A TRIBUTE
It’s taken us far and wide
To landscapes mysterious on this world
And beyond
To philosophers and lovers, good or bad
To poems and novels of which we’re so fond
To inventions marvellous, if you forget the
Conflict that makes us sad
Yet
Where is beauty without adversity?
Where is advancement without frustration?
Where is love without striving?
Ah, we’d be nothing without it’s
Balance
Rationality
Curiosity
Emotion
So I pay tribute to
The inquiring mind

I’m disgusted by Extinction Rebellion. They’re turning the public against green. Fanatics always end up with the opposite.

Polly Ticks says:
So the UK/EU slanging match begins. Great theatricals. In the end Big Boris will (unfortunately) sacrifice fisheries & UK gets a good deal.
Guru Tony says:
India’s bird population going down sharply? And the rest. The sad, sad, sorry tale of striving for mass industrialization.

monkeys. ‘They’re the same,’ she said. ‘Who stole my SUV?’ she said later.
His parched throat stung – pain
The mirage took on new life
Desert in his mind

Conspiracies have happened in the past. The Tudors and Stuarts in Britain were plagued by them, and much of the establishment of the UK was the result of them. But does that mean conspiracies still happen today as people think?
