Thanks Doka for highlighting those writing skills of those self-proclaimed "important people" who shape opinion Fake news is the real news??? Nah - poor writing skills by the press ranks pretty high when its your livelihood........
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)
