Perhaps if we all paid attention to the danger of mammon more often the world would be a much nicer place?<br /><br />Heather: bugger. I didn't think of that. Maybe I need to reverse the polarity somehow? Only have disasters when I'm at work and peace and calm when I'm not there? Yes, that's it!

The last time I saw that written was in one of Robert William Service's poems titled <i>The Munitions Makers</i> where he says, "Ye fools, be not by mammon cowed" ; a fine line of poetry if there ever was one.
