Politicians have been shown to be dishonest lately with their expenses claims, or at best, greedy.<br /><br />On the brighter side, I work with students and see how many of them are very concerned about the planet and become very informed, wanting to live their lives to help in a positive and sustainable way. This gives me hope.Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317836336358562683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-89821523272902352222010-01-06T18:07:24.550+00:002010-01-06T18:07:24.550+00:00Move over on that "soap-box", sister.

The legal profession used to be so respected, mothers always wanted a son or son-in-law to be a doctor or a lawyer. Now when I hear that someone is an attorney, I just cringe and assume they are dishonest, money-grabbing and speak with no sense of truth. And as to the snow-thing, I live in Utah and while the area that I live in is a low snow area, the Northern part of the state has lots of snow, EVERY year. (Think winter olympics) and yet there are hundreds of accidents, slide-offs and even fatalities with each snow. What are people thinking?!?Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432099926220619209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-6142939800696087792010-01-06T16:59:54.754+00:002010-01-06T16:59:54.754+00:00The answers to all your questions are no.

My eyes are now much more widely open. Trouble is, almost no-one I know believes what I tell them about the manipulation that is going on in the western world.<br /><br />I've largely learnt to laugh at it and poke fun at it in public at every opportunity though: the alternative is too scary to think about.<br /><br />Start counting Brown's 'Goldfishes' every time you see him. That should amuse you for a while...<br /><br />More snow than we've ever had in the 15 years we've been here. It's not exciting any more.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-54799900662985600822010-01-06T15:51:37.089+00:002010-01-06T15:51:37.089+00:00*shakes fist at world in solidarity with Ambermogg...*shakes fist at world in solidarity with Ambermoggie*Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-30405473527846029832010-01-06T15:27:10.696+00:002010-01-06T15:27:10.696+00:00Having studied some media as part of my degree .....Having studied some media as part of my degree ....we were shown how to analyse it. It's made me cynical, cos most reporters have and "angle" to report from. The bare facts wouldn't take up as much room, or air time. So they tell us what they want us to know, and what they think we want to know<br />...sorry got me going now. <br />I suspect we are being fed quite a lot of misinformation, disguised as news.Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608850359975556815noreply@blogger.com
