Fluffy,
I thought of you this PM after viewing a news report advocating the consumption of marsupials down under as a partial solution to the methane emissions problem with cattle and it's GW impact. They were advancing the notion that kangaroos and other marsupials emit far lower levels of methane and greenhouse gases, a point I find difficult to reconcile with my experiences. Your friend, Mr. Rudd, seemed fully involved in the debate so I suppose there's good news there. He's no time to be messing about in actually important matters. (g)
I'll have to confess that I missed the day's homily on venality and corruption in your last. Silly me, I just interpreted it as an ad hominem attack on Messrs Bush and Cheney. Upon examining it's broader implications I'm of course reminded that we live in a fallen state for which only the grace of God propitiates. Were that my faith the equal of your own. I'm sure that someone better than I will be along anon to testify to the spiritual cleansing, if not restorative powers, found in the office of the ex-presidency. A typhoon here, a malarial epidemic there, and a photo-op with Bono pave the road to the hereafter like no mere free trade agreement could ever aspire, let alone energy policy. Why, ex-presidents have been able to achieve miracles in even the areas of optical restoration...Jimmy Carter being able to see the basic good will and human decency undergirding the Palestinian people's society. In the meantime, we should of course continue to pray for the redemption of the malevolent souls of Messrs Bush and Cheney.
