My best again, to all of you.<br /><br />"Stand We At Last" from Zoe Fairbairns was one of my "coming of age" reads. Some things we don't ever forget, eh?<br /><br />Also, how strange to see the pic of Vicky Blake and think that she's just as I imagined (and I assure you I've not seen her in person or in another pic before)!

What I mean is that I have seen the ugliness and tragedy of it first hand and on a regular basis.<br /><br />The trouble with people doing small measures is once they've done that, they think they've done their bit, so to speak. Look at all the pop protests of recent times. People doing the nice easy bits, but whatever changes?<br /><br />No, people have to get properly involved and stay involved to make a change. It needs more than signed pieces of paper it requires a radical change of lifestyle for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21629015.post-32711626887160105182006-12-11T13:54:00.000+00:002006-12-11T13:54:00.000+00:00tee hee, Jon.

You can sign as many pieces of paper as you like, but until people raise up out of their own selfishness we'll get nowhere, despite the many ineffective EU, UN or whatever motions in place.
