Come of it!! Does this guy (Bazza Wigmore) really believe that
Sting is sounding out because he wants to be more popular!?
With young kids on the list I think this kind of discussion is
important and it would be great if some people in the know could
enlighten us more ie. local Brazillians. The problem with the
"Internet" is that anyone can write any load of rubbish; however, it
should not be allowed to pass through in silence, especially by a
bunch of plant lovers.
The quote below demonstrates that Wigmore is a fool.
""One of the simple, but very important, facts is that
the rainforests have only been around for between
12,000 and 16,000 years. That sounds like a very long
time but, in terms of the history of the earth, it's
hardly a pinprick"".
Maybe, but so what!!!
