Sparcs

  Sparcs  are, of course, those of us who set limits to what works well. We can be Narcs too, bless you brother sister friend. My new friend, We are economists who share a love of ecology.  As we agreed at our meeting with Roosevelt and Churchill yesterday (Zalensky, Trump and Putin were doing other things)  Ael and I ( Minister in the Moldavian government, agreed that good ecologists and economists can be the best of friends (which we became yesterday),  Notice how Roosevelt is listening. Our good friend Galbraith would have loved to have been there too, I am sure - even if he only got the chance to try and relieve a few Aussie PMs and PM hopefuls ( there were a few of them) that competition is not the only key driver of a sustainable free thinking, free market system. Sorry Tony! Yes, we Aussie's want to compete and  can do , (both great things) but it's not all about  one of us , The many joyous reminders here at Excel about our clearly shared conse...

Narcs

  NARCS  Negatives allied under responsible citizenship   ( Positives really in the long term  ) A group especially for Mothers and Wives  and to honor them ( after GK Chesterton)  Some caution ( if you like, negativity) is needed to guide the young and inexperienced in particular.    Men can be Narcs too, but most often it's our mothers and our wives (poor darlings) Many Men need to be more narcy with their children because always  playing nice (That great new series on the screen) is disaster writ large for any age.    Setting boundaries is what good families do best (and unfortunately what government's do worst). Help governments do better by joining Sparcs , Narks or ..........your new name  Please add your bits

Some Great moments. Peterson with his eyes closed and a suit to suit

Image
  Naturally, the naysayers would go nowhere in this crowd of mad "Formula One for the future " young people that came here all over the world. ( I loved being amongst the petrol heads there too at Excel ).   Clearly, many of the naysayers are going to hell in handbaskets of their own making; a public service that is not working and as wasters of the productive wisdom of the people will lose their presumed mandate and be thrown out of office.   Yes we all came (hundreds of young Australians) because of Jordan, and we still don't know all the reasons why: which is really so special and weird because those ongoing mystery, inspiration and glory elements are still a bit hidden after 3 glorious but exhausting days together. Nothing is ever perfect, but the perfectness of these moments in history was well established for those with eyes to see it.   We hope those, by watching on screens, YOU get some of that.  The point is , Jordan is reliving, in those be...

Suggestions for Discipline and Discipleship within ARC

As I said to the former deputy PM who led the Australian contingent so well last night :The key audience is simply not here !"  There was amongst the thousands there yesterday ONLY A HANDFUL of people who claim competence in effectively leading the Greens to join a sounder, less panic prone consensus on  wise resource use in our communities. We conservatives have our own conservation competency claims which have historical concrete and effective cultural frames,  SUGGESTION  The first name to coin and collect on in the ARC frame should be Sparcs -- Sustainable Professionals allied for responsible citizenship..  The world really needs that focus and discipline because the commentariat of "what should happen on the ground "MUST be constrained by those who effectively "work the ground"  Which brings me to the next name .  Why ? because to be positive ( and there is a effervescent level of positivity at the moment in ARC ) we need to face the cutting...

Such a lot of right wing ranters

 Yes there is that.  Makes a change from having to put up with same old suck eggs waffle from the never successful whose careless experimentation, ignorance and arrogance(of working ecologies ) is mind numbingly dumb mental torture for many across the West.  Thankfully, for me (a bit of a Narc -see below) , there are plenty of people in the leadership who know the risk of new institutions and that was so wonderfully evident in the first day and the first speakers . Please wish us all well in this ambitious endeavor, Wish the many young people who are there in their hundreds well too  Yes we are a broad church , but we are UNITED over the need to bring competence and responsibility back to those who sit in powerful positions.

It's not all about me.... but to start us off, it is ....all about me .

  Who am I ?   John Modra 0488 219 252  email johnlmodra.blogspot.com Next to my wife, I like my chainsaw and welder best.  As an ecosystem risk and resilience planner, I love to saw apart the physical and chemical components of soil water plant and biological competition and cooperation in order to understand and reintegrate them into managed sustainability actions when reunited . One of the biggest challenges we face as communities is to find a new consensus about conservation and how to do it so that it actually works   ARC ( The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship ) has asserted that this critical quest is NOT a job for dilatants, and I agree wholeheartedly. This is not to deny the important role of observers and other participants but to show how role of those who actually have proved themselves capable by study and effective work in an area can help us all move on with genuine workable agendas,  The public service and political parties too...
