		<title>Barter, money and debt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Via JD, some thoughts on money: Barter does not work for two reasons. The first is that natural goods mature in due season. This means that for most of the year, the farmer has nothing to trade with the hunter save his promise to pay when the crop comes in. The second is that even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s rush through a climate policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This says a lot.  For a start, how is she in any position of influence? Another one of that compliant demographic running rampant in the society and in thrall to cynical agenda pushers above.  Secondly, as someone who tutored in public speaking, the first thing I noticed about her, even before the mouth opened, was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Growing up politically</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cheers, Sackers &#8211; nicely put by a would-be-radical: This was the beginning of the end of my belief in The Guardian. Ever afterwards, I was wary of the innate bigotry of some of its journalists. Having already developed a healthy disbelief in Murdoch’s Times, I suppose one can trace the genealogy of my current opinions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thought for the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. In area after area – crime, education, housing, race relations – the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google insanity comes home</title>

I&#8217;ve read and heard what these bloggers/readers have been saying but haven&#8217;t had any personal issues since 2008 when a nutter decided to flag my Blogger site for inappropriate content and Blogger&#8217;s reaction was to shut it down immediately.

Soros would.  Gleefully, he laid it out some time back: “At times like these, survival is the most important thing,” Soros said.  As he sees it, the world faces one of the most dangerous periods of modern history—a period of “evil,” writes the Beasts’ John [...]]]></description>

If she wants to lie with her legs in the air, what&#8217;s that to the feminazis? It&#8217;s a perfectly normal position for that which [...]]]></description>
