[P2P-F] monbiot on prosperity without growth - Guardian article

Tue Aug 23 11:40:59 CEST 2011

As long as it does not make me come across as an arrogant idiot.. I do write
freely (ie without paying that much attention to my language) to you cause I
know we get each other and you know me a bit..

I know, I guess I just get frustrated with myself more than anything,
sometimes I wish I could get a lobotomy, life would be a lot easier..
