I was infuriated by the batty woman on WOmans Hr With her theories about our broken society and how we should buy less and live each other more etc.

Nowt wrong with that personal is political blah blah but pls do not trivialise catrastrophic world events please 'k!

Right dd2 needs her nappy changing and I better do it straight away else she might grow up to declare war on France or something!

'love each other more' sorry typing on a phone and that always means hideous typo's

Please do not think I am against a more nurturing loving society - I am all for that. What I am against is the emphasis on individuals over society - especially when explaining the basis for a war - they come about through a complicated interplay of historical events, Market forces (the price of oil!) etc.

Isn't blaming GW decisions on his upbringing a tad exagerating I mean if you want to blame the parents blame George Snr for selling arms to the middle east in the first place!
