Foolish Australia ran headlong
 

from a disasterous first marriage

HOW do we rebuild local economies?
  


How do we take our minds, our bodies and our monies


back from TRANSNATIONAL conglomerates? 
 
 
- From Mass Marketing and Mind Control?

Brindle Style isn't contrived to advance somebody's PR agenda, sell you a product, or in the words of wikipedia - 'persuade you to believe something that's not true.We're just part of the 2% of what we read, hear & view that comes from mainstreet.
