money_greedLET us return to our sheep comes from the French language and is very famous as 'revenons nos moutons'. It may mean that we should get back to the simple life for life became very complicated during the last few years.

When did life become complex? I suppose it began when the greed for money descended upon us. It descended upon some more than others. It fuelled the most basic instincts in us.

ICHAEL Collins marched in through the gates of Dublin Castle on January 16, 1922. The English army marched out.
There are two different stories concerning this event. In one, a fussy official, perhaps the Viceroy, Lord FitzAlan, is supposed to have said, 'You're seven minutes late, Mr. Collins'. Collins replied, 'We've been waiting 700 years, you can have the seven minutes'.
In the other, James McMahon, the helpful Under Secretary, said, 'We're glad to see you Mr. Collins', to which in a west Cork accent he responded, 'Ye are like hell boy'!

EEP beneath us a monster grumbles. We live on a dangerous planet. On the surface it all looks serene and beautiful. But at the heart of it all is a massive liquid mass of lava, turning and swirling around. It is better not to dwell on this. You might not sleep nights.

Periodically the monster grumbles and when it does it spews up smoke, poisonous dust and lava.

The earth is unstable. The further you enter the warmer it becomes. If you go down far enough you will frazzle. Thus if you had a proper pipe system beneath your home and properly plumbed you would be warm forever. When oil becomes scare we will move to this system but at present we are too lazy and comfortable.
