David,

Thirty years ago, 1982 to be exact, although of course, living in an Aboriginal community some years before that and observing many others, I became well aware of the limitations of the notion of 'community' - the 'spray-on solution', someone called it.

It's depressing that each young generation has to learn the same stupid bloody lessons over and over again.

Hi Poirot,

It would be great if you could get beyond your childish obsession with the Yanks. There are worse beasts in the world. When the Yanks behead someone, let me know.

David,

'Community - the spray-On Solution' by Lois Foster. I remember now :)

My head is full of useless bits and pieces of information, like a library in which the librarian simply tosses any returned books onto a huge pile, and then has to fossick through it if someone asks for a book that's buried there somewhere.

Red wine doesn't help either.

Brilliant article !
