Well-known Christchurch identity Reg Garters sent me the enclosed set of photos, some I’ve seen before.

The cell-phone addiction is now a major issue, leading as it has to spell-binding stupidity. Fortunately, there’s action being taken as governments and individual schools increasingly are banning them.

The latest such report was from Ireland in which a small town’s parents met and all agreed not to allow their off-spring one until they’re 15. This overcame the problem of being a cell-phone pariah.

Mind you, in an ideal world, only 70-year-olds should own them. The boost to efficiency would be enormous.

Energy security is not optional. It’s the foundation of economic strength, social stability, and national resilience. If we are to protect our industries, our households, and our sovereignty, future governments must put fuel and energy security first.
