#4 Maybe the grammar police would have better luck prosecuting them for dangling participles; those grammarians can be brutal, you know!!

#6 Just read in the Daily Telegraph about a French womam in Dubai who was gang raped by 3 Muslim men. The police have arrested her and charged her with adultrey and let the perps for rape off scot-free. So, none of this surprises me in the least. Fred, you need to stop drinking coffee and go with something less scalding!
