Please Note: These URLs used to be given in full as hyperlinks. However, due to "the linkrot problem", which is now an international annoyance in cyberspace, many links will now be rendered as text only. No apologies for this... it is simply too much pointless work trying to keep dead links out of a large links collection. Any hyperlinks seen below are simply the survivors of the linkrot problem to date. If any are discovered to be dead or otherwise useless, they will be labelled "error 404, not found".

Changes to come in your future

"The economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment, not the other way round." Gaylord Nelson (a founder of modern environmental movement).
This table is a new feature for this domain. The webmaster and several of his friends are convinced that lifestyles are going to change in the foreseeable future, whether we like it or not. Some changes to how we live can be guided by choice, other likely changes are going to be imposed by nature and circumstances. Some valued old notions are going to have to be discarded, but which ones?
Here is a good theme. It's from an environmental activist. Barbara Finch (January 2009), of Armidale NSW Australia - where this website lives - via Gaylord Nelson - "The economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment, not the other way round, and we can't put the environmental crisis on the back burner." Barbara Finch.
So what happens when we put concern about environmental issues on the front-burner? (Remarks here are by the Editor unless otherwise indicated)

Bush, The (Australia): Living in The Bush: Expect a huge rethink on how and why to live in the bush after the 2009 fires in Victoria. The culture of living in the bush will change, maybe dramatically. It will also become more expensive, which alone will represent a cultural change. Expect more stringent town planning regulations (that's right, town planning regulations for life in the bush). Expect professional and volunteer firefighters to suffer fools less gladly, and to speak their mind. Who knows, dead wood may find its way back into a resurrected institution, the winter's night open fire in the living room? (Using "modern technology" no doubt.)

Conservatism: "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith, economist (1908-2006) (From Wordsmith)

Environmentalism: "Myth: we have to save the earth. Frankly, the earth doesn't need to be saved. Nature doesn't give a hoot if human beings are here or not. The planet has survived cataclysmic and catastrophic changes for millions upon millions of years. Over that time, it is widely believed, 99 percent of all species have come and gone while the planet has remained. Saving the environment is really about saving our environment - making it safe for ourselves, our children, and the world as we know it. If more people saw the issue as one of saving themselves, we would probably see increased motivation and commitment to actually do so." - Robert M. Lilienfeld, management consultant and author (b. 1953) and William L. Rathje, archaeologist and author (b. 1945)(From Wordsmith)

Internet, The: When things seem as though they are unravelling, expect to find that internationally, the Internet will be invaluable for transmitting news, evidence of successful coping mechanisms in specific regions, tactics to employ, gossip re strategies of social ostracism visited on environmental despoilers etc. Be aware that such information transmission and sharing was impossible in pre-Internet days, and be grateful.

Patriotism: "Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, 'the greatest', but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is." - Sydney J. Harris, journalist and author (1917-1986) (From Wordsmith)

Privacy: In the light of likely trends generally, expect less of what used to be called privacy, and more registration of your details by more organisations. Also expect more widespread lack-of-privacy problems, such as identity fraud.
