A. J. sent you a more than informative reading list, as well as an article to the Editor, who declined.

Moreover, I made no such promise! I'm not your secretary!

Thorium, Super Fuel, subtitled, green energy, be prize-winning investigative Journalist and science writer, Richard Martin. An easy read and available from Amazon.

The Nazis failed back then as they will again, due to the complete absence of normal human empathy, even though some were very gifted with, like yourself, brilliant minds!

Albeit, you come over like a nit-picking fault-finder, who can't see the forest for the trees and remains in attack dog mode even when that is the least logical response!

I mean, you seem to think that if we could find the culprit, that might even save a single life?

And almost the most unproductive response from an allegedly intelligent mind! Whereas I think we need to get ourselves out from under the Chinese heel and nanny tit dependence.

Me? Not interested in wasting valuable time or resources. Or gladly suffering fools. Or the robber baron class.

What we need as a first-order priority is to beat the virus/put it back in its box. There could be some very large and very lucrative spinoffs from doing just that.

Then we need to crack on with the recovery and the transition to the cheapest energy in the world and rebuild an economy that has no competitive equal!

I can supply the economic recipe, but I can't turn anyone into a good economic cook! You can flick the switch all day and remain in the same old same old, dark, if there's no power!

Three things to think about!

The most important voice in the room is always the dissenting one!

. If the employer and the employee always agree and see eye to eye?

Then one of them is clearly redundant?

Finally, all human progress, has been progressed of off the back of robust debate and countless disagreement!

Buy the aforementioned book or ask your library to get it in and have a butchers!

A.J. Give me a temp., box No. and I'll download something for you on a couple of memory sticks, give me a couple of weeks, and I'll see what I can do, as I'm pretty much housebound these days. And I've got to go out to buy the sticks, then again to post them.

Cheers, Alan B.

While we are distracted by the China virus, the architects of the pandemic, Communist China, are busily arresting Hong Kong democracy protestors and whisking them away to the mainland (despite stooge, Karrie Lam's assurances) to face horrible treatment. The CCP has also stepped up its illegal activities in the South China Sea. Meanwhile, the West is wrecking its economies to keep old people alive so that they can continue to blame an 'ageing population' for their economic incompetence. It's not only the CCP that is beavering away, under cover of the China virus, to change our lives - for the worst - for ever. Our own politicians are our worst enemies. China could not do what it is doing without Western cowardice and acquiescence. Our politicians are too busy using the crisis to increase their power over us to deal with China. New powers have been invoked under the guise of 'defeating the China virus'. The virus will fizzle out soon, but the draconian powers will stay - just like those 'temporary levees' we are burdened with.

I'm not a fan of physical protests and demonstrations, but those of you who think that you have a democratic 'right' to disruption might just find that the limit to the size of gatherings will remain as a permanent safeguard against pandemics. How about postponed elections to keep people 'safe', too?

Power-grabbers all over the world are exploiting the China virus

Alan B, That would be much appreciated. Send it to the owner, po box 336, Berowra, NSW 2081. No rush and as I said before, it will be in total confidence. Cheers and enjoy a beautiful autumn Anzac Day. Definately one of those days to be thankful for.

Yes tbbn, China is not in anyway phased by our words, what with South China Sea recent "science" research facilities, hong Kong, 'belt n Road', faulty covid test kits, expensive raw materials for PPE, West China Uyghurs persecution... and goodness knows what else they are doing in cyberspace. But I assume some like Malcolm Turnball and the wets in liberal government will still want china to supply core elements for 5G network!

re the voting, maybe its time we had on line voting... no bullying at poles, no double triple votings (vote early vote often, the joke of Labour would be gone), cheaper, quicker, secure...) maybe another goodside of this COVID-019/96gg virus crisis!
