When I read this book I had the same reaction as you, Baba. I almost felt guilty because I wasn't involved in a discussion group.

Right! It's a kind of shame, as being involved with a discussion group or similar, would have most likely had me truly appreciating this work, Bob :)

I'm glad at least some good has come of me reading this Chrissie :)

Nika Great quote. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you like the quote Nika :)

Shira Interesting that laws should protect not only property, but life, limb, and safety of person, particularly the vulnerable. Property alone seems to leave that out.
