Where I have been going wrong

July 12th, 2010

For some time now, a caring reader has been sending me private emails.

I know he only has my best interests at heart, and I am flattered that he took such a lot of time out of his busy day to write to me.

I received a mail yesterday, in which he pointed out all my errors and the fact that I am quite obviously on the wrong path.  My problem is that I don’t quite know how to respond.  My English isn’t quite as eloquent as his, and I would like to reply to him and apologise for the error of my ways.

Maybe you can help?

Can you help me compose a reply?

His email [unedited] -

hello grandad

it has been some time. first let me get this out of the way.

i apologise for what could have been regarded as comment spamming on yours and various blogs last yr. but i dont apoligise for my reasons. mcGregor treachery will be avenged in this life our the next.

the other thing is i still notice your blog is full of anti-establishment ranting.your governent, your green party minister and duncan stewert are true heroes to many of us who  wish to talkle global warming, passive smoking and sustainable energy-all great ideals of many in the jedi religion(which is growing day by day)

the other day i was stopped by a police  officer for doing 35 kph in a 30kph zone.

what did i do? did i complain? no i got out and shook the officers hand and thanked him for saving my life.

i truly believe your lashing out of authority is the result of immaturity and a prolonged mid life crisis.  this could be cured but maybe in your  case its terminal.

either way you can change. you could drive in to town and simply go up and shake a parking attendants hand and tell them what a great job they are doing. you could warn young people of the dangers of smoking and become more civilly responsible.

may the  force be with you
