Welcome
to Lino’s Place
That’s me –
sitting in my office – probably working on my latest project.
I’m very concerned
about the state of the world and spend way too much time trying to work out a
way that I can help move towards a sustainable society.
Unfortunately,
most of society lives in a dream world where everything is great as they
sleepwalk towards catastrophe. This site
is aimed at informing those that wish to wake up, and help society evolve from
where it is now onto a more sustainable path.
My aim is to help people understand the big picture, rather than just
the part of it that they are informed about.
For all it’s faults, I believe that democratic government is the
best system humanity has yet devised to deal with the problems we have created
for ourselves and the only one where ordinary citizens can have their say. The quality of democratic government is
totally dependant on the quality of understanding of the electorate. I hope that this site is helpful in promoting
better understanding of the issues of the day.
