Kalundborg Denmark: traveling without a map on bicycle route 4 from roskilde to k-borg. I’m thinking about the conference and fish and lost blog featuring Nancy Gitonga’s presentation on how things need to change. Typing with my thmbs andmy thumbs are tired from shfting gears into the wind thinking of all the things I need to wrote down about that. Like amanda’z tutorial on the WMD of the finance marke: derivatives. How she explained uncertainty, the spread of it around an average, how she explained what selling short means. All these terms one frequently hears and yet it is not always easy to know what thye mean. And Nancy at the podium speaking about the AU andthe EU and thefisheries partnership aggrements and how they are less about access than partnership and what needsto be done to make them more fair. People do not know the value of the fisheries resources as they stand, nor how much is being taken and the EU partner countries refuse to give upthis information and the EU recuse to force them to tell what they are taking from host countries. And when the fish are on EU boats then they are EU fish. But when the same fish are on AU boats they face heavy tariffs in EU markets. The law says countires Must sell surplus fish. But the assessments do not exist and the artisanal fleet is hurting for fish.

All this and Danish windmills spinning, dead rat in the road, and a Viking ship. And we in the developed
World are all still raiders.
