The Good....The Government's ID card scheme may be in tatters after the process of tendering out the software suppliers has been put back indefinitely. Great news. We don't need ID cards, we don't need to track our people. Hopefully this will be postponed for so long that the Conservatives will get into power and put an end to the nonsense claims that we need ID cards to fight terrorism and crime. Actually, we need more police and intelligence services to fight terrorism and crime, the money that was going towards ID cards can now be allocated to that.
The Bad....The World Conservation Union has announced that the West African Black Rhino now appears to be extinct. All searches for signs of the sub-species have proved unsuccessful turning up only signs of poaching. This is news that actually makes me feel sad - we are losing so many of our wonderful animal and plant species all in the name of progress. It is thought that there may only be four Northern White Rhinos left, let's cross our fingers and hope they make it.

It makes me sad, too, to hear about the rhino. I have a hard time understanding why people can't just blend with an environment instead of pillaging it. Sigh :)
Thanks for the visit. Finding a new non-smelly social group would be great!. :)
I hadn't heard about the rhinos. That is horrible!
