   Good on Joe. It is high time we ditched the euphemisms and stopped pussyfooting about. We hung along for too long with the Banking industry - bowing to calls for deregulation etc - and look exactly where that has gotten us too. If that's not a wake-up call to us ordinary folk, what will it take? It's a brilliant world out there - under tremendous strain - but it is still managing, just about. Let's do everything in our power, however small that may be, to further the simple cause of wanting a brilliant world for our children and grandchildren and not a toxic, polluted mess where the last 'consumers' wander about looking for the last bargains. We can do this, folks - if we speak with one voice (and not a World Socialist Government voice, before anyone starts) - just the voice of the people, who love their gardens, the wildlife around them, getting their hands dirty with the soil of the land and who hate all the form-filling, box-ticking nonsense that is the facade of dealing with the biggest issue of our lives when pretence is the order of the day. I would rather see children knowing 100 plant-names and recognising 50 different butterflies by the age of ten - as I did many years ago - than knowing 400 brand-names by the age of five. That's just one aspect, but I hope people will see where I'm coming from! Rant over!

   How nice to hear the plain truth spoken in a political environment. No doubt, being largely unacquainted with the truth, the good congress men and women will find it difficult to believe.
