"Pelican, why don't you simply live at a much lower standard of living? To start with, you could stop communicating to us your opinions."

But then you wouldn't have the benefit of them Peter. ;)

Bit testy about the latest share prices are we Peter?

For most of us in the West our standard of living is very high - if we chopped a few levels off it we would still be living far better than those in the third world. And no this does not equate with advocating cave dwelling or hut living.

For a start I do choose to tread lightly. Like you I also don't lop the chooks heads off either.

Try and take a breathe and look outside the square Peter. Go on I know you can do it if you try.
