When he tanked Northern Rick, causing the first run on a UK bank since 1878, everyone else was to blame. It was probably the badgers that did that too.

And I hope that every politician who stands for democracy, rather than the brute power of money and arms, has watched it too. This is how to do it.

It's also about landscape chaos. The damage we do to the land's hydrology is layered on top of the damage we do to the atmosphere. Our mismanagement of land commits us to a cycle of flood and drought. We can change this, as explained here. Please read. Thanks.
