This is outrageous. But then the even sadder fact is that we haven't progressed at all. We often shake our heads in disbelief at what happened in history, only to find it's still happening today on an even grander scale. When will we ever learn?Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-71418959284864671922017-03-05T08:34:19.525+00:002017-03-05T08:34:19.525+00:00Hello Fran !

For most people it is very hard to understand the lack of compassion in this money led, corporate world that we live in. Sometimes, those of us that try to fight it, in our own small way, feel like we are swimming against the tide and it becomes exhausting. I am very glad that I am not young but I do worry about the future of our children and grandchildren. I often force myself to concentrate on the good and the beautiful because surely that will win out in the end.<br />A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-30105751396243933642017-03-05T07:47:03.818+00:002017-03-05T07:47:03.818+00:00Mel, thank you for your lovely message.

I intend to spend this afternoon on a major back blog reading exercise!<br /><br />This post of yours here is very disturbing, but unfortunately not surprising.

The only movement is due to technological development. If that was removed we would be back into the Stone Age and I say this because <br />we are still killing each other, the wars continue and famines plus homelessness through out the world still exist to taunt us.

Progress is not always a benefit, at least not for everyone. We haven't come far, have we? We are still letting other people create a way of life for us, that they will never have. Recently a book was released here in Sweden about the slavetrade in our west indian colonies in the 18th century. People say that it's good to know we have left all that behind us, I'm not so sure that we have. <br />You bring new light to it with this article, Melvyn, your friend is courageous, the truth must be told!!Fairtraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517527131786415943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-85777404160245081802017-02-27T18:49:05.880+00:002017-02-27T18:49:05.880+00:00If you are in the Dark Age then so are we :-)If you are in the Dark Age then so are we :-)A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-34739761752892515262017-02-27T18:34:44.056+00:002017-02-27T18:34:44.056+00:00Still have a flip phone...I guess I'm in dark ...Still have a flip phone...I guess I'm in dark ages.<br />Coffee is onpeppylady (Dora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01649272822470007714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-9149135035869593342017-02-27T17:10:21.502+00:002017-02-27T17:10:21.502+00:00It was news to me too Toni.
