Free earth
• Recently I took a friend to Pipiriki and saw a lot of ratepayers' money being spent on road works, then I came 3 acrdss a beat-up farm ute and the farmer, like my brother, was trying keep the wolf from the door. Then I saw a burnt-out van, good for the tourists. Then some pine forests. What with the rumours going on about the mill I wonder what value they have by the time they are processed! Still life must go on. God gave mankind the earth for free, how much would he give us for it now? And how are we going to save ourselves from our own destruction, or do I watch too much TV?
