| Introduction | I’m a book loving middle aged 26 year old embroiled in the sticky web of a life long search for wisdom and truth. I haven't got very far: I'm often naive, and as Pooh says: "I'm a bear of very little brain." However, I keep plodding along the path, hoping one day the pieces will all fit together. Over the years, I have been grateful for all the challenging and often dissenting voices who through writing, campaigning, music and art have helped me feel like a link in the chain of resistance rather than a lone freak in the wilderness. So I felt it was time I put something back and added my own thoughts to the debate. This is a record of my journey. Remember, whilst I am on a path seeking truth, I do not claim to be wise myself. Far from it. I’m just saying what I see, the way I see it. |
