Anyone who did even rudimentary....

....physics at school will know that hot air rises.  That's why attics tend to be warmer than basements, especially in houses that are heated. It is also why passenger balloons fly. Not only does it rise, it expands. Much the same can be said of the kind of hot air that people spout when they are debating controversial and emotive issues. Enough hot air for a fleet of Zeppelins!

The more we discuss any subject, the more discussion it seems to merit. Small differences of opinion become bigger. Quite often we ought to deflate unnecessary arguments. It really is a question of least said, soonest mended.



Maturing is realizing how many things don't require your comment.
