Not sure if I'm too late here, but I can't go past @mariannewest's post state of emergency ( link ) It spells out pretty clearly how many of us feel about the world. The environmental issues we are passing on to our kids - along with the health concerns in many countries are major issues and highlighted well in this post.

Also, just want to thank those that have recommended my posts. Much appreciated. For those that liked "The Piano", I have extended it and put a post up. (and it got a Curie vote - woohoo) Not sure yet where the story is going, will start working on Part 4 soon.

Have a great day everyone,

John.
