Oh, I am house-hunting...
And while house-hunting, I went into a lefty bookshop, and read half of "No Logo" by Naomi Klein. She makes some interesting points about reduced contributions of corporation tax to national budgets and also about developments in marketing identity politics and marketing politicians - which can seem positive on the surface but sinister in the bigger context. Joined up thinking - stuff that itches but you can't scratch it.

What's with the capacity to monitor threat thing? Uh, ok, I you-tubed it.
Honor, Clarity, Permission, Welcome, Sharing.

Hum, I'm not sure about all this. Most people who I met on my travels during the past week seem to work off scripts - apart from groups of older women who work off nudges (smile). There was a large social group of older women in and out of the café that I used as a base who were fascinatingly responsive to each other's body language codes. But the rest was blah!

I sometimes wonder whether politicians deliberately create states of social alienation, so that people shut down into whatever individual script makes them feel better about themselves?
