Ok so it's a while since the last post and yes I've spent an inordinate amount of time on Twitter but it is surprisingly educational.
I had no idea there were so many tosspots in the world.
You tend to judge the world on the basis of your own life experiences and yes I'd met plenty arseholes but had never really quizzed many on their beliefs. Twitter lets you do that and some of them are scary in the extreme!!
Regular readers, if such exist ( no feedback ever posted hint), will be aware I tend to the Type II climate change end of the debate, sudden abrupt and violent. I base this on my reading and trying to understand a complex and emotive subject. . Really the only point I dare to disagree with James Lovelock on is nuclear power. I don't think we've explored the small but many option using existing and available technology. All we need to do is make it cheaper and more accessible. Imagine a mini hydro generator every 20 yards along the Thames as one example.
What has shocked me is that there are still so many pig ignorant opinionated plonkers out there who patently haven't even read the literature available, or if they have, didn't understand it.

Point proved to be honest
Moving on on a similar vein. Contraception. Wish I could find the link but I saw a report last year from the UN saying the best thing, proven, to help world hunger, poverty and climate is to educate women and empower them to control their on child bearing. Apart from stating the obvious, wouldn't it be nice, just for once to treat every member of the human race as an equal. If someone can show me in the Bible, All Versions please translated from the ORIGINAL Aramaic and not washed through Hebrew Greek and Latin and not doctored at Nicea ( if you don't like it go and fucking look it up) where it says a woman is inferior to a man then I'll publicly apologise in any manner chosen.
Ditto Gays Buddhist anyone not the same skin colour etc etc etc.
Until then racist homophobes and assorted other arseholes, please please don't try to educate your kids, don't spout forth, don't demand. Just piss off and learn something.
You might find opening your mind painful but not as painful as we currently find you.
Finally, if you like Celtic music please think on a couple of podcasts I recently found. Grinningbeggar and Marc Gunn. I think they're great!!
