Free enterprise ... is a vastly restrictive system of oligopolistic market manipulation, tied by institutionalized corruption to the greatest munitions boondoggle in history and dedicated to infantilizing the public by turning it into a herd of compulsive consumers.

Theodore Roszak, 1969

This is NOT a "Blog" because I dislike both the word and the usually self serving shite that such things contain. Not that this website isn't full of self serving shite, but it is not intended for you to read and you won't find any RSS or Twatter feeds or FaecesBook links (although if we've actually met in person and have reason to keep in touch you might find me there) and you also won't find it organised like a diary with chronological ordering dominating genuflecting at the altar of the Tyrant Thyme. Instead it is just a random collection of loosely linked and categorised ideas and things I find interesting and thoughts that occurred to me.
