Observations - Fun Fiction or Fact
Hi,

Is it just that what they say is soooooo true that scares people, have we been led this way or just got lost and in the process lost the plot? Discuss!

Well without wanting to cause offcence to anyone...espcoally the Ants (Adam Ant their spokesperson always quoted - don't tread on an ant, cos one day they may tread on you - I have seen a movie like that, so it must be true), but is there not some truth in that whole piece? But as always I am not an expert....
