Millions or billions is more likely. Better (or far worse):

Another war is going to start.
Thousands of men will die.
Thousands? This seems to me to be good ecologically.

Big battles in a small ring:
On the right: FRUGAL LIFE - I'm going to swim 5 kilometres!
On the left: VIDA LOKA / Craziness - Hmmmm ...
And the winner is: ILLUSION - One more [drink] and that's it!

Forget the stereotypes. Being the literate, educated folk that you are, you’ll already know that librarians are sexy. If you’re in any doubt, let the most famous playboy in history persuade you. The sexual prowess of Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt is so legendary that the term ‘Casanova’ has become the generic shorthand for any charming, gallant philanderer. It just so happens that after testing out a variety of professions – he was variously a secretary, soldier, preacher, alchemist, gambler, violinist, spy and lottery operator – Casanova settled down as a librarian to a duke in Bohemia. He understood that knowledge is the ultimate turn-on, and librarians are its gatekeepers. [Thanks to Daily Maverick Newsletter, 13-09-03]

Global Hypocrisy! Alligator tears from Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa:

For six years we gave the world an opportunity ... but we have waited long enough.

Not like us ... who in order to be who we are ... have only waited thousands of years.


Today's announcement to exploit Yasuni or not.


"Uncontacted peoples are not in the Yasuni." Equador Ministry of Justice.
We sent Tweets, Facebook messages, Whatsapp ... but they never got back to us!

Meanwhile, somewhere in Amazonia:

It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry. The wintertime is coming. The windows are filled with frost. I ran to tell everybody but I could not get across. I wanna be your lover baby, I don' wanna be your boss. Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost.                                                                                 Bob Dylan.

 

Dominant Elite to People: EAT SHIT! (Vixe! interjection: Virgem Maria!) Congratulations! I knew you had escaped misery into the middle class! (Égua interjection: mare, slang 'slut')

 

Ana Claudia liked big strapping boys, but missed someone mature for conversation.
Isabel liked older men ...

There's never gonna be another wave of growth for the middle class except maybe suicide ... a-and ... who gives a fuck about marijuana? Justin Trudeau is a fricken ringer!

 

Canada is categorically confirmed as 'The Great White North' (Eh?):

And if that don't convince ya, try:
    Half of Canadians say government snooping 'acceptable': poll.
    Majority of Canadians want to loosen marijuana laws: polls.

(Just the headlines will do.)

 

... unemployed in retirement, and you?

Retired to unemployment.
