bonmot,

I reckon you hit a home run with your last post today. Good work. I don't think there is much more one can say. Just hope some of the powers that be could be listening in.

Saltpetre, your analogy to a game is, unfortunately, apt.

>> Just hope some of the powers that be could be listening in. <<

You've got to be joking - the "powers that be" can't see past the next election cycle or shareholder's meeting!

Pawns are even more, dumbed down.

bonmot,

We can only live in hope. At least the movement against a carbon tax appears to be gaining momentum. Fingers crossed, sanity may yet prevail.

Cheers.

Absolutely!

As I say: "Pawns are even more, dumbed down."

Corollary?

I think Australia should have a carbon tax/ETS. The debate is/should be, about the timing.

Regards
