School, Condoms, and Lunch
In the schools I attended we were given neither condoms nor lunch. We were given a good education.

Civil e-mail containing comments, constructive criticisms, and the like is gladly received, although I cannot promise to answer everything. I will, however, make an honest attempt. Offensive e-mail is deleted unread. Choose your subject headings carefully as I sometimes decide to delete from them. I do not open attached files from unknown parties. If you send a message not addressed to me in particular, I will be tempted to let someone in general answer it. Pith is king and neatness counts. E-mail is subject to posting in whole or in part at my discretion unless the sender requests otherwise.
Comments Policy
You must be pre-approved to leave comments on this site. If I know you and you have already established your bona fides, then you are in like Flynn, whether or not you hide behind a pseudonym. But if I don't know you, or you have proven yourself to be offensive in the past, then you are out like Stout — unless you reveal your real identity and provide me with some way of verifying it. In other words, no one I don't know will be approved who comments anonymously or pseudonymously. Full statement here.
Yes the priorities have shifted -- away from from what they ought to be. It is the responsibility of parents to feed their children, not the schools. We must resist the slide to the Nanny State -- with Hillary as Nanny in Chief.

Did you ever see the movie Saturday Night Fever starring John
RevoltaTravolta? Circa 1978. There was a funny scene in which the Travolta character gives a short fat chick in the back of a car a little envelope and the girl refers to the contents as a 'condominium.'And a very happy New Year to you as well, sire. Whatever your drink of choice, enjoy it in moderation tomorrow night, and every night. Good parsimonious nominalist that you are, I trust you shall not multiply inebriation praeter necessitatem.

Favourite tipple? Port or Madeira, very old-fashioned drinks. A good Malt - say Ardbeg, Lagavulin. Most types of wine, burgundy when i can afford it. And of course Kentish or Yorkshire bitter. I'm from Kent, where they used to (&I think still do) grow the hops to put in the beer.
