Comment on: Blog Post 'INTRODUCTION': actions within one's local community. It is only then that the computers and even books will really begin to nourish us in a way that is more benevolent than it is destructive. Oral cultures are necessarily storytelling cultures, which are inevitably place-based cultures - because the stories that thrive and live in this valley will be very different from the ones being told on the other side of this mountain range. Rejuvenating the primacy of the sensuous world - renewing our solidarity with the more-than-human locale - is only going to happen by rejuvenating oral culture. Face to face storytelling, and all the things that go with it. Rituals, community festivals, collective and good-hearted initiations of the young men by the older men, and of the young women by the elder women, community celebrations honouring the seasonal changes.

Comment on: Blog Post 'VISION for 2020 ...': t because it gave an unusually direct view of how the British were seen by others. An editorial in the London Times on July 14th 1942 suggested that it should become a best seller which - "ought to be aquired by British readers in quantities unequalled even by the many works of Edgar Wallace or Nat Gould " Perhaps slightly tongue in cheek, the writer compared the pamplet to the works of Irving, Emerson & Hawthorne, all writers who had tried to interpret Britain to an American audience, and commented that - "None of their august expositions has the spotlight directness of this revelation of plain common horse sense understanding of evident truths " -which no doubt rang in Ed Murrow's ears - as he flew on Allied bombing raids in Europe during the war, providing additional reports from the planes as they droned on over Europe - following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour.President Bush in his interview with the London Times - was reported to have said that: "I am under firm instructions from my wife to pick up a copy of the pamphlet" …; Added by Michael Grove at 14:38 on May 8, 2020

Comment on: Blog Post 'ALL "ROADS" ....': Boeing 747 land at Heathrow after I had guided it onto approach from London Radar, which was situated then on the north side of the airport. Whether or not the delayed take-off of the return flight, due to mechanical failure, was a harbinger of things to come it was this exact same plane that was lost in the horrific accident at Los Rodeos Airport, Tenerife, which resulted in - the worst air crash ever, when a KLM 747 smashed into this self same PanAm 747 on the runway in March 1977. It was during the time between these two events that Linnie & I were both happy for me to be seconded to the Eurocontrol upper airspace agency in the early 1970s prior to the UK becoming a member of the EEC - because of our commitment to the idea of a union of the peoples of Europe - but we soon, even then, became very aware of the burgeoning bureaucracy of that system and the corruptive payments that the EEC were making to the likes of bargees travelling to and fro across borders to claim "subsidies" several times over - without a shed of cargo on board. As an Air Traffic Radar Controller with the specific task of keeping aircraft at least 5miles and 1000ft apart it was certainly a wake up call to realise that each of the nationalities in Eurocontrol had a different common-sense attitude towards the task in hand - despite the fact English was the only language of communication for air traffic movements. The next 3 years or so of living with the peoples of Europe could not have been bettered but it was eventually the dissolution of those very people with the European Project, themselves, that influenced our decision to return to the UK - and we have never regretted that decision despite many subsequent trips to places throughout Europe and return visits to the friends that we made. …; Added by Michael Grove at 12:23 on March 19, 2013
