I always find the collective \"they\" and \"we\" so nebulous. Certain groups seem to think that they speak for everyone in their opinions, and use those terms without any real validation. For me, the use of \"us\", signifies inclusion of everyone, no matter who, no matter what their views. A very thoughtful, and thought provoking write my friend.

I\'ve always felt \"we\" is utilized oftentimes by people who want to make their point more \"valid\" or \"inclusive\" but it really just ends up generalizing people and their opinions. I like the way you described us as \"herds,\" it\'s true on so many levels.

And - \'we\' may moan about the weather in the UK. But it is usually chillier than it has been the past few weeks. We\'ve had it mild for ages mostly. \'That\'s your lot now\' it seems.
It\'s soon to be \'normal\' or much colder temperatures in some areas of the UK soon.
Depends what sort of weather we like too.

Hello! That\'s a five-letter word!
If Fido spots any four letter words on here not marked 18+ he barks ferociously at the poets. heehee. He\'s a unique one.

And “us” will never be better than we by reason of inclusivity, whereas the former denotes exclusivity which ends up in everyone groaning in different keys.

Well rhymed, well timed. I approach politics like a crime scene with the first question being: who has a motive? Who has something to gain, a means of accomplishing it and no alibi. Then I tell myself, that\'s why nothing is being done.

Strongly felt, Dave.
Using an awkward adverb is not recommended, like putting a hat on a horse. Forgive me for the ly.

So true Dave. Love is used as a façade to cover what really lies behind a smoke screen for the politically correct or maybe what we should feel but don\'t.

The reason only dad and cubs went out is because mom told him to spend more time with the cubs “or else”!

Kudos!

A change of scenery is nice, but one does long for home after a while. Kids can also be a bother when traveling. So glad that all was right in the end, and the happy family once again safe and sound, after all there\'s no place like home. I had to smile just thinking about mum and dad. Good one dear Dave!
