It’s just worth remembering, that the societies that has tried to control or force equality, are the societies that has failed the worst, and all but one ended in either violent revolutions or even worse massacres.

Having now been home for a few days,and collating all the statistics, I have come to the conclusion there is no poverty to be found among the staff of Tenerifes bars and clubs.

Hello Louise. hope you will forgive the fun comments I have made on such a serious topic.

It is encouraging to find someone who is willing to do something,unlike many who waffle on and do nothing.

Like the saying goes ,"Those that can — do: those that can't — teach.",
