Given how I've neglected this site over the past several months, I'm surprised at the speed and number of responses to my recent post, which I've decided on reflection to remove in deference to past good times.
Likewise the comments, insightful and entertaining though they were, will not appear.
But I really appreciate the interest.
I had decided to sit down and be quiet for a while, but there has been such a shift on some of the issues we used to discuss, in the direction many of us predicted, I think I might get back in to it.
Like: Climate Change, so called. The “It's all settled, no further discussion will be entered in to”crowd no longer dominate the debate to the exclusion of other points of view. BTW have you noticed how we went from Global Warming to Climate Change and now Extreme Weather? When I was a kid Extreme Weather used to be blamed on The Bomb. “Everything changes, everything stays the same” as the French supposedly say. It looks better when they say it, in French, but my French only extends to Black Coffee (Café Noir) and Dry Cleaning (Nettoyage a sec). After that I lose confidence.
Like: the home insulation on the taxpayer extravaganza,which turned in to an even worse debacle than we thought it would.
Like: Obama's approval rating. Anyone who’s ever had a look at the US and what makes it tick would have known from the beginning he's just not what America's all about.
Anyway, thanks again for the interest and entertaining posts.
I'll see what I can come up with in the next few days.
