    This is what happens when food, shelter and clothing are no longer priorities, probably a symptom of an affluent society that lost touch with reality and the necessities of life. Survival is taken for granted by some people in the world.
    It's a different world out there for sure. Had the misfortune to spend a few hours in a Brandon shopping mall last week. Lots of overweight people, young and old, waddling around just looking for something to spend their money on. Whole stores that contained nothing I would ever use or desire.
    Weird - then I returned to my hermit life, it's like we are on different planets.

        I end up at the mall a couple times a year too. I enjoy watching people, I shouldnt judge by appearances I know but It is a single digit percentage of people that I consider normal.... like me. So i guess that makes me abnormal? So many overweight, lots just look like they couldnt tie their shoes, lots so covered in ink and piercings you aren't sure what you're looking at, lots that are LGBTQ whatever and making sure they look the part. Just wow, I'm sure they all look at me and wonder wtf is he about too. Definately appreciate the friends and neighbors I got!

          Shite! Go to the midway at your local fair or Walmart after dark. There’s an element out there you never knew existed.

              You'd be tempted to say its strange "how the other half (of society) lives" but it's much of the other 98%. White, middle aged guys stopping in at what we consider a farm supply town in the heart of farm country. Yet when we stop and look the vast majority of the population there does not reflect us, our values or our way of life. Then you think about wider society encompassing the large cities of the country and you realise how fringe we, and our views are, to mainstream society.

                dont disagree but also doesnt mean our views are actually wrong.

                if society had some views and values like most country folk have be a better place

                  I hear there are rumblings that cattle producers could be getting an extra carbon tax and it will be given to the pulse producers.

                    Wonder if the queen’s herd (elk,moose, and deer) are going to pay this tax too? They have no problem eating the same diet as my cows on my dime to boot. Most of them amount to destructive animals that just feed the coyotes eventually vs my herd that provides natural unprocessed protein for the masses.

                    Maybe I could feed a couple pounds of peas and offset the “damage” of my evil herd😉

                      Its quite sad isn’t it that the world can’t seem to tell where CO2 really comes from. They say over europe there is over 20000 planes in the sky at any given time.

                          Catchy graphic but apparently aviation only accounts for 2% of human caused CO2 emissions.

                              Yeah, we're heavy hitters on the emission front given that we only account for 0.5% of the world population.
