A good year for Frogs?

I'm no raging greenie

I am a greenie but I am not a raging:-)

Edit: It is a fall back from hippie days...:-)

It's an abused word. Both hippie and greenie actually. Ah, it's the shallow celebrity types who do it as part of some business plan I can't stand. But you noticed that. Such matters deserve not to be trivialised by such hubris circuses, and it's the sensible heads that have to do the clean-up and follow-on. Maybe we could round them all up and put them on 'Survivor Greenie' or somesuch. A win-win right there. They'd get to bask in the glory they crave, and we get to plonk them in the centre of our magnificent Simpson Desert ..... :-)

I think that if we value such natural assets we should price them and pay, specifically to compensate those families and communities whose livelihood we blow away by 'legislative risk'. In Australia over the last three decades I've seen substantial social dislocation, without redress, due to that alone. This has bred a widespread view that any 'green' ideas are bad ideas, and hence immediately disposable.

Back to frogs ..... we have had some lovely rain this week up here in Chum Creek [ it's a hick name isn't it? I have no idea why it was called that circa 1880 ]. So I expect some frog action shortly. Alas Peanut, I would get arrested if I exported, or imported, a frog. But any No.1 hopeful hoe-down crews would always be welcome to cut a rug DownUnda! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) Actually I think some UK mob did do a celebrity survivor show in the Queensland rain forest recently. If I was one of the Green Tree Frogs up there I'd be offended! :-)
