...Lauding high-profile "Heroes of the Environment" is one thing. But when the worst of the world's pollution is caused by industrial activity, why not identify the movers and shakers who are pressuring business to lift its game? The world guru on environmental accounting, Prof. Rob Gray, of the University of St Andrews, Scotland, would be a good start. David Macklin, Adelaide...

Meanwhile, you can abuse, torture, murder and rob the nation's people at will, as has happened on so many occasions in the past century. Is morality applicable only on a small scale? We get the politicians we deserve, goes the saying. But do the gentle, life-revering Buddhists of Burma and Tibet deserve the thugs who control...
