The Right to be Listened To

Gia Milinovich has a thought-provoking post about the fact that "everyone thinks that they have a right to be listened to". In her view, not everyone has that right. I think she’s correct, and her arguments are persuasive. Well, they’ve persuaded me, at any rate.

    Hey Geoff, you’re right!  This lady makes perfect sense to me also.  Trouble is, today noone listens, they just appear to be listening and extract the bits to suit themselves – ugh.  This usually results in some people delivering nonsense to the masses (mmmm not talking politics here am I?).
     
    The weather here in Wiltshire is tropical at the moment (that won’t last though!).  I have some visitors to my pond in the field – dragonflies!!!  Absolutely beautiful.   I’ve blogged the pics if you want to visit and have a look.  Do you have insects like this, where you live?
     
    Anyway, take care and have a great week (both of you xx).

    Yep – it’s a Broad-bodied Chaser Dragonfly, I think. We have them here as well.

    Wow!  You did some fantastic homework!!!  That is definately the dragonfly that hovered about me at the pond – beautiful!  Your photo is fantastic and accurately identified the insect – thank you!  Quiet a few of my ‘space friends’ have been researching and interested in this creature so no doubt they will be clicking on to your link.  Temperature over your way is hotter than us right now!  I always had the impression that it would be cooler in your country, sorry, don’t know why?????  Love your space – keep the good work up!  Anyway, take care and enjoy the sunshine xxx
