    Could your Magpie be more timely and relevant? I don't think so. Very powerful.

    Driven back again by your little poem. Too good to be lost in comments.

    Quote: 'does this mean politicians will be recycled?

    Ashes to ashes
    Dust to dust
    When they come back
    They'll be someone to trust?'

    You're kidding! ha ha! LOL.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
