My observations
I feel compelled to commend the stunning photos of Paul Knight who offers those of us who care about the beautiful natural environment we are blessed to enjoy, at 74 I still feel the call of the wild & Paul fulfills part of this with his mastercraftsmanship, I am saddened & dissapointed with some of those who do not share the same respect for our piece of paradise but chose to pollute & despoil it
In 1884 a famous red indian chief SEATTLE { the Washington state city is named after him} gave an impationed speech to the then state governor Stevens part of which he made the following statement about the environment "Take only memories & leave only footprints"
So appropriate today
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
