Marsha, Haven't you heard this before? "They" are the same people who say things like, "A rolling stone gathers no moss" and "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." As regards "import" I say: "From what you see, hear and read, take what you like and leave the rest. Then DQ will be served." Platt George Orwell He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him).
