On "doing something"...

***

I have often been accused of inaction. My defence is that my inaction is positive – I am resisting the endless push for us to “do something”.

...about “climate change”
...about “poverty”
...about “third world debt”
...about wicked property developers

...about an endless stream of noble causes. And politicians have “done something” – precisely the only something we can do.

...pass laws and regulations
...raise taxes

And has this “solved” these problems? Nope.
And will it solve these problems? Nope.
