ARE YA GONNA GO MY WAY?

An update from Bali, where we've put the fate of the world in the hands of a bunch of bureaucrats. In good faith, we're trusting them to somehow put aside their nitpicking concerns, and navigate a route to a future global climate change agreement to be signed in Copenhagen in 2009.... Its proving to be quite a task, especially if you take the word of one government leader, who said: "Before they can draw a map, they need to figure out which way is North". Overheard in the washroom after: "At this rate, their Bali roadmap isn't even gonna get to bloody Denpasar and back, let alone Denmark." Scary. But as the hours go by, increasingly true. While someone tries to get our collective governments a blinkin' compass in the 48 hours they have left, I ask myself: was this worth going without chicken rice for two weeks? Art XXX
