good stuff. i live a few miles from stratford upon avon, and so i should be up in arms when people question our big local hero. but i don't think our man wrote a bloody thing in his life. most people ive mentioned the authorship problem to dont seem aware of it though, or give a damn either way, and seem reluctant to hear about it. tbh, i get the same reaction when i say renewable energy is neither of those things and ecars are not a solution to cars, and some other things. stratford upon avon sounds like an idyllic english village. but its a bit of a shit hole now tbh after a century of rampant oil fuelled expansion. it isnt a very nice place any more. its more or less a huge car dealership with a polluted river flowing through it. but no other town in britain or even the world can lay claim to such a massive global fraud so thats something to be proud of i suppose.
