JUDGEMENTAL ME!

Look, I admit it: I am given to expressing dismissive opinions of some individuals who in all probability are wonderful human beings and a tribute to their parents' parenting techniques. Okay? Do I feel bad about that? (Feel free to speculate!) It comes to me easily, especially here. We all need somebody who makes us feel superior and, in that respect, this place is heaven on earth. Sometimes you are reminded of the extent to which you are just treading water in a sea of cerebral inadequacy and general ignorance. In the wake of the general election, we sat through days of manoeuvring, posturing, bluster, secret negotiation etc etc etc. I watched as the situation developed and, by and large, followed what was going on. At the same time, I was regularly quizzed by various carers as to "what is happening?", "who is winning?", "what are they doing?", "which party is Clegg ? Is he Conservative? Cameron?". I nearly started crying by that stage. And then I remembered something that I have mentioned before -- these people are allowed to vote and don't need special permission from a High Court judge in order to have children!! We should all be depressed -- this country is doomed!
