Back from the wilderness....

First off, I'd like to thank Jack for his touching concern about my whereabouts yesterday. Obviously, my dedication to L2L is as impeachable as ever, and it is with a spring in my step and (slightly manic) glint in my eye that I, in the grand tradition of Sunday night television, offer you a selection of some of our past faves from the Love to Lead files....

Chicken 1: I've been thinking of starting a blog.
Chicken 2: What's a blog?
Chicken 1: Oh, you know, a blog. That thing humans do on the computer.
Chicken 2: What, look at porn?
Chicken 1: No, the other thing. You know, they keep a diary.
Chicken 2: Like the farmer?
Chicken 3: No, you dumbcluck, that's a dairy. Jees, don't you know anything? A BLOG. It's the new buzz word for 2007. Actually, I've had one since 2004.
Chicken 2: Well, what would you write about?
Chicken 1: My political views. I can be very interesting when I want to. I have a 3,000 word essay all ready to go, it's in my mind, I just have to peck it out on the keyboard, it really is fascinating, you see, it's all about how these days, power has been centralised to Washington, even if you live in wildest Dorset like we do, and how we really ought to galvanise ourselves to march on parliament ...

Foetus: Of course it matters! I need to be prepared. What if I don’t like being a boy or a girl? Why wasn’t I allowed to choose for myself after being given all the salient information? Why did you wait until 30 weeks to bring up this crucial issue?
Joseph: It was out of my hands I’m afraid. And anyway, I’m firmly of the opinion that we should not be allowed to choose whether anyone is boy or a girl.
Foetus: This isn’t about you.

Some would argue we are technologically challenged. Some would simply say “why bother?” But getting to live on different planets is simply a next step in the long and winding road of human kind evolving. At the rate we are growing in numbers, where else would we go? Underwater colonies are a solution, but limited still.

These are just some of the articles I've enjoyed over the past few weeks. There are more to add, of course, and I'm sure the other guys will want their say. Have you seen an article that caught your eye but didn't get the attention it deserves...let us know!

Happy Valentine's Day!
