If Manners Maketh Man - and Woman Too

If manners maketh man - and woman too

then why do no manners men - women fit 

any boot or shoe? If you expect better you 

are "inconsiderite, a bloody stuped fool as 

you oppused to the freedom for us do what 

the hell I or us like - as you and youres have

no recip ur - no rihght, as onely we have writes".


Freedom comes with responsibility: This is why 

many dislike freedom in practice, preferring a 

little dictator of their country or community to 

tell them what to do, or it is neighbour against 

neighbour at home or abroad where either the 

bullying majority or the fanatical minority rule the roust.


It's easy in practice to spout the above but it is not 

always others who are led astray, however much 

we like to think that I or we always deserve the day; 

sometimes I or we are the culprits too, but by reticence, 

consideration, thinking before acting we may deserve the day.
