Will Italy Move Wine Production to Africa?

Having written about climate change in Italy and discovered academic studies which show it’s more than a myth, I’ve been wondering how, if the trend continues, climate change might affect Italy.

Italy is a Paradise Compared to the UK and the USA

Perfidious Albion Burns

Humanity is short-sighted.  It rarely considers the effects of what it does today upon the future.  Unfortunately what was done yesterday has a nasty habit of fermenting for years and maturing into something distinctly nasty which will, sooner or later, rear its ugly head and bite hard.

Rambling on About Happenings in Italy

Recent world problems and personal problems have found me trying to develop a perspective on these questions. In answer to my questions, I think that religion started as […]

The differences between girls and boys.

Until I actually became a father, I sort of believed that boys and girls started off the same. What I mean is that I believed that girls were encouraged to play with toys aimed at their sex and boys, likewise, played with toys that were intended to turn them into, well, boys. You probably think […]
