Yes BranShea, the deep pits recently found on Mars have excited the young
yo-yos of the National Speleological Society. On Earth lava caves of any great length are formed when the horizontally-flowing molton rock stops flowing and becomes a long horizontal air filled tube. Obviously on Mars conditions are different and there the vertical throats of long dead volcanos have resisted fill and erosion and so one day soon they be rigged and dropped by lucky cavers with balls and money.

That is, unless individualism is snuffed out by repressive nanny governments in the name of liberalism but in the reality of Big Brother.

But hey, that might take years; and this is now, so let's holler "on rope!" boys and let's go drop the caves of Mars.

Now etaoin, aren't you the rude one. My one sentence violation of the understood-by-most posters-but-not-yet-ensconced-rule-against-social-judgements was said in passing.
Your rudeness, however, wasn't.

Apologize and I'll forgive you.

Etaoin, why don't you verbalize? At least you can do it without
misspellings. Mispellings? Missspellings?

Ah dear BranShea, Etaoin doesn't verbalize because he can't.

It is much like the occasions when we don't have a point to advance our own point of view we sometimes childishly point out the miss spellings of our adversary in order to compensate for our own ineptitude.

But sometimes we just say "blah blah".

Besides, right is right. Big Oppressive Government (BOG) will try to control everything on Mars too when the time comes.

that's not quite fair either — I don't think Helen has posted *at all* for at least a week.

Eta, you have a wonderful voice, but you're a cheat.(OK , erroneous,erring,sorry) Of troy posted two hours later than tsuwm.
Furthermore, why should someone who's opinion on something you can't know, consider that what you think of as crap, is crap as well? (Oh gee, I cant get this sentence run.)'

Anyway, my mother always told me: "Beware of bards"

Hey Vermont boy, have you ever considered that not Helen but only you find great offence at my saying that liberals cum socialists through government tightly control the lives of their subjects.

My mother also said: "beware of bards, but listen to their song." I'm glad I did.Best remedy against all fatigues is music and a song. Always and ever.(maybe not harp music right now).
Is it politicizing or pollicitationazing?
