Hundreds of thousands of birds are right now, in this very moment being slaughtered on the Rugen island in Germany because of fear of the bird flu. Are there no common sense or reason in this world? I really doubt it. Especially since the Swedish branch of the World Wildlife Fund now in actually supporting Sweden's new law which makes it legal for people to kill wolves only for passing over their property! What has happened? Isn't this organization supposed to protect endangered species? Something more endangered than the wolf is hard to find in Sweden. At least, there is some hope in all the misery. A hunter which in cold calculation killed a wolf last year has been sentensed half a year in prison, even though the media has done whatever they have could to make him come out as a good and innocent person and a victim of a harsh law. He is a cold, regretless killer of an innocent threatened animal, and half a year in prison isn't much with that in mind. But it's at least something, in a world which is only getting darker from a biocentric point of wiev.

When I was growing up in
France, sugar came in the
form of small rectangles
or squares for use in
coffee or tea. You would
buy a kilo of sugar all
wrapped up in a cardboard
box which would, in turn,
fit snuggly in a metal
sugar box. This
