A refreshing breeze and Monica Barratt

Whilst this miniscule bit of internet 'real estate' holds no illusory beliefs regarding its influence or status (and quite happily continues to serve its humble original function), it is good to know that the much wider world feels the coolness that those behind it regularly experience from standing in the passages of humane awareness. Rejuvenation is vital in a climate where heated debate, abusive coercion and manipulation, intense desperation and relentless delusion is forecast every... single... day.

At the very least, this piece of online media from Victoria, Australia's The Age newspaper should be commended for its gentle soothing effect - in meteorological terms, it is possibly akin to the 'Fremantle Doctor' of Western Australia or the rain during the Indochine monsoon season. On a grander scale, Monica Barratt's collaboration with Ormsby et al may be the sign of a new horizon entirely.

  1. Thanks for your kind words. I did indeed find that all the journalists I dealt with on Friday 27 April were respectable and even-handed. If only all drug journalism could be this way!

  2. Absolute garbage.... Talk about ignoring medical research on addiction rates, health ramifications, linked crime and everything else that goes with the blight that is prohibited drugs. Go and set up your own drug-addled utopia and see how long it lasts.
