    On the other side of the wildly spinning 'witchcraft' coin; where we choose to believe in things that aren't really there at all because it suits us; there's the fact that we ignore or choose not to believe in harsh reality of things that are really there, like the consequences of our civilisation on the planet's ecosystems.

    I heard a twerp on the BBC this morning, a highly-placed elite journalist, who thought that whilst it was okay to address climate change, there was too much doom and gloom around. After all our system had provided us with levels of comfort and material welfare that were unprecedented and for more people than ever before.
