Dear Mr Opinion,

Well, that's just about everybody then.

Mr Opinion,
Sorry, I mistook your question for challenge.
I think sustainable growth would be possible if you considered different
areas, ie China has growth at present, but Europe has contraction.
Ultimately the world has to average out to zero growth.
However I don't see how even that situation could continue indefinitely.
We are in a transition time now and no doubt we will adept and do many
things differently.

Whatever makes you happy Lexi. Whatever makes you happy! But I know a lot different and I'm happy to hide behind my pseudonym.

Dear Bazz,

There's no way in the world that sustainable development will ever be achieved.

Governments are too slow to limit population growth and greedy humans will allow progress to run amok like it has been since the start of the industrial revolution 250 years ago.

I think some of the leading film makers of futuristic movies paint a much more accurate picture of what the consequences will be in 2050 than what the technocrats are predicting.

It's unfortunate that we continue to elect knuckleheads like Gillard and Abbott as our decision makers. I remember seeing a visiting American academic on TV who said that Australia had the same problem as the US in that we had low IQ politicians running the country. (Hint: like the US, Australia's politicians are mainly drawn from the law profession.)

Did you see the Abbott and Turnbull show on TV the other night presenting their alternate national broadband system. They were jumping around each other so much that I couldn't figure out which one was supposed to be the dummy and which one was supposed to be the ventriloquist. But definitely one of them had his hand up the other's arse!

Dear Mr Opinion.,

Thank you for wishing me happiness.
I wish you the same.
And I understand your preference
for anonymity. Some things are better
kept secret.

Mr opinion you can not be expected to know.
But sometime ago, a female poster gave her e mail to all here.
She suffered for it,what became a major problem for her for some time, a stalker.
One seemingly who had mental health issue.
WE,ALL SHOULD UNDERSTAND being careful is not cowardice or any thing other than living in the world as it truly is
