Entertaining as it is to learn we have a brace of Saggas, a lone Goat, a mix ‘n match Gemini twin set, an unexpected Virgo – a backyard zoo running for mayor – I’m disappointed there’s not a Sceptacarius among the lot of ‘em.
We Sceptacarians want to know who’s really wielding the power? Where there’s so much money to be made who will sniff out the taurus poo in the glib phrase ‘sustainable development’, call it out and vote it down past the S-bend? And who will answer honestly the questions put by Suzie Deyris in her letter?
