My son questions everything. The art of asking questions has gone the wayside because we mistake interest and discernment for impoliteness. Nothing has ever been learned without questioning.<br /><br />My family thinks that I'm impolite, at least they did until my husband was billed $300 for a product he didn't want by telemarketers. Now he's "ruder" than me. :)E. B.

Just look at how things are today. People have lost all reason and are content to let charlatans and snake oil salesmen tell them how to think.

What a disaster in the real story. Yes, it was a dumb thing to do but the man was on his honeymoon.

Around Valentine's Day I read an newspaper article that reported the holiday was the busiest time of year for private detectives since members of couples suspicious of their partner's fidelity hired detectives to see who would get flowers and candy from their partner. Add in a "What if?" and I had the story "A Detective's Romance."Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-13306783895441868472011-06-27T07:21:10.055-04:002011-06-27T07:21:10.055-04:00Thanks Jim.

Marple fan, I do like Christie's concept of the little old lady bringing villians down. <br />People's lust for power, I find fascinating. While I understand that people want control in their lives, using power to control others is despicable and on some spiritual level, laughable.E. B.
