Realistic views of the future?
One thing I can't fathom is this talk that Bob Brown knows where he is going. He's a realist?
By watching TV many of my city cousins think they know whats good for the country . And more than us. we country folks area supposed to be too close to the issues or just " doing the wrong thing by being here", or somethin

Why ? You would have to ask me lots of questions and TRUST me as an effective change agent. One of our lead authors Tim Winton uses the word wonks . I would agree with all who do their job well and get criticized that screen based ( not paddock based )dilitants pen pushers and endless subdividers of problems are the real problem   Read the rest of my blogs  ....and I do
