Cosy up

How much notice do you take of your Dad's opinions?  Seriously... or your Mum's opinions or your partner's or your sibling's or even someone you respect who's older than you?
I'm asking, because a very good article in The Ecologist, which I think deserves to be widely read, brings a new light to this question.  It's succinct, readable, and when I got to the section headed "It's the money, stupid" in bold font.... even I was bowled over by the length of the list of politicians.
Head over to "Nuclear power trumps democracy" by Donnachadh McCarthy. He is a former Deputy Chair of the Liberal Democrats. Here's the link http://www.theecologist.org/blogs_and_comments/commentators/2587477/nuclear_power_trumps_democracy.html

Well, that's reason enough for me, but there is another cogent article, this time by the editor of the Ecologist, OliverTickell, about keeping the U.K's status as a WMD (weapons of mass destruction) state and about tritium production. It's entitled "Bombs Ahoy! Why the UK is desperate for nuclear power"
I prefer "Peace on earth. Good will towards men." Do some politicians miss out those words when they sing the carol?
