Hey Rigsy, Yes yes indeed. The youth do certianly think differantly from those who have alrady enjoyed their youth. As I am constantly telling my wife, don't worry babe, he thinks as a teenager thinks coz he is a teenager, this will change.
Absolute truth is a difficult thing to find, in religion it can only be 'Sat sri Akaal!' 'God is true. As to politics then surly the proof of the pudding...... Indeed we are forced to pick and choose, and it is the manor of such picking and chooseing that interests me greatly. Many years ago I used to say that 'There are no truths, only what you belive to be true and what I believe to be the same' It seems I havn;t quiet shifted this beliefe of mine.
