Dear Dave R,
The human mind is a marvellous thing.
Whatever you allow it to focus
on (good or bad) it will magnify.
If you allow your mind to focus on the negative
aspects of the Bali Confernce and the
negative aspects of climate change,
the thoughts and views you
share with us will inevitably
be as gloomy and negative
as your last post.
ALSO if you allow your mind to dwell
on the recent Liberal defeat, you
will ooze self-pity from
every pore and orifice.
And you are not alone in
nurturing that energy-
sapping character
defect.
The whole Liberal Party is looking so
woe-begotten and miserable that
despite a lack of courage to get
rid of the power-hungry cause
of their electoral bad repute
(John Howard) I could not
help feeling sorry for the
poor old Liberal Party.
So to buck the Libs up here is a picture of
another leader by the name of Nelson.
Horatio Nelson was also a small and
unimpressive man - but he was a
brilliant and courageous tactician
and was always able to surprise
his enemies by audacious tactics.
At the battle of the Nile in 1798 his daring and
courage completely overwhelmed the French
when he sailed his ships between the shore
and the French Fleet. The French guns that
faced the shore were not ready for action,
as it was believed that Nelson could not
possibly attack from that position!
In 1801 Nelson destroyed the Danish Navy
at the battle of Copenhagen.
During the battle he was sent a signal to break
off action by the Admiral Sir Hyde Parker.
Nelson put his telescope to his blind eye and
said to his Flag Lieutenant :
"You know Foley I have only one eye.
I have a right to be blind sometimes.
I really do not see the signal."
I have no film clips about Horatio Nelson
(to buck up the poor, old Libs) but I do
have a clip from 'Horatio Hornblower':
