Oh, no fellow citizens, would we give up our basic facilities (electricity. phone lines enough food and drink, the internet. a decent medical service.) Would we be prepared to give up all that, if we could even out the resources and opportunities to make people all over the world the same? How much personal pleasure and comfort. would you give up to make even one other human's life better. think carefully before you answer thisLesley UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690616440969201231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-15104000037000517212016-10-07T15:20:45.117-07:002016-10-07T15:20:45.117-07:00But, from your last reply, even if we were all wil...But, from your last reply, even if we were all willing to give up all the material and personal liberties we have, would it make a difference to the Syrians and others who are looking to us for protection?Lesley UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690616440969201231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-42431045621135586952016-10-07T15:00:27.755-07:002016-10-07T15:00:27.755-07:00Yes, that does put it all into perspective.

I have an interest in earthquakes, (don't ask!) and I follow them on the US government's site, Oklahoma has daily quakes, and quite frankly, I think Mother Nature is quite capable of providing them without our help.

Our state went from two earthquakes a year to more than a thousand a year because of the disposal of the poison water they inject back into the earth. We now area ahead of California in quakes. It is worse in areas with older structures that haven't been built for quakes. Hope your cities and towns will be able to outlaw it.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-27342635917187766182016-10-07T08:23:03.228-07:002016-10-07T08:23:03.228-07:00In areas where people left school at 15 or 16 and ...In areas where people left school at 15 or 16 and went straight out to work and not many went to university, and still don't, they voted Leave in a big way. They like the idea of independence for Britain and dislike globalisation and would like Britain to be as it was before the EU. Look at the North East and the East Midlands and Wales. Cameron and Osborne told what sounded like lies and rubbish and total insults to add to the feeling of wanting to leave and so you got the big Leave vote. It is simple and if you give people a Referendum this is the sort of thing that happens.
