I do not always expect you to agree with what I say. I would be so pleased if you would enter into discussion with me about any topic that interests you. That way we could both learn a lot. For instance are you a mother or father of a young child and go out to work? You will have good reasons for doing so. It is easy for me being single and retired to say the things I say, but it may not be so easy for you. When my son was three months old I went out to work two days a week. He was looked after by his grandparents. How fortunate I was to have them living close by. They were the ideal child minders. I was also fortunate that my husband was always in work. We lived in rented accommodation with a very low rent as we looked after another property nearby and grounds. We were blessed indeed. Tell me how you cope with managing work and your children.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
