It was one of those lateral wanders through the internet.  I was wondering you know, really, how many of those city people are there because they want to be there?

That's the kind of quote I was looking for, a closer analysis of the situation, make humans human again, and anyway, I wondered, "Who is www.world.og?"

A few clicks later, I was at wikipedia.

...visions of...that guy...with the glasses...lives in Minessota...St. Paul's, he invented that small town...Lake Woebegon...

Has moved to NPR...perhaps...

Anyways, I'm not anti-tech in any way shape or form, I just get bored with new tech being shoved under my nose all the time...being conned at times, and the best way not to be conned is not to take part in the game, just walk away.  But what if someone's put up a fence?

So I see renewable energy, locally distributed and with the possibility but not the necessity of connecting wider, except under good, healthy long term agreements beneficial to both sides....

Ya know I think a lot of human's have a grim lifestyle.  The statistic tonight was, "One in eight adults in the U.K. is a carer for someone with a serious illness."  And did he say "Eight million of us?", I can't remember--maybe I misremember.  But then they flashed up the new projection: By [I can't remember when.  Not tomorrow or next year, but five years?  I can't remember], yes by this year in the not too distant future, the figure would have risen to 1 in 5.

Ya know, there's a bad attitude that let's that happen, something harsh and unforgiving, like a potato field in February, perhaps, when the wind is harsh once more, ach....  I don't think I've heard a single voice on ET that wants to move back to that.  But I don't think that's a genuine reproduction of life under modern tech. farming techniques.  And I don't think the huge food providers follow those modern tech. farming techniques, I think they're more like chemists mixing proportions, swishing liquids, and the product is...food.  Was nature really that violent and dangerous?  I'm sure for some it was, but I reckon for others...and how many are those others?  Where are the statistics?  I suppose they don't all live in one place as they are a product of the construction of social spaces....kcurie!  A diary on magic, please.
