    My 'drunk as a skunk' best friend haggled and made quite a scene one night when Bob was speaking at a bowling club. It was hilarious, although not for Bob. Bob took it pretty well though. I wish him all the best.

    If integrity is something people appreciate, Bob undoubtedly has more than most. People don't vote for integrity though and notions of earth conservation are not popular. Money is King.

    Bob Brown didnt believe in national soverignty.For any country. And through his work in the Carbon Bills he has helped sell us all to the pope.

    If that's integrity I'm a chinaman.
    I put a link to an emotional Bob Brown retrospective here yesterday, but the investors obviously don't like the Green Party and removed it.

    Well, until we figure out a way of erecting giant sealed bio-domes over the land mass of entire countries so their carbon emissions stay in their own "sovereign atmosphere", national sovereignty has to take a back seat where some thing are concerned.

    That was his argument anyway and he made it consistently since before he even entered politics.

    BS.

    Good article by Terry McCrann in the business section of The Weekend Australian may help explain why Brown appeared to have more integrity than most.

    I agree with peter. Shiney's too arrogant with his opinions.
    Also his sense of humour is too Benny Hill for my palate

    No, just getting sick of you spamming this forum with links to one where you have a user impersonating me.

    Separately, I don't know where this misconception has come from that Silver Stackers has "investors" - there's just two owners.
