[Editor’s Note: I’m posting this on the basis of it being an excellent bad example of the the sort of post you might want to think twice about before submitting to SEB and also as a reminder of the importance in taking your medication every day when the nice men in the white lab coats give it to you. As an example of someone who is overly credulous it is beyond compare. I sincerely hope the author was trying to be satirical, but somehow I fear that this was written in all sincerity. A frightening thought indeed.]
I know there are people in this world who do not believe in the paranormal. I personally always had a interest in it . I had a experience with this and it has totally changed my life. Guess what it was for the good. It has made me so much closer to god. I have spirits with me all the time. There in my home there everywhere I go.
Sometimes I see them, hear, feel there prescence, smells. They are here. I have over 50 pictures to prove it. I was told I had some physcic abilities and that I just didn’t know how to use them. This is some of them. I just recently found out I could communicate with them through what is called channel writing. I never thought anything like this would happen to me but it has.
I have been writing poems on the paranormal ever since this has happened and most of them have been published. I have never
been able to write poetry before in my life. I believe this has been for a reason. There are more spirits in this world than there are people. So there is life after death and we can communicate with them. I just want to say GOD BLESS THEM ALL! This has been going on now for about 2 years.

Wish I’d said that.
Those four words capture the essence; they would be of course have been preceded by the well-known (if apocryphal) Jesuit saying “Give me a boy until he’s seven and he’s mine for life”.
No, Consi; not at all.
It’s basic nurture-speak or, if you will, computer speak - what you put in, or programme, is what you get out.
‘Tain’t rocket science - we’re all ‘victims’ of it in one way or another.
I’m starting to believe you are a country boy albeit with a better edumacation than some.
Many of my parents’ first friends in Oz were wealthy farmers – ultra-conservative.
My first school holiday jobs were on farms – tractors, silage, throwing hay bales up on the truck and wearing out the right thigh of my jeans, moving irrigation pipes every 4 hours 24/7.
Memories – when I was young, beautiful and innocent.
But I never escaped my humanist up-bringing/programming – I did try hard.
One point I’d like to make (to which you probably won’t refer to cos you only EVER clip at the sides without ever exposing yourself as suggested here with “never say anything positive about your own position because it can be attacked, but chip away at what appear to be the weaknesses in your opponent’s position”) is that conservative have rarely made the world better in any way.
It’s always been up to liberals, radicals … leaders.
Margaret Mead: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

AND, never forget, Consi, your Columbia would not exist if left to conservatives (didya notice the word left?
I’d better switch off – the red is affecting my sense of humour and fingers and, the sirloin is nearly ready.
