A summary of the situation in Europe by an actor, who is also a very tall person. Well worth a read:

Regards,  
John Cleese ,  
British writer, actor and tall person

And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.

Life is too short…

I am closing this thread and deleting most of the content.

As per the registration agreement:  
“You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by the operator of the SDMB, except as permitted by the “fair use” provisions of the U.S. copyright laws (in general this means brief excerpts only). You agree to abide by the wishes of the board moderators in interpreting and enforcing these rules. Refusal to cooperate with board moderators or to abide by these rules is grounds for revocation of your posting privileges.”

Do not cut and paste other people’s work or material. A brief excerpt and a link is fine. I didn’t bother to look to see if this is actually from Mr Cleese but it is certainly not from Mr Stoneburg.

Don’t do it again. No warning issued.

ETA: starting a thread basically saying “Look at this” is frowned upon. Please include some sort of original content when you are starting a thread.
