Thanks micheal, interesting listening. Sounds like you enjoyed the lecture.

I was at Tara recent inaugural lecture at the University of Brighton and taped the lecture (6.5 MB WMA file). You can find the link at http://nomadx.org/content/view/1810/63/

@Nick, @JW, thanks for the comments nice to hear your stories.

Good points. Re comment#1 I stopped buying the Scotsman for that very reason: read the headline and first paragraph and be horrified, read the rest of the article and think - "What was all the fuss about".
I enjoy reading the in-laws Daily Mail on our Saturday visits to see what nonsense they're spouting this week.

This reminds me of how, once my Mum had finished her 15-minute outraged rant based upon the newspaper headline she had read across the breakfast table, my stepfather would quietly say, "Interesting. Now read the article". I learned (as did my red-faced Mum) that having fuller information means you are able to articulate a better, more educated opinion (i.e. not make an arse of yourself).

I'm laughing at this, of course: ahead of me is a day in which my challenges include getting my "students" to open a book or get a pencil for themselves, let alone think for themselves.
