That segues very nicely into the concepts in my next post. Jim: Shudder indeed! The very idea. I may be capitalist swine, but even I have my limits! Lore: Join the queue behind Mr Bunny, Mr Lore, and someone will be with you shortly. Z: Ha. That segues very nicely into the concepts in my next post.

It really doesn't bear thinking about, does it? (What's the emoticon for a shudder I wonder?)

Is this really a truth though, in the common everyman sense of the 'truth', with or without the biblical overtones? I am not sure that your assertion is correct, Miss Smith. If I may be so bold, I would like to respectfully suggest a slight rewrite. I think the word 'capitalist' would have been better phrased as 'marxist'. And as for the word 'pig', that might have better been put as 'bunny', thus lessening the porcine overtones, don't you agree? I think if you analyse your real reasoning behind this piece - which I have in some depth - you will undoubtedly find that you did in fact mean that you are a marxist bunny.
