Responsibility


 Robert has a theory that seat belts cause deaths. Since the introduction of seat belts the death toll from road accidents have increased year on year. Can not really argue that, as it is true Airbags are another example of more deaths. The figure show an alarming number of people lost their lives wearing seat belts and having airbags in their cars. Makes one think, maybe the safer we think our cars are the faster we drive. I, for one, would definitely not drive fast in a car that is not safe. Let's just say, on this occasion I think the boy is right.

With Robert working at the university, brings to mind a story I read about freshers week. One of the stalls at a university was there to support sex workers. The Sex Workers' Outreach Project (Swop) was included in the event for new students at the University of Brighton last week. The university has insisted it is not promoting prostitution after a sex workers' support group was given a stall at its freshers' fair. That is stretching it a little, freshers week is about events for new students. Well they do say university makes one think laterally, seems quite obvious to have a stall in a lateral sense that is. 

Artemis said that Michael is a warrior and a leader! I find that hard to believe, leader maybe but warrior? I know the boy and he has not got an aggressive cell in his body. Artemis, you might know her, she was a Goddess of the hunt, daughter of Zeus, and twin sister of Apollo. I am sure you know the family. Artemis supported the RNLI in its campaign to raise funds for those in peril on the sea. It seems her beloved Achilles Archibald Homer was going over on the ferry to Greece at the time. She so wanted him to go to Italy. 

Sons, they are the opposite to daughters. I have one, Angela, so have in depth knowledge of this special child and the species as a whole. We find we love them so much it is quite scary. They will tell you they know most things and have a far better understanding about everything, even you. 

The Middle Smiths are slowing taking to their new life in the UK and I do admire Gary and Claudia for the strength and determination to overcome all the silly obstacles the British authorities throw in their way. Looking at their responsibilities, I know they will not give up under the weight of them, they will be strengthened by them. Their current task is looking for a house and a car, big decisions and I am sure much discussion.
