was an American stand-up comedian. He was also an actor and author,
and he won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history
is that we have taller buildings
but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families,
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge,
but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness.

Ashley House planning applications - The deadline for letters or emails of objection to reach the Council is 6th November
Simon writes "As a neighbour to Ashley House and one who was very
involved in the previous 'SAFE' campaign to stop the expansion proposed
in 2004, I and many others are very concerned about the new proposals
for further building and car parking plus a 13' security fence, as per
applications submitted last week.
Whilst it is recognised that local employment and new management at Care
Principles may have an influence on people's acceptance of Ashley House,
there is still a strong sense of the massive effort and strain sustained
in the build up to the 2006 Appeal and that we should not readily give
up all that was achieved in terms of preventing expansion even if apparently
now being sought by 'creep'. There is also still a strong fear of who
is inside the unit or the type that could be housed there in the future.
The main points of objection can be summarised as follows:
1. The proposed 13' fence will again raise the spectre of 'fear of crime'
as it will be a constant visual reminder of the secure aspect of the site.
2. There is no current legal requirement for such a security measure (even
though this is what Care Principles are saying) and no finalised plans
to introduce one, at least none in the public domain.
3. The fence and new building would impact, in an unacceptable way, on
the rural landscape for those with views of the site, and for local walkers
and vehicles on the lanes.
4. The plans do represent an attempt at expansion 'by creep' which is
an attempt to overturn all that was achieved by the massive local effort
from 2004-6.
I don't think we have long in which to act, so your urgent consideration,
as always, would be appreciated.
The deadline for letters or emails of
objection to reach the Council is 6th November. For information, the planning
application numbers are:
09/00558/FUL - building and car park
09/00557/FUL - fence
