I was so looking forward to it. They sho...Oh dear. <br />I was so looking forward to it. They showed the trailer last week when I went to see Michael Moore's new film which I thought was a courageous piece of journalism - especially the courage shown by those who refused to budge from the closed-down factory and who re-occupied the bank-owned home. Following the film I stumbled across the interesting statistic that the bankers, who never seem to learn, were up to $2,000 in hock to every person on the planet. The image of Moore with his crime scene tape fastened across the forecourt of the Bank of America and his megaphone pronouncement 'A crime has been committed here. I have come to make a citizens-arrest,' will stay with me forever. One day the truth will out. Meanwhile the homeless and jobless, the people of New Orleans, the people of Flint, the people of Obama, will do what they can.<br /><br />ps- George, before Xmas two 'experts' told me the computer was bust and I must part-exchange it for a new one. So, I went to a friend of a friend who fixed the so-called bust computer for 50 euro. <br />All the best to you and to C and to your Dad for 2010. And George, I never thought of your ultra-tidy system with the washing-up. I deduce that you have the clear mind of one who can understand railway station announcements. It will serve you well. <br />Meanwhile I go on in my darkness like a car without headlights into the unknown year.<br />George, I'm sure I speak for many, when I say it's been our great pleasure to savour your excellent blog and share your thoughts, visions, ideas, poems, experiences (high and low) and all the other stuff over the last 12 months. Power to your mouse!Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.com
