OF course. She credited a feed that I don't recognize and couldn't remember when I was posting. But isn't that the nature of youtube, to viralize the good news?

Innit great! one of the best <2 mins i've ever seen.

Our generation doesn't care.

Exactly. For the times, they are a-changin'. I'm sure that there was a generation of dinosaurs who argued about the damage of women getting the vote or of a Catholic becoming President, but to those who are 'on the bus', so to speak, it doesn't matter.
