When such values as money, that we have always considered vital, become worthless, what do we have left? What is really important? Litlove: the next meme may have to wait a little while, because I am beginning to feel I am going in circles on the 'going green' topics - the new blog in French will be the outlet for those. Here I want to write more about other (lighter?) matters, and about books.

Thank you for sharing. You and Litlove are certainly upping the meme ante these days. This also happens to tie in very nicely with the section of ROBINSON CRUSOE I was listening to on my afternoon commute yesterday, when he suddenly comes to the realization of what his real needs in life are and how worthless the money he happens to have is to him in his given situation.
