Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and to have nonsense respected.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

A lot of lies and misinformation has been put about by eco nuts on the back of a report by an idiot economist [Sir Nicholas Stern]. Environmental head bangers are talking nonsense when they claim that aviation is the fastest-growing source of carbon emissions.
