, it is to visit my friends. I would like to see more of that beautiful country and, one day, I may do so.
As to the next elections in the UK, they give me no problem at all. I have never voted for Blair and never will. From the moment I first saw him on TV (following the death of John Smith, when he was in the running for leader) I said, "There is something not right with that man and I cannot trust him." My mind has not been changed on that.
Any other principles I live with and by? Many - but two at random: There is another airline who often have cheap fares and thousands of satisfied cutomers but I never use them as I do not like the way they do business, even if it costs me more money. Also, I try to help those that I can and not hurt those that I cannot. This includes making accusations at people I do not know, based on too little information.
