Costa's Garden Odyssey on SBS talked about the Backyard revolution, and that's something I'd like to see , to whatever scale is possible, in every house and Unit , expecially in social housing. I believe all the elements we need to make the changes real are already here, there's no need to re-invent the wheel, nations need the political will, and to operate outside of the mantra economic-rationalism, to make this work.Somerled_1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16202102094676500839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289349697796382040.post-9102733340580046302013-04-11T17:11:07.887-07:002013-04-11T17:11:07.887-07:00Being one of the doomers you've been reading, ...Being one of the doomers you've been reading, my comment is "no comment"....!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289349697796382040.post-29664061611849160272013-04-01T20:31:16.448-07:002013-04-01T20:31:16.448-07:00Definitely getting scary there Dweeze.

Wasn't it Roosevelt who said, 'speak quietly and carry a big stick'?<br /><br />No such thing as a bloodless revolution or a benevolent dictator I guess, they're oxymoron's. Oh well.<br /><br />I still think we need to dream a different dream, and in order to get there we need to know what it looks like.<br />Linda Cockburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569992095710837103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289349697796382040.post-32350617740842343852013-04-01T19:57:43.171-07:002013-04-01T19:57:43.171-07:00My solution is to prostrate myself at your wise di...My solution is to prostrate myself at your wise dictator feet and spend the rest of my time educating the un-enlightened with a big stick. dweeze (Johnno)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02569604526647866341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289349697796382040.post-57528166271555282512013-04-01T19:27:10.947-07:002013-04-01T19:27:10.947-07:00http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/apr/0...http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/apr/01/alternative-to-war-on-britains-poor<br /><br />George Monbiot's take on what could replace our defunct system.
