While sitting at my worktable here in beautiful Mullumbimby I could hear children, probably four or five year olds, playing and singing and I thought ‘Oh, you poor little buggers, growing up in this world’. What with horrendous climate change and our planet on the brink of disaster if we don’t turn things around; an out of control virus and our government defying anti-nuclear proliferation agreements and signing contracts for nuclear powered submarines.
A Chinese spokesman said we are now a target because of that broken promise. WTF?
Come on people… we’ve gotta get together and do our bit to save this sinking ship. For the kids’ sakes.
