“In times of war, as everyone knows, who has lived through one, or talked to soldiers when they are allowing themselves to remember the truth, and not the sentimentalities with which we all shield ourselves from the horrors of which we are capable ... in times of war we revert, as a species, to the past, and are permitted to be brutal and cruel. It is for this reason, and of course others, that a great many people enjoy war. But this is one of the facts about war that is not often talked about.” PeopleKnowsWarReasonFactsPastRememberCoursesEnjoyHorrorCapableSpeciesSoldierGreat MenAllowingBrutalShieldsSentimentality Author:Doris Lessing
“Too often, the pastoralist blames the weeds and seeks a chemical rather than a management solution; too seldom do we find an approach combining the sensible utilisation of grasshoppers and grubs as a valuable dried-protein supplement for fish or food pellets, and a combination of soil conditioning, slashing, and de-stocking or re-seeding to restore species balance.” PastBalanceApproachSolutionsManagementBlameSpeciesFishesValuableCombinationSoilWeedChemicalsSensibleConditioningProteinSupplementsCombiningPermacultureStockingsGrasshoppers Author:Bill Mollison
