It seems to me it's one of those mass psychosis things. In the town where I went to college there was a student nightclub near a bridge, and there was a spate of people leaving the nightclub and jumping off the bridge for a period. There was a small town in Wales a while back where a large number of teenagers killed themselves for no discernible reason. Here in Ireland we have occasional bouts of impressionable dingbats claiming they can see statues of Mary moving, or Jesus in a cornflake and so on. It probably doesn't help that working conditions there are bad. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
