Please Note: These URLs used to be given in full as hyperlinks. However, due to "the linkrot problem", which is now an international annoyance in cyberspace, many links will now be rendered as text only. No apologies for this... it is simply too much pointless work trying to keep dead links out of a large links collection. Any hyperlinks seen below are simply the survivors of the linkrot problem to date. If any are discovered to be dead or otherwise useless, they will be labelled "error 404, not found".

"The economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment, not the other way round." Gaylord Nelson. This table is a new feature for this domain. The webmaster and several of his friends are convinced that lifestyles are going to change in the foreseeable future, whether we like it or not. Some changes to how we live can be guided by choice, other likely changes are going to be imposed by nature and circumstances. Some valued old notions are going to have to be discarded, but which ones? Here is a good theme. It's from an environmental activist. Barbara Finch (via Gaylord Nelson, January 2009), of Armidale NSW Australia - where this website lives - "The economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment, not the other way round, and we can't put the environmental crisis on the back burner." Barbara Finch (via Gaylord Nelson). So what happens when we put concern about environmental issues on the front-burner? (Remarks here are by the Editor unless otherwise indicated) AAAAfrica: A continent where in many areas, so-called grown men can't supply themselves or their families/children with clean, disease-free water and other basic necessities of life, particularly not, education. Tribalism notwithstanding, there is something wrong here with the contemporary, allowable definitions of "grown men" in Africa that African women, in particular, need to look at. A great deal needs to change if African countries wish to continue to receive what aid and charity they do receive from other countries. More so if climate-change problems assail any variety of regions in Africa. (Enough said - Ed.) BBBMore to come CCCMore to come DDDMore to come EEEMore to come FFFMore to come GGGGratification, instant On insanity in the USA: "How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?" - Paul Sweeney(From Wordsmith, 2008) HHHMore to come JJJMore to come KKKMore to come LLLMore to come MMMMore to come NNNMore to come OOOMore to come PPPPhones, mobile: Trick question: What is a mobile phone, really, at bottom? Particularly with the case of teenager users. Answer: A mobile phone is merely a set of electronically-working worry beads. Politics (left and right, the need for a new type of dialogue): Former Democrats Senator Andrew Bartlett writes in crikey.com of 3 Feb 2009: "The political terms 'Left wing' and 'Right wing' were already in serious need of being totally re-defined, if not dropped altogether, given how much they have been twisted, distorted, inverted and conflated over the past few decades." And quite right too! - Ed RRRReality TV: There is no such thing as Reality TV. Bravely resist anyone who tries to tell you there is. There is no such thing as a star of reality TV, but unfortunately there are amazingly gullible TV audiences. Oxymoron here, with the emphasis on "moron". By definition, anything on TV has been removed from reality by a thing called a camera. But speaking of TV, and comedy series, there has been on international TV, and re-screened, a long-running US series on a group of lovably madcap medicos serving during the Koran War (MASH). If the Korean War was so funny, why is today's world software industry immune from such satire? Today, on a daily basis, computer users are subjected to the non-lovable madness of madcap computer programmers, but there is no TV series about the resulting madcap frustrations of computer-using! Why is this? Maybe the Reality TV people can take care of this? SSSMore to come TTTTax: Do not expect taxes to fall. As populations expand, environmental heath or repair will not be cheap to deliver or maintain. Expect to be asked to pay more tax. (The long run of the US Republican Party's fantasies about tax cuts is over. Repeat, over. What the USA badly needs to do is develop a Fed-led notion of national commonwealth in which all can share equitably.) WWWWater: Expect to see conflict or outright wars over water and water rights in a variety of countries. Expect to see less emphasis on the world's "holy rivers" and more emphasis on healthy, unpolluted rivers. Worry about the Murray River, Australia. Worry about the Mekong River, South East Asia. Worry about the Colorado River, USA. Wealth: Notions of wealth and its use may change. Personal wealth may mean greater possession of political power (which activists will try to monitor). Notions of community wealth will change and environmental health will be more valued. Worry beads: Modern-day version, see Phone, Mobile,above. XXXMore to come YYYMore to come ZZZZimbabwe: Who else by 2008 wants to see Mugabe and his henchmen exiled to Iceland while they prepare their defence after being charged by an outraged world for crimes against humanity? |
