I though we ( the under 30's at work anyway) should make you aware that no matter what side is right those in the "skeptics" camp are being change managed. You will go through many stages of this but will most likely not make it to the end state of acceptance before you die. Chin up though, we have your children and will make sure they live in a carbon constrained economy. Also take comfort that they will not want to smoke cancer-sticks, they will tolerate non-white australians and refugees, they will not pray to Jesus to save them and they won't believe in an intelligent designer of the universe. Please dont let this stop you from "going down" screaming, we'd have to start reading dilbert or something or *heaven forbid* work in your businesses. Love and kisses ... ;) <p class="reply">[Thanks -- we're saving this comment as a great example of delusional youth "at work". Your arrogance is unbounded by wisdom.

I a bit more so just like to stop by blogs for layout tips and points like that. But you in fact developed a subest that i often care absolutely nothing about exceptionally intriguing. This can be a very good blog to design mine immediately after. I hope you do not mind if i bookmark your websites, in order that i can effortlessly get it once more within the future. Cheers.

Don't expect too much. We Brits don't travel hundreds of miles to share a few beers with people we agree with. The whole point of moving abroad is to get away from each other.
