Business as usual

Another beautiful morning and a gentle 25 minute run through the sweet-scented woods.
In contrast, more and more shit is hitting the fan as accusations and counter-accusations fly around between senior UK politicians, senior police officers, and the various newspapers controlled by News International. All very sordid and tedious, but giving the rest of the world a welcome schadenfreude distraction from their own woes.
On the radio this morning I heard a Hindu cleric suggesting, essentially, that all the beings on the planet have an entitlement to a share of its resources, based on modest need, and that human need should be in harmony with that of other creatures, rather than dominant. Obvious really, and until we achieve it then, arguably, all the higher profile human achievements won't have amounted to more than a firework display.
