All too often the media and politicians prefer the feel-good-head-in-the-sand approach and unabashedly promote the Agenda 21 "social justice" ideology in the mistaken belief that they can right their brand of perceived wrongs while ignoring the real brutality that is taking place in front of their very eyes. In the end it is nothing but grandstanding to make the willing fell good and take advantage of the misinformed for their own corrupt objectives. A society with a majority now used to feeding of the public slop trough, outraged by the most insignificant of perceived and contrived "injustices" doth-protest-too-loudly when not provided what they think they are owed, all too willingly follow the pied piper over the cliff to all our detriment.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-49703410471210978832015-01-24T15:33:41.350+00:002015-01-24T15:33:41.350+00:00Ditto Cro.

Not because we think we can actually outlast the crap that is building but so we can offer our family a good last meal as the sun sets on this world.

I try to carry on as 'normal' being old enough for it not really to affect me. I do fear for my grandchildren, but these things rise and fall, and I do continually tell myself that the news programmes consist only of what our governments wish to tell us. I suspect the world situation is totally different from how we think it is - not better, maybe even worse, but certainly not as we are shown on television.<br />In the meantime, show us a few of the lovely things you cook and eat, so different from the food over here in the UK - that should cheer you - and us - up a bit.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-80536411338319874322015-01-24T14:29:35.245+00:002015-01-24T14:29:35.245+00:00That is shocking.

My news comes from conversations with family and friends. It's enough to keep me informed about world situations without getting depressed about it. Here in he States it appears that morality is continually being eroded. There are still plenty of good people but the world attention goes to the ones that aren't. It looks like we are headed for some pretty tough times on this side of the pond. The sad thing is that folks don't care as long as the government check keeps coming. I've heard that 51 percent of the population here now gets some kind of government assistance. How can that be sustained for very long? For the first time in the history of my country, the current generation will not end up being more successful than the last. It kind of tells you something about where we are headed, doesn't it.<br /><br />Have the best day that you can.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-92044945300640167862015-01-24T13:44:49.119+00:002015-01-24T13:44:49.119+00:00You will find me there screaming with you.You will find me there screaming with you.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09333985379774001616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-64336510701739098592015-01-24T13:40:16.094+00:002015-01-24T13:40:16.094+00:00Aww Cro I wish I could send you some of our jolly ...Aww Cro I wish I could send you some of our jolly Yorkshire sunshine, it's flippin gorgeous up here today.
