rationale, a beginning

we usually start with an explanation, although sometimes spontaneous topics of conversation do erupt...

we are old friends, who know each other too well. the stage was set for our friendship in the pubs and beer garden's of fitzroy & carlton in the early 90s. we are now older, and arguably wiser. and we continue to discuss/argue/fight about our favourite topics.

our backgrounds are 'post-graduate educated' - one with a 'medical bent', the other in the 'hard sciences', this only helps to foster difference and discussion!

current favourites issues are (in no particular order)
1. evil of alcohol,
2. evil of tobacco,
3. evil of 'obesity',
4. evil of multinational corporations
5. stupidity of GWB

climate change and the increasingly nasty way of the world also regularly sucks me in...

so we'll see if this forum works to perpetuate long, long standing debate.
