I'd be keeping the tea and bugger the crystal flutes. Not as annoying as chandeliers, but in the same ballpark.
I have been reflecting on this from the inauguration speech
>On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics.>We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.
That is interesting, the setting aside of childish things, don't you think?It could mean lots of things.
