Question

It is an ancient albatross
and she is the last of three.

With outspread wing and frozen eye
what does she say to thee

as she hangs upon a string?
- A lighthouse door was open wide! -


Her room is blue, her guests are few, -
and they wait within the ring.


The spreading of plutonium particles around the world over the next 245,000 years will bring disaster in the wake of disaster, and extinction in the wake of extinction. Maybe the ants will survive to tell the tale.

  4. Hello Devika,

    The extinctions will come about through illness and mutation - as the main problem for the mutants in the higher life forms is that they will lose the ability to breed.

    I strongly suspect that the amount of plutonium released into the ocean and air is far greater than they would have us believe and that is why they turned off the detectors on the West coast of the USA and in other places.

    There are 600 nuclear reactors and the British govt have just announced plans to build another half dozen. But in the meantime the teachers are having to take cut backs. Presumably some of the money 'saved' can be used to pay the nuke boys :)

    The half life of this radiation is 245,000 years.

    There are some kind of mutant ants living on an island in Dublin Bay. I wonder why that is?

  5. Yes, all sadly true, Gwilym...calamities on one side, life going on on another...we are fated to be both spectators and participants...left with only a hope for a better humanity,

  6. Whatever she says Gwilym, it will be too late.

  7. Devika . . .and we live in interesting times!

    Pat, so what's the problem? Is it anything to do with the fact that less than 15% of the world's people 'own' 100% of the world's assets - i.e. everything. And an even smaller, perhaps 5%, number 'own' most of that. It seems the more 'they' get the more 'they' want. We in the UK have no money for the public sector workers but bottomless pockets for the City and its cronies! People who will grab what they can even if it means trashing the planet and killing and maiming millions who happen to get in the way.

  8. Maybe the Government's Fukushima emails coverup at last revealed in the Guardian will get rid of one or two of their ilk. They'd walk if they were real men.

  9. And how many involved in all those 100's of MPs caught expenses fiddling actually finished up behind bars? Just one, wasn't it?
