whiskas gets an "a" and a "d" I'll give you an "A" for originality and a "D" for reality.

Honest to goodness....I have never ever heard anyone anywhere prattle on about flags and symbols and how they're this and how they're that as you have!!!

But an A - for originality.

As for symbols....you are wrong. Simply wrong.

Symbols are what we all hold near and dear and which represent all that we cherish - bei it nationally, socially or religiously.

Have you ever been to a Cenotaph, a Church, a Parlaiment........have you not felt your heart stir at the National Anthem or at the sound of the Last Post.

As long as man lives...these symbols will be at the very forefront of our social, political and religious awareness.

And mate, you get a "D" for failing to see that.

A world without them is a world devoid of spirit.

Human spirit.
