.. the State is not something created by the already powerful. It is, instead, something captured by those who want to become powerful – and who cannot become powerful by any other means.

Without a state, there can be no exploitation. Without a state, the only transactions would be exchanges of value between free individuals from which all parties benefit according to their own conceptions of their interests. It is the State that can steal and kill. It is the State that raises up or calls into being groups that hope to benefit from the use of these powers, and that then constitute a ruling class.

Abolish the State – or severely limit its size and power – and class domination will fall to the ground. The groups that comprise the ruling class will either die like tapeworms in a dead rat, or will be forced to offer their services on terms attractive to willing buyers.

The trouble with Hendry is that he is so stupid that he doesn't have enough brains to realise it. It is a pity, though, that his mummy didn't tell him that money doesn't grow on trees

Hendry may well be stupid (in Norman F. Dixon's sense of incompetence) but money actually does grow on trees if woodland is properly managed. Rotational coppicing, pollarding and harvesting of mature trees can provide a nice little regular unsubsidised income. Firewood, so popular with the wood-burning greenies, can be a by-product of timber production or main-cropped from willow coppices for example. Our ancestors understood that woodlands are not a static resource just to be looked at, walked or cycled through, or kept as a quasi-zoo of native flora and fauna, but the most efficient renewable energy and construction material resource.

Business rates paid by the owners of wind farms will be fed straight back into the local economy, rather than going to the Treasury as at present. And planning reform under the Localism Bill will give councils more powers to reject developers and build their own wind farms for profit.

I know the district where this wind turbine is. It sits next to a very busy junction on the M4. The sort of junction at which the traffic backs up very easily. Many a driver must have slowly passed by and marvelled at its equally leisurely rotation. Then they might have wondered if the vast amount of public money that has gone into this folly might have been better spent on another infrastructure project. It is a local laughing stock as on a windless night the office estate on which it is located has a lot of lights on. Now who is providing the energy for that?

Open a 12 gauge shotgun cartridge remove the pellets, pore in hot candle wax and then replace the pellets and close the cartridge and seal it with the hot wax. ( this gives you a soild shot )
