    But I don't want to live in a society where professionals take that viewpoint.
    What do you think Banks, Insurance Companies, Supermarkets etc. do?

    FFS, it's the way business works.

      Which leads to the logical conclusion that where gaining a profit is concerned, ethics and morals have no place.

      But that will make for a very tulipty world indeed.

      Why should people - who can feel pain and suffering - be subservient to the desire of organisations to make money? We would be worse off than under the feudal system; at least there one could appeal to the King.

          On Radio 4 yesterday a buddhist monk very eloquently explained the difference between what a person needs and what a person wants.

          Having ones needs met leads to happiness
          Ones wants tend to lead to unhappiness.

          We should remember that in our lives. I will try to.

          Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

          Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

                  The problem is not just hard faced, it is also being clueless as to how to manage a situation.

                  I think that they have fitted a revolving door there now as they are losing so many of their SMT.

                      Japanese are the friendliest people I have ever met. I was a real surprise to me
