Well writ, both of you…
Stimulating discussion and considered thought that results in positive action must surely be better than sitting here waiting for someone to fix it all for us whilst numbing our brains with pixelpap or tv dinners and the latest musthave unnecessary…
From where I'm sitting, both of you have this much in common at least –
Don't Just Sit There, Do Something About It!
Practical action is far more constructive than being in thrall to wailing prophets or meaningless acquisition.
