[kj] Jaz would appreciate this article

[Juliet Pleming]

I'm not sure what the original article was that you thought Jaz would
appreciate, but I think he would appreciate your joke about the jewish
kamakazi pilot. That could give you an opening line with him if you're
stuck for something to say the next time you see him - or you could just
maintain the strong and silent act you mentioned before and not shatter
any illusions or whateva.

I do think you are a bit presumptuous, Peter, to talk of 'we' when
referring to the UK and US in relation to the giving of aid to other
parts of the world. Bit of a self righteous stance, I'd say. Do you
personally give aid to the third world? 

Are you just a wind up merchant, or do you really believe what you say?


It is all a lot more complicated than just simply saying that the third
world owes 'us' money. 'We' in the 'civilised world' use nearly all the
world's resources. Is it something like 2% of the people (the U.S.)
using 90% of the world's resources? I don't remember the exact figures
but Jaz could tell you, as he told me on his birthday, in his hotel room
(probably shouldn't have said that but couldn't resist it).

Not everything can be converted into monetary terms. 

'We' are destroying the world at an incredible rate. 

It's great to be back out of lurkerdom. Have you missed me, honey?

P.S. Peter, I can't resist pointing out what a remarkable likeness there
is physically between you and Liam Nielson (spelling?) He was in
'Shindler's List' and has just made 'Kinsey'. Honestly, you could apply
to play his body double. Which leads me on to the subject of what DO you
DO all day besides run this show, and go to the shop for Chunky KitKats?

  It has never been a case of too many people on the planet, but
of its resources being hoarded into too few hands, and then
blaming those who are cut out. 
  Not enough conscience involved when it comes to trade.

As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched picasso 
visit the planet of the apes
