"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man,' Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly, he'll basically give you a hard time.

Whether tragic events touch your family personally or are brought into your home via newspapers and television, you can help children cope with the anxiety that violence, death, and disasters can cause.
Listening and talking to children about their concerns can reassure them that they will be safe. Start by encouraging them to discuss how they have been affected by what is happening around them. Even young children may have specific questions about tragedies. Children react to stress at their own developmental level.
The Caring for Every Child's Mental Health Campaign offers these pointers for parents and other caregivers:
* Encourage children to ask questions. Listen to what they say. Provide comfort and assurance that address their specific fears. It's okay to admit you can't answer all of their questions.
* Talk on their level. Communicate with your children in a way they can understand. Don't get too technical or complicated.
* Find out what frightens them. Encourage your children to talk about fears they may have. They may worry that someone will harm them at school or that someone will try to hurt you.
* Focus on the positive. Reinforce the fact that most people are kind and caring. Remind your child of the heroic actions taken by ordinary people to help victims of tragedy.
* Pay attention. Your children's play and drawings may give you a glimpse into their questions or concerns. Ask them to tell you what is going on in the game or the picture. It's an opportunity to clarify any misconceptions, answer questions, and give reassurance.
* Develop a plan. Establish a family emergency plan for the future, such as a meeting place where everyone should gather if something unexpected happens in your family or neighborhood. It can help you and your children feel safer.
If you are concerned about your child's reaction to stress or trauma, call your physician or a community mental health center.
The Dilbert Principle may be observed in government where embarrassingly stupid incompetent people cannot be left "on the factory floor" because the discerning public lodge complaints and make otherwise embarrassing noises. Far safer to promote the person into a nice enclosed office where his stupidities are hidden from the public paying him.
This means that in public service people tend to rise to the height of their incompetence.
However, people are generally aware when they are incompetent in office - therefore those who have attained high status must either perform puppet duties or risk being exposed by those around him/her.
As it is generally more powerful to be the puller of strings rather than the (disposable) puppet - you see the situation we now have.
The site WhistelBlowers' Documents Exposed http://wbde.org gives the other side of the career path - the poor innocents (whistleblowers) who foolishly opened their mouths and now pay the price. In Australia they are pilloried unmercifully - persecuted by the full force of the peanut-brains ministers including John Howard and his boys protecting the only elevated status and forum they can find.
Lets bring back some honesty into Government in Australia. Help us ensure that John Howard AKA 'The Lying Rodent' is finally sent on his way out of office on october the ninth, by voting for (and giving your preferences) to anyone but a coalition candidate in your electorate.
AUSTRALIA ELECTION 04
NOT HAPPY JOHN
1. Malcolm Turnbull - The Rodents Man in Wentworth. Is he Fit for Public Office ???
Serial Idiot John Anderson - Can't even say sorry after mistakenly accusing TWU over planting a bomb after it turns out to be a kids homemade firecracker.
WhistleBlowers' Documents Exposed http://wbde.org publish widely on this subject.
Read how they spend millions on persecuting just ONE innocent whistleblower, and see the cartoons of the Court farces http://www.wbde.org/artwork.php
The answer may be to appeal to the United Nations in accordance with the United Nations Convention Against Corruption which Australia signed 2003 http://sydney.indymedia.org.au/node/51478
