Anonymous is the same whispers that took us to war in Iraq. The same whispers that wangled George Bush to be President of US. The same whispers that tries to get us to accept that bailing out banks and big business, isn't blackmail. The same whispers that leaks our children's data out onto the Internet and leaves confidential papers in public places.<BR/><BR/>The same whispers that cheated Rachel out of RLD and will ultimately see its demise. <BR/><BR/>The anonymous secret cults who hide behind closed doors on a Friday night and play chess with peoples lives and take more than their fair share. People in the media playing fast and loose with our children's perceptions mixing toy ads and debt ads in between Scooby Doo. The battalions of policy makers and lawyers at the BBC who scutter around looking important, excitedly reprogramming the propaganda vehicle to ensure people accept the credit crunch as anything other than just a rich mans game.<BR/><BR/>The anonymous are those little people with power, but who are unaccountable for their actions.<BR/><BR/>It is these people who will ultimately eat away and corrupt every thing good that society stands for. They are pervasive and have sought to cover their tracks.<BR/><BR/>Don't you see what is happening here? The cracks are showing in our way of life. <BR/><BR/>The devil is getting into the detail. <BR/><BR/>Hold strong against the whispers, for they are surely the devils disciples.<BR/><BR/>Why its a fucking disgrace! Wake up everyone! Get your heads out of your arse. There is no sunshine up there!

Having been on the receiving end of Rachel's immense kindness I too have nothing but praise for a woman who gave her time and energy for someone she did not know and is very passionate on her views about the future of small businesses in the UK to become a voice for it. But note also, Rachel is not running a charity and we must not take advantage of her goodwill. <BR/><BR/>We do have to be careful though - the perceived view of idol worship can/may destroy the image Rachel is trying to portray if we project her as the woman who 'sins but can do no wrong'. It probably won't do our own image any good either but that is perhaps less important We don't always have to see eye to eye on our views and I'm sure Rachel would agree to this.<BR/><BR/>On the subject of anonymity, I really don't have a problem with it per se. C is anonymous but has some views I respect, he has good reasons for wanting to remain anonymous and I respect. I have little respect or patience for the anonymous people who post abusive comments to Rachel because it has so little value.<BR/><BR/>I think we could all support Rachel by posting constructive comments to her blog which will support her image even if we do not agree with what she says otherwise we are in danger of being labelled sycophantic idol worshippers.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you back C.Anne Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457260191611617141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751051834657543809.post-51246133809094959762008-12-04T13:10:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:10:00.000-08:00Maybe this dlog fella thinks thus of people who ar...Maybe this dlog fella thinks thus of people who are sincere towards him;<BR/><BR/>I greet you as a friend, I will support you in all your laudable undertakings.<BR/>The posture of my daily undertakings shall remind me of your wants.<BR/>Your lawful secrets when entrusted to me as such I will keep as my own. <BR/>And last but not least and possibly the most important statement of all;<BR/>I will support your character in your absence, as in your presence.<BR/><BR/>And you must all admit Rachel has been somewhat inactive this week with regards her blog, so I personally see nothing wrong with DLOG, Stephen or any one adhering to the above statements, do you?<BR/><BR/>FYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751051834657543809.post-65698137675859087862008-12-04T10:14:00.000-08:002008-12-04T10:14:00.000-08:00Ok call me fickle but I'm back posting this becaus...Ok call me fickle but I'm back posting this because I think everyone needs to chill out.<BR/><BR/>Diversity of opinion and views is what attracted me to this blog.
