Attitude to me is more important than facts.

It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do.

It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day...

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

From a distance the plane – nicknamed the 'Angel of Death' because of the shape that its anti-missile flares take when they are fired - looks like a normal troop carrier.

But the aircraft, which is rarely deployed in daylight, carries a powerful Howitzer 105mm field gun which can 'vaporise' targets at a range of 1,200 yards.

Europe's "BURKA" - so last century ...

MY grandmother always told me about when women wanted to go swimming in the sea, what 'hazard' that was:

Change cloths in a wooden kinda trailer-like 'house' with wheels, which was on the beach for the ladies; (Free TranCElation by me: "BATHCARS" ;-)

they had to be dressed up completely, as so that men could not see the naked enkle of a lady, then when they were dressed in their top-to-toe-swimsuit, they were pushed into the sea, as so they could get out, at the BACK of the trailer, out of sight of MEN, so step into the ocean and just leave their heads out of the water.

The MAN wasn't supposed to see the swimsuit too?!

SO not only the naked enkle of a woman was taboo, seeing the swimsuit was taboo as well.

SO here we go ... accusing others of their clothes, while we (THE DEVELOPED WORLD, duh!) just 100 years ago ... did almost the same thing?

"Yeah, burka's and why they wear it, is not the same as you describe now, Marina..."

Is it not?

Matter of BELIEVE ... matter of OPINION
