OK. I don't think either of these people are 'right': you have a spoilt preachers wife vs a money grabbing flight attendent. and yeah, race is going to be an issue. Damn people should have manners. Punctuation where you please.

The credit crunch, a knife crime epidemic - no wonder so many of us are sick of the 21st century. Most of us just grumble, but some women have taken radical action to escape what they see as the soulless grind of modern life.

Last October 25 was the kind of community-council meeting that made news in Pacific Palisades. A smooth-talking, overperfumed lobbyist for a global gas company was there explaining that a proposed gas terminal some 28 miles off the coast would pose no harm to the denizens. A local woman disagreed, leaving in tears. An LAPD vice cop — a Sergeant Crump — showed up in an undercover “drug-dealer hippie” getup, and, to an audience with mouths agape, reported that teenagers in the squeaky-clean Palisades had been buying booze and drugs by a local Mobile station.

The annual debate in our family begins in the run-up to Christmas, and is about the size of the turkey. As the chef, I favour a small, naturally-reared bird, and like to prepare it the way the French do, with a flavoursome chestnut, apple, salt pork and fresh herb stuffing, bound together with a couple of eggs.
