Dear David,

<<Has the rise of China caused folk to retreat to caves and old mines?>>

No, it's your exalted preaching which sent us all remorseful and penitent into our caves.

'Oh,dear! I didn't mean my comment to be a show-stopper, honestly.

No it wasn't your comments David ... it was the blog you referenced

No one bothers with those attitudes any longer ... after seeing their results in communism's colapse.

Imajulianutter, your misreading of my position is breathtaking.

I have no time for Communism OR for so-called 'Democracy' where politicians are owned by the Corporations. Both of these extremes are obscene and lead to the exploitation of the masses.

We need to set up a new political paradigm, one based on equality for all, one where 1% don't own most of the wealth, one where a good education and health system is the right of all, and one where war is only an unpleasant memory.
