oh dont worry , I dont just respond to it on RF , you have to chalenge thinking where ever you meet it ! ....when ever the oppertunity arrises ! ....no Im not a plaqard waving fully paid up Green party menber because the Green party round here are the biggest bunch of meat munching organic beer swilling nimbies you ever did meet , ....
Grrrrrrr, ... dont even let me think about it , ....at the moment there aplications popping up everywhere over here for monsterous industrial chicken units , .....so there have been moves afoot to get these stoped , most objections are on enviromental grounds , ...no one wants their pretty little veiw dirtied up , ..and lots of little nice people suddenly care about fish and newts , ....so I just do my reaserch and come up with some genuine well thought out objections , it is better to go befreind a politician and a planing officer , speak reasonably with them , ..gather plenty of information and get it into the right places , ...rather than rant and rave out on the street , .....I save my ranting and raving to wind up some of the local nimbies ...''who ask excuse me please will you sign our partition '', .....NO! ...... ''oh why not , dont you care about the enviroment ? '' , .......so I politely ask , ..which do you care about most the enviroment or the chickens ?, ....''Oh we care about both '' , ...do you eat chickens I ask , .....''yes but not ones from battery farms '', ....ok you give up eating chickens and I will sign your form , ......I dont even bother to tell them that I have allready submitted a my objection letters , ...
....and one can allways get an anonomous face book page and rev up the local councilors a bit , ...
it is difficult to change people or to chalenge their ideas but it dosent hurt to make them think , ...who knows if one person changes his her attitude then it has been worthwhile
