Enoughniks

How will oil depletion affect the way we live? What will the economic impact be? How will agriculture change? Will we thrive or merely survive?

Enough. A perfect word, even though it starts to look a little strange when you stare at it.

We have all grown up with a much worse word: more.

We should say "Enough!" ermm, more.

Maybe changing the spelling to 'enuff' might help?

Perhaps "Enuff" might be better; more emphasis!

Funnily enough I have just got hold of a copy of John Naish's book, Enough (Breaking free from the world of Excess). Looks fascinating and will be my next read after finishing Nick Rosen's Off Grid Living.

The word 'Ample' is very satisfying. For some reason it always makes me think of breasts. :oops:
