Just came across this page by accident. It's a little bit thought provoking.

The reference to Americans is not mine. If it makes you any happier please insert Australians! (or Brits, or Japanese, or whatever nation you choose)

" The humans have raised dissatisfaction to an art form. They rarely notice events and creatures of great beauty, and completely miss spectacular examples of nature's generosity. For example, I once monitored the brain-waves of a human observing a sunset. After a moment, he thought "If only this sunset were 10% prettier, why then I would be happy."

(I changed one word) How I agree with this statement. I had some customers yesterday, that were so sour in there minds that I could just imagine them wanting the sunset to be 10% better before they would be happy, and even then I am sure that they would complain. Maybe we should shove all the whiney people on to a polar cap and leave them to freeze there collective butts off, and give them something to whine about. Just a thought.

Pity the Polar Bears but all in all it sounds like a plan Nettak. Happy day. I don't know about you but just being able to see the sunset is a pleasure.

B&B, while you're at that site, get his Arachnophilia web page editor. It's the best hands down (color coding, personal toolbars, etc.) and it's free!

twinsoft, Hi, Arachnaphilia was what I was looking at when I came across the interview.
I have downloaded the page editor and am playing around with it. It looks to to be very impressive and useful.
Cheers,

Bob, Downunder but never down.

Sounds to me like this Extraterrestrial may have been reading posts in the RT.

Hi Zilvy yes I agree it is a pleasure to be able to see a sunset of any kind. It is just some unfortunate people can not see the beauty in things even when it is right in front of them. They must have sad, sad lives.
