Mood: Depends on which way the wind is blowing

This board is the best current version of a Roman Senate
that I know of.
There is intrigue, accusations, threats, response and re-response...and all, as far as I know, in a bloodless arena.
So, I guess that we have evolved?

Well,
since I am a citizen of Ireland, I usually swerve around the ides of March and dive into St. Patricks day  (not).

Bajanomad board has "search". I doubt the Romans had that. They had to try to remember what some certain Senator might have said 6 years ago. They
were glad for the diference "verba volent, scripta manent". "Spoken words fly away, written words remain." I think we can all agree that "search"
might be handy when looking for a cheap room but it has been more than occassionally used to splice and dice, bring the worst kind of blood --
bleeding pride for those who were the object of attack.

erudite? emoting? Ides. When I was in Ireland I didn't see any of those! They must burrow, 
And Skeet you can't leave us, were just too exciting!
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Skeet
strikes me as a gentleman when he is not being ornery. I would definitely choose him to be on my team if I had the option.

You know about my high regard for you and how you approach life---But this is bulls*t when you keep talking about leaving. I have thought the same
thing many times but I keep staying and it does keep getting better--so suck it up like you have all of your life and gather around the campfire with
your friends--I consider myself one of them.
If I can't wander off with my tail between my legs then neither can you--Got it?
As Richard keeps saying, What about Baja?
