Keep the comments coming

I was delighted by the recent comments made on this blog in response
to my post about renationalisation. I'm learning a lot about how all
this works and it certainly seems that the more opinionated posts
generate the most interest.

It's not hard to imagine why. Me bleeting out about the minute details
of my life is not that interesting, I can hardly bring myself to read
it! Whereas the opinionated ramblings... well they give one more to
get a hold of. I am delighted that people take the time to read the
blog and to comment so please keep it coming. I don't expect everyone
to agree with me but am passionate about the debate.

My intention when I'm in BA is to give this blog more of a focus. I'll
continue with the narrative pieces (more for my sake as a log really)
but also intend to offer opinion and to start publishing my
photographs in a more structured way. I need to give it some more
thought about how that will work and will write more about that in due
course.

But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

Yesterday Chris and I took a long stroll. Along the way we came across and area (just near Abasto) with thousands of shops selling store manequins. It was very strange indeed. In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
