Did the tour and bought the shirt. Midland is listed on the shirt.It was another eye-opening experiencing. I am learning a lot on this issue, or more anyway. I'm doing my part bit by bit, and increasing my involvement. I might not have gone, given my mood, but Sue organized it and I wanted to support her if nothing else.There were so few "young" people. I notice that the interesting, important things don't seem well attended by people my age. The youth may have their own forum: I wouldn't know. But where are the people my age? What do they do with their time I wonder. I suppose they're home with children, which is only half my reality.I have an odd life come to think of it.So our homework is to join the coalition and to write to the editor and to our MP. Did you know that the political parties keep track of letters to the editor to note issues of importance to the population? And that for every letter an MP receives, he / she knows there are 800 other voters out there with the same concerns?One man grumbled that letters to politicians never get replies and the speaker quipped, "The ones you don't send sure don't"I'm going to keep a travel mug in my car for now on so I can have guilt free coffee at these sorts of things. I wish there had been ceramic mugs to use - I would have helped with dishes afterward. And I wonder why there were pineapple and kiwi - those aren't local produce and had to be brought by freight.I'm proud Midland was on the tour and pleased Sue made it happen
