I've made a lifetime hobby out of correcting people, but it took
years to learn to do it tactfully - I clearly remember in 6th grade
when Sister Mary Margaret congratulated me for saying "Excuse me"
before I pointed out her arithmetic mistakes. Most people will
completely ignore your advice and wisdom, no matter how right you
might be, if they feel they're being attacked. 'Tis one of my own
biggest problems - little patience for the utterances of fools, and 
there seems to be a preponderanc of them about....
SSC - Sudden Subject Change - I'm not so sure I want to have another
kiddo, even if I was sure it would be a boy. I think the source of 
many of the worlds problems is that children are born into situations
where the resources to feed and rear them properly are inadaquate.
With two daughters, my resources and my hair are getting pretty thin.
