Mervyn, Re the Ten commandments and you request for comment and also for something in lighter vein, your post reminded me of this little (true) story: Peter went to church every Sunday but invariably stood as far back as possible in the church. His wife always sat in front. One Sunday, Fr. Britto, gave his sermon on the Ten Commandments from the pulpit. Peter listened carefully throughout, but the priest did note a change in Peter's demeanour, from a distance, and was intrigued to the point of rushing at the end of the service to catch up with Peter. Well, Peter, you really must tell me why, when I referred to the fifth commandment, "though shall not steal" you really frowned with anger but you relaxed and almost smiled when I got to "though shall not commit adultery" Well, said Peter, when you said "though shall not steal" I really got furious because somebody had stolen my lovely new umbrella. However, when you got to "though shall not commit adultery", I suddenly remembered where I had left it! Cornel
