Panic merchants
Your favorite animals die, the crops get waterlogged or hail damaged , or you just get no decent rain for years .You get over it .You have to get over it or die yourself.
Facts are fine if you are bored but we aren't - most of us are busy thinking in our risk prone places. We all have our own thresholds regarding whats useful information at the time when it comes to risk. Adults, even when alert , don't appreciate facts that have no experience to add the necessary weight to a situation of risk. .
Our soil is chokers with dangerous spores and bacteria but we happily have it under our fingernails .( Have the stores been drained of nailbrushes yet ?)
My good friend who went to the best Microbiology school in Australia tells me that the age old Uni prac tests show unwashed hands support less bacterial growth than washed hands.
You have to know what you are doing and if you are going to tell me when i manage three fluids in the dairy that you know better save it till you can demonstrate it .
In the country there is no panic
But you wouldn't know it at the moment in the city with all the panic about coronavirus.
Whatever the risk, its clear the city is in a panic mode and have been for a while about many things .They have gone fanatical.
The media , desperate to try and stay relevant perhaps, gave voice and pictures to those who called Australia burning before Christmas .
Why? The early summer fires on eastern edge were nowhere near catastrophic - just extensive.
My earth science friend says the cities just don't understand anything dynamic about the earth.
The smoke of those early summer fires is due to high humidity just as the high February rain across Victoria is .
Just because they can't see it the uneducated forget that the air has lots of water in it and it only takes a little force feeding from elevation or evaporation off the wet surface to set it off again .
I am going back to sleep and listen to the rain on the roof' glad that my world is not like the city:
All at sea with the waves ( and the vision ), Why are they so worried , despite that fact that the earth is 80% covered with water that they have to make it their own way ( thanks but no thanks Bracks ) and they do it in complete ignorance of natures way .
Plato accused Diogenes of pride and Diogenes accused Plato of pride . Neither of them enjoyed the idea that their Creator could bless them if they both admitted it and got on with better understanding and acceptance .
