Firstly get a spellchecker, secondly, though much of what you say is true,
if you only just found out about human nature, you are probably a little
thick. also most conspiracies are not, conspiracies, just people being
inept, insensitive and thick.
good luck.

Yep. "Don't attribute to malice that which can be explained by simple
incompetence."

Oh, Rupert; they ARE out to get you.

There was a question I always wanted to ask Jackie Lee and a year ago
I found her on Youtube, and was able to pose the question to her as a
comment.

In case you are wondering I asked her why the composer of The White
Horses" wrote the lyric “It’s a gentle warm and wonderland” instead of
“It’s a warm and gentle wonderland”, which fits just as well, and
even makes sense.

She posted a lovely reply, if a bit surprising. She said she hadn't
ever noticed that before, and the composer, Michael Carr died shortly
after it became a hit.

Incidentally I was thinking the same thing about Rupert Bear's post.
He has interesting things to say but he is handicapped by his writing
style.
