Guess who fits that profile the most?<BR/><BR/>Post on that coming soonish.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-18758257141155970792009-01-05T13:48:00.000+00:002009-01-05T13:48:00.000+00:00Both poems are very poignant - though at our local...Both poems are very poignant - though at our local school the Parent's Council has become a battlefield of the boring don't rock the boats lets support the Headie because doing anything else would be uncomfortable and the proletarian revolutionaries who want to challenge everything and have taken up caucusing! Don't want to say too much in case infiltators read this.<BR/><BR/>Yes LIES are a terrrible thing and they spread like a malignant cancer - it is more the dishonesty I can't bide and being unaccountable.<BR/><BR/>Being honest and accountable is sometimes sore even humiliating. But on reflection I would rather be humiliated but be accountable and have integrity.<BR/><BR/>The problem I think of the left is the hegenomy of men - not patriarchy or misogyny thogh that is a feature but men, women have to comply and when they don't then they are seen as harridans. I don't mean that in a man hating way I might have to write a poem to express what I mean - I'll get onto that once I finish the curtains I am making (don't have a sewing machine so it is taking a long time).<BR/><BR/>Anyway liked your poems.Ms Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488172624713157756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-44915611983655079782009-01-05T11:55:00.000+00:002009-01-05T11:55:00.000+00:00Cheers, Bill.
