"They
said there'd be snow at Christmas, they said there'd be peace on earth"
Spare a thought for the 60 million war- and environmental refugees
there are in the world at the moment.
What are environmental refugees? Whole populations displaced and on the move as there is no longer water available for hundreds of miles and coastal countries that are now under water during their growing season and have nothing to eat.
The unfair fact is that it is western excessive consumption and fuel-heavy habits and habitats that have caused a lot of it, so I'm thinking I want to support them in some way? Does anyone know of a charity theu know to be doing great work?

Overall, I am hacked off to focus on the fact that all society's
necessities and problems are addressed by non-governmental organizations
and public money just circulates in an economy of trade deals, massive
building and meat and other unethical contractors and of courses weapons
testing and building (in Ireland and England, respectively). I thought
government was for governance. But maybe it is like that amusing
consideration, 'if kings rule kingdoms, just speculate on who rules
countries' ?! Makes me laugh whenever I think of that! I went to a talk a
couple of weeks ago from a historian Symon Hill on World War 2. He
showed that because that war was considered justified against Hitler,
somehow every other war since has been considered justified and
necessary, by most people. Why complacently accept that when we know
that agendas have always been greedy more than protective of democracy? I
will attach my transcript of the talk.
