Intro duck shone

How ya goin,... the story so far.I,ve been visiting the site for a couple of years on & off now.I seem to have the time to actually write something & get more involved at the moment.There seems to be something for everyone here to discuss,no matter your age,beliefs or station in life.I am in my early fifties, with a family,five kids,teens to late twenties.I have been in engineering all my life but am nearly retired, hopefully.I enjoy reading on the internet as i believe we don,t get the whole truth in the news on the devils eyeball.I,m a bit anti war as of late.With five kids I,ve been the adjudicator in many,many disputes & i find that in a meaningful discussion there is always a compromise.The world seems to be headed for a time when we are going to realise how small it really is.Maybe that will bring about a change in thinking.I will contribute where time & knowledge permit & i hope the bluebird of happiness shines on you all. See ya.

Welcome, Wombathole. We have a lot in common, it appears.

"I am in my early fifties..."

Sixty in December

"...with a family,five kids,teens to late twenties"

Okay one kid, age 19.

"I have been in engineering all my life but am nearly retired, hopefully."

Me too; I hope to leave Boeing in 2007 or 2008.

"I enjoy reading on the internet as i believe we don,t get the whole truth in the news on the devils eyeball."

Surely you jest, Wombathole; why would we ever doubt anything on the idiot-box?

"I,m a bit anti war as of late.With five kids I,ve been the adjudicator in many,many disputes & i find that in a meaningful discussion there is always a compromise."

My guess is that you didn't vote for John Howard. To be honest, I didn't, either!

Anyway, from old engineer to another, welcome!

Welcome wombathole.

Unfortunately, Latham was too controversal to maximise the anti-war vote.

A difficult choice for many I imagine.If the only difference in policy had been Iraq then it could well have been different.
