Superb summary of how the Global Market destroys life from the New Internationalist.  Required reading for anyone still believing in conventional economics and economic growth.

just back from holiday in the uk. had a great time visiting family in norfolk and then at the big green gathering which was wonderful as always. rob has a great post about the pirate ship. as a lover of beer and cider, and a supporter of the climate camp a highlight for me was the last chance saloon (excellent photos on the link). last year i avoided the bar til sunday. this year i made sure i went there every lunchtime

lots of photos on picasa soon.
