(too right too!)<br /><br />I know a thug and bully when I hear one and his 'insistant' tone is enough for me to just tune the blighter out.<br />Some may criticise me for making a decision without giving him a proper hearing, but life is too short and discernment is a skill we should all learn so to not waste time and effort resolving the dross from the valuable.<br />One should have an attuned ear to weed out the rubbish methinks.<br /><br />Having said that and noting Damian's usefully surgical dismantling of Bolt's 'work', I ask myself though, if he needs any more attention?.<br /><br />Is there a danger in continuing to give prominence to such a man, when other topics would be more worthy?.<br /><br />In a spirit of discernment and outside insight, I wonder if the likes of Bolt should just be ignored as they have clearly no more credibility due to their excesses in the past, nd as such having 'crossed the line' and blotted their copybooks, we should just dismiss and ignore them in future.<br /><br />Politicians, individuals and even nations, can 'cross the line' and once trasngressed, alienate others form which they can never recover.<br /><br />Look again at the US and the increasing concern internationally over their economic irresponsibility and the impact its having globally.<br />Default or not, many are angry that it has already come to this, even of they pull back from the brink, now merely days before the cliff edge, the world is put through more strain at their hands.<br />I suspect people won't forget that arrogant irresponsibility of holding the world hostage.<br />Heaven forbid if they actually jump off the cliff and default!.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />Nylon ShirtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
