There has been considerable concern along the Peninsula about our recent cluster of teenage depression and suicides. Today’s children are shown TV “science programs” that tell them that our rainforests and our endangered species are dying. They go to school and are told the Earth is dying from global warming, pollution and disease.

The schools tell them that there are too many people on Earth. They come home to learn how we are losing our jobs and maybe our homes. The radio then tells them that the swine flu is a killer and there is a limited supply of protective vaccine.
