perhaps you should focus your attention on dogs. The consumption of
dog meat is encouraged in Korea.

I hope you weren't serious. We have much bigger waste problems than
that. At least horse shit is biodegradable.
Start by cutting down on unnecessary packaging, and by getting away from
the idea that things should be replaced because they are no longer
fashionable, rather than no longer serviceable.

He doesn't say he has a problem himself.

No, he doesn't. He suggests that as a society we should cut down on
horses to limit the amount of manure. I'm suggesting that if as a
country we want to decrease our waste problem, other things contribute
far more.

It's hard to cut down on
unnecessary packaging, unless you package things yourself.

But you can buy loose veg not packaged ones, refuse the offered plastic
carrier bags, lobby your MP. If enough people did, things might change.
Pretty unlikely. But if anyone is interested in a lost cause, that's a
more useful one than trying to restrict the number of horses in the
country.

I read in today's web IoS
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/thi...p?story=438742
that Scouts have abolished camp fires and cooking on wood fuelled
fires in favour of cooking using butane for environmental reasons.
Fuzzy thinking or what? Wood is a renewable energy resource.
Like many others, I only belonged to the Scouts for the pleasures of
camping and legalised pyromania. Singing Ging Gang Gooley around a
Camping Gaz burner isn't going to do much for Scouting.

I find it hard to believe sing ging gang gooley around *anything* dose
much for scouting amongst today's kids ;-)

Imbecilic pseudo-thought would be a more apt description of the "mental"
processes of the idiot who dreamt up that little lot.

The equivalent songs in the corresponding youth movement in South Africa
served us as a framework on which to embroider rude songs.

One of the offical songs that Cubs sing these days goes something like this:
"A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut,
Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut.
MacDonalds, MacDonalds,
Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut."

To the tune of A Ram Sam Sam. Make of it what you will:-(

It's too late for Scouting. Only a pale shadow of the Real Thing.

Well, as mother of two boys, I can tell you, nothing has changed. UK or SA.

That children's songs are alive and well and still developing? From my
children I've heard 'Jingle bells, batman smells....' and one about the
Teletubbies, the sentiments of which I entirely approve. I can see that
you might be depressed that the culture being celebrated in these songs
is fast food and poor quality TV, but the fact that children are still
making up and singing their own playground songs is in my view something
to celebrate.

I despair. When I were a lad..............

Just been to an old fiend's Coming of Age party. That's retirement age.
Present were most of our old Rover Crew as well as the Rover Scout
Leader.

I think our only losses have been due to accidents - no natural causes -
so we must have all been doing something right. (I was one of the
youngest.......)

And of course you think we didn't? With a gift like 'Ging Gang Gooley'?
