Some made me chuckle."Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten?"

All people have the right to freedom of speech and thought even if those in power do not agree with it, perhaps more so in that case.

Re: Why cant we use these abreviations?
Not an abbreviation, but a term used by psych nurses just sprung to mind:
"Neuroleptic deficiency syndrome.""Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten?"

STAFA used to be pencilled on the top of recruits medical notes if they were of the whinging type.
It stood for Softer Than A Fcuking Airman'The honesty and bravery of our fighting forces stands in stark contrast to the weasel words and dishonesty of their political masters'. Liam Fox Now with 'added irony'!

Re: Why cant we use these abreviations?
I'm currently reading Ben Elton's "The First Casualty".
In the book, he refers to a "NYDN centre", saying it is/was a Royal Army Medical Corps acromym, and that the Army didn't like the term "shell shock".
I am wondering if the acronym "NYDN" for "Not Yet Diagnosed - Nervous" is fictitious?
EDIT: A Google search seems to indicate it is an authentic acronym."Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten?"
