Large scale permaculture
Love Kevin,
Love his approach, but lets face it. You cant change course overnight re change of government. It seemed to me that the Libs were acting as if they knew what was around the corner before they lost the plot. With pipelines being blown up, English oil workers on strike, they have all the excuses to have every ones budgets blow sky high. Better be careful in investing, except locally. French Truffles look like a good market to be in... Weather had better shape up this season. We will all be in trouble. Seems like the government knows this, and so restricting what supermarkets are doing to farmers prices. And about time too.... Re human right issues, we may have a few locally too, with our natives. Thats the pommy influence of past generations. Lets get it right this time. FarmI wrote: "0tterbot" wrote in message Charlie wrote in message What? He's sucking up to the new big money since our economy is going down the shitter? What a louse. :-) no, i meant that sincerely!! i am very impressed. it's not many p-m.s who can or would tell the chinese (in mandarin) that they have a few human rights issues! I agree that seeing him talking directly to the Chinese was very impressive. I dont think too many world leaders would have the range of languages that he does. But I do think they have to get off their arses and start doing something. Since they've taken over the role as the Government, they've probably only sat for about 4 weeks. Not enough to do a bloody thing of use, yet. You're right. I am not sure about obama, as far as his policies are concerned, but, damn, the boy has charisma and is fast on his feet. The trouble with 'charismatic' leaders is that the instant people see through the 'charisma', they drop like a ton of lead. I'm not yet convinced that Obama has anything of substance. Hillary does, but she certainly has baggage. *If* things were to go as he portarys, perhaps you all would love us again. But one must always ask, who really controls the show? i also think yanks have an over-inflated idea of how much they were ever loved in the first instance g :-)) It does tend to come as a surprise to many Americans that they aren't universally loved, but I do think that Charlie might be an exception to that grouping as he seems to have made an effort to look beyond his borders. It's not so difficult to understand such a mind set if you think of us having 300 million people on our continent - imagine trying to keep up with current affairs within the nation in that circumstance, let alone trying to know what is going on in the rest of the world. Add to that being the most powerful nation on earth and it must be a bit of a heady mix. I've always thought that we were extraordinarily lucky to be where we are and what we are. We're a piddling little, unimportant nation stuck at what other nations see as being the bottom of the world, but that works to our benefit. We take in news and media from all sorts of nations and because we all feel that we are isolated, we travel, and for our size, we travel a lot. |
