A fire argues?
What is this "A Fire Argues?".....
It is just a random thought ;)
Argument is like a fire. This fire cannot be dowsed by more argument.
Argument is like a fuel for this fire.
Many times we start discussing things and quickly it turns into argument.
While discussion will have happy ending, argument can have unhappy ending.
Is your MP underpaid? - An interesting article by Pritish Nandy

I was a MP not very long ago. I loved those six years. Everyone called me sir, not because of my age but because I was a MP. And even though I never travelled anywhere by train during those years, I revelled in the fact that I could have gone anywhere I liked, on any train, first class with a bogey reserved for my family. Whenever I flew, there were always people around to pick up my baggage, not because I was travelling business class but because I was a MP. And yes, whenever I wrote to any Government officer to help someone in need, it was done. No, not because I was a journalist but because I was a MP.
