Please not the frowny face, with so much misery in the world both real and imagined, the last thing needed is more. So here's a free big smiley face to counter
your blues.
For interest, it was shortly after the year 1888 when people first started using the term the 'blues' as a general description for being miserable down and out.
Besides, I did not edit your comment! I actually quoted a part of and did so in fair context as a point each or no points each is the same, a draw not effecting the overall result.
For reference doing just that, quoting a part of what someone has stated in fair context, anyone can do within fair limits under most any national understanding of international copyright laws.
don't quote me on what the exact rules are in places like N.Korea, China, El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, Guatemala, UK, etc..,
Anyway doing just that! is what the news media do all the time! they don't quote everything someone said or has written to make a point. If they did it would take far too long to promote wars and plain confuse people as they would have too much information and never be able to make a decision, except of course on the island of Britain where all is generally immediately understood and accepted on catchy phrases and clichés, which generally makes anything just so simple and easy to understand for the general smart as the shiniest of buttons population.
Regardless don't blame me, blame the Irishman and Donegal warrior Saint Columba.
Here is he is pre photograph days of course, heading an early hoody brigade trying to get through the turnstile of a early ground in Scotland, in attempt to convert some generally wild ignorant peoples.

He scored and won that and every match, and took his tribe of Celtic minded invincibles, into England before it existed and won over all before them there, onto Europe and beyond where they won the hearts and minds of all they encountered during their Irish-Scottish missions of several centuries, their impact can still be seen today across Europe where ancient monuments were built in honour of these Celts, Gaels Irish Scots, call them what you want but from Ireland they came first and Scotland was first base.
Could be a lesson there!

Anyway, Columba the man from Donegal, he is the one who well over a thousand years back
credibly can be claimed to have first started all the copyright stuff.
