I have no hands or tools or any power to change my environment so I swim with the currents I find and swim around the barriers I encounter.<BR/><BR/><BR/>But then I think of bees who work hard and work together to create a very controlled, engineered living space. Bees are armed with effective tools and most important, with teamwork and they make their hive into a small den of perfection for them.<BR/><BR/>Everyone chooses some balance between living like a fish or a bee in their environment. Pazuzu's interest in LBTQ and Helem is very bee-like. We should all choose to join the battles which are most important to us. I guess how a patient chooses to deal with such a dentist is just such a choice.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13957136653334476730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-73179012854171683082007-10-01T05:25:00.000-07:002007-10-01T05:25:00.000-07:00UK seems to be F... up with the muslin rules.

Never heard of any case like that in France (but I may-be not aware of all the news)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, last week I had UK customers who intend to settle in France (not retirees, about 45 years old), saying they can't stay no longer in their country because it's f. up and want to become frenchs because we are more patriotic ; I can't prevent myself to smile though !

It's not the police that is dealing with this. It's a Professional Conduct Committee. Even police isn't allowed to carry out "false flag" operations in the UK.<BR/><BR/>3. In any case the dentist admitted quoting "Islamic scripture" to the woman. Hardly his job. Guilty as charged.BHChhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178467606233596591noreply@blogger.com
