I am guilty of having been off air for some time again - but life here has been almost in reverse. The dogs and I have been walking and musing over a life style that could either be prehistoric or post nuclear - this is about as far away from realty life on this island can be. I love it
Yet I am beginning to appreciate that the biggest threat to this Eden is the cultural "trash can" that currently pulls up on our coast. The locals addicted to the idea of Tourism as their passport to the good life (and that is understandable given the lack of industrial creativity encouraged by successive administrations) have bastardised themselves to picking up the Disney "Guys and Chicks" , most of whom use Zimmer Frames to get into the fast lane; these guys have no money and worse will be the first to flee to new sirens without qualms when they appear - Cuba will open within the next five years. Thier contribution consequently is to upgrade the Gamma input in a country that is striving to improve its educational levels.
Meanwhile the world is definitely losing its edge thanks to the Media - imagine a world without radio, TV and Cell phones (any phones) heaven - and oh yes check out Slavlov Zizek while you are about it.
