Interesting Approcah to tackling Global Warming

http://www.holisticmanagement.org/n9/about/carbon.php The fabulous thing about sequestering carbon in grasslands is that you can keep on doing it forever – you can keep building soil on soil on soil... perennial grasses can outlive their owners; they're longer-lived than a lot of trees, so the carbo...

Funny TV Show

Maybe Brits don't get US humour, but I quite like what is on HBO.

My friend downloaded the first hole series. Pretty good stuff!

Anyway, worth a look:

Obama Conspiracy Theories

Anyone seen the crap put out by the looney left and right in America? "Obama is a Communist" "Obama is a foreigner" "Obama is a Muslim" Accusations have been made before like this, for sure. But it is the conspiracy theory that he is backed by the Saudis etc that is lau...

Re: it's a long way back to aussie

What Australians hate is the UK media. Worse than the French media.

Nah, no one could be that bad!

We heart you guys as a nation.

Well done, but those scrums wasted a lot of time of good old fashion running rugby!

Is the pommy governemnt crazy as well?

Here is what the Australian Government does to fuel prices. I know your excise is much higher, but is it this complicated and stupid? Artifically raise crude prices to Tapis price levels Make almost half of fuel costs tax. Place egregious resource rent tax on firms which can produce fuel cheaper tha...

Re: A genuine threat to real democracy in Australia

You get choice in the good sold. They are merely distributors. They use market power over producers more likely than consumers. The competition exists between the various types of products which are vigourously marketed. The best way to ensure more competition is to end static welfare analysis of ma...

Re: A genuine threat to real democracy in Australia

Free trade gives you a choice, by definition. You prefer the expensive, shoddy crap made in sheltered workshops? Very few companies that can generate large profits operate solely domesitcally. Even a small farmer operates under the "export or perish" rule. We have such a small market and a...

Re: A genuine threat to real democracy in Australia

The point is....buyer awareness......and just one question......we may have choices....but how much choice?

You luddite, you are just against free trade. You actually don't care about this voting, welfare and electioneering scam. You just want to be poor. "What you need is your namby pamby arze meeting my size ten boot ........ several times in rapid succession." [-X What you are forgetting is t...

Re: A genuine threat to real democracy in Australia

Another thing about free trade is you are free to buy whatever you like gnads. Those toys will be much safer, and it has little to do with coercion of manufacturers here. The Chinese need to rebuild their customer base. Think about how idealistic and conformist kids are. Do you really want them sett...

Re: A genuine threat to real democracy in Australia

Sherri, What matters is if they are coerced to work there. I don't trust the Chinese Government. They are former communists trying to hold onto their dictatorship, and they have been liberalising their economy so it doesn't fall apart like the USSR since the late seventies. They are really parasitic...

Re: A genuine threat to real democracy in Australia

You are an imbecile gnads. The dynamic gains from trade outweigh the static gains (by about 90%). The static gains are that prices fall, output increases and real wages increase and so do exports. The poorest of society benefit the most from free trade. We had lead paint in baby cots before free tra...

There is no need for princes, presidents, popes, potentates, princeps, primus inter pares, patriarchs, prelates or principals, only a modest, limited, effcient Government.
