I didn't know the two who were included for their Christian religious activities, but, I think I have a reasonable excuse for that! :D Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-18403116321716668312019-10-18T18:40:22.947+01:002019-10-18T18:40:22.947+01:00Thank you Hazel.

We need space for both sides to speak <br />- and to listen.

More and more I find that those who scream the loudest get the publicly and then somehow get to occupy the moral high ground and this makes me very uncomfortable.<br />Just the other day an adjunct professor from BC did not have her contract renewed at one of our universities because the powers that be (who can't or won't be identified) decided that she was not presenting a balanced view when she did voluntary presentations to school children. Her crime - stating that contrary to popular opinion, polar bears are not endangered - in fact - they are thriving - something that our Inuit population has been telling us for years! In fact, they have asked the Government repeatedly to issue more hunting licenses to control the population! She isn't some nut case - she believes in climate change - she is a zoologist - a top expert in her field and her "crime" seems to be that her facts go against the accepted propaganda. <br />I also take issue with huge crowds of protestors - especially the younger ones - who wear fast fashion, have all sorts of polluting electronics on their person, drink from single use plastic, hit all the fast food outlets afterwards & then leave their garbage for others to deal with - presuming to lecture me! For most it was a day off from class and a chance to to meet up with their friends. I think they would have been better served attending presentations on how to limit their own carbon footprint and then pledging to actually follow through - rhetoric is fine but actions speak louder than words - and even protests.<br />Sorry to rant a bit - the paper has just been full of one thing after another this week that has convinced me that the world has truly gone a bit mad at the moment!<br />Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-3809989291436725442019-10-18T11:01:41.233+01:002019-10-18T11:01:41.233+01:00I am so please Bob is going to be okay.

Our PM is one of those rich, complacent individuals who just think things will just have to wait if they are actually too complicated to handle, e.g. climate emergency, and doesn't like the inconvenience of people making him think about such things. I find him wholly repellent and suddenly find I've never felt like this about a PM before. Will have to work hard to pray to change these feelings and change him! <br />You inspire me by the way you help people daily!x Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.com
