I don't have any answers. Neither am I aware of anyone else who has any answers.
I know lots of people who "think" they have "all" the answers, and that's the problem.
I suspect the trick is knowing which questions to ask, but I haven't figured it out yet!

Hove
Organisers discover reason for low attendance at Conference.
As Lesley Whittaker, one of the original founders of PEOPLE (which became the Ecology Party, which became the Green Party) put it in 1993:
"Their policies address the problems they perceive. Their approach to government and administration is that of natural anarchists - they rely on the individual's sense of responsibility, on informed co-operation, not compulsion."
Oh dear.
"Theirs is a party appropriate to a far nicer society than the one we live in ..."
Sums up so much of the essential problem we (humans, that is) have, with ourselves.
Ah the great big hand of Green Party democracy...
ReplyDeleteI don't get it...
ReplyDeleteCan you "see" the animated gif?
ReplyDeleteMhm. Does it mean we've all won the national lottery?
ReplyDeletep.s. your comments form doesn't play nicely in my firefox, and I've got no idea why.
It means that every time I set out to do something, like attend conference, the big hand of fate steps in and stops me.
ReplyDeletePS I've changed the comments settings.
