The Direct Opposite To Free Trade, Protect Everything You Did With As Strong A Shield From Foreign Competition As You Could

What if you went the direct opposite to Free Trade, you made as sure as you could that you'd protect everything you did with as strong a shield from foreign competition as you could, till you had to admit there were some things you couldn't possibly do with out and then arranged with another fully protected country to sell you some, and you'd trade them for only the thing they were in dire need of, otherwise you'd do your utmost to provide everything for yourself, to the point where you had enough and there were some surpluses which didn't cost the environment, then you could hawk them...

What's Paradise? A Life Of Plenty With A Bit Left Over For The Neighbours...

Free Trade is stupid, best to get real prices from protected standards of living with market prices on the desperate things, and then if you were self sufficient you ought to have human generosity not to rip off someone who's in need... Seems like the complete opposite of what these Eco-rats preach is needed, and someone ought to be saying it... When they make all their godawful decisions they're starting from the wrong premise, can only go wrong from there on, what's paradise? A life of plenty with a bit left over for the neighbours...

This Is My Job, I Work A It, It's What Keeps Me Alive And I'll Not Give It Up And I Don't Want It To Change Cause It Suits Me Just The Way It Is...

These whip wielders have everyone at each others throats, and fighting for scraps, used to toss work tickets to the Wharfies to scramble for, that's historically why they've got the strength in the Union, and look at how well off they are... It's by saying This is my job, I work a it, it's what keeps me alive and I'll not give it up and I don't want it to change cause it suits me just the way it is... And you can go home to your family with confidence and surety, and your children can do something worthwhile, to make them feel worthy and alive, instead of rejected and kicked around and under surveillance and take out their rejection of society and each other, it's abysmal. The philosophy of these people in elected parties to be a party to the outcomes, it's a disgrace the way life's standards have gone backwards, it's because the Right Wing have taken over the agenda since the fall of the Communists, that big needle has to be pulled back to the left...

A Diverse And Diffuse Community With A Range Of Jobs, Small Scaled On Purpose, To Spread The Skills And Talents, And Smear The Goodness

You know once you've got a diverse and diffuse community with a range of jobs, small scaled on purpose, to spread the skills and talents, and smear the goodness of having an intelligent challenging employment, with a community goodness feature, the idea that what you're doing serves a good purpose for the whole good, life with a purpose makes for sweeter moments, little achievements and a dose of pride keeps a community alive, a sense of well being.

That Whole Speculation World Is Treated With Respect! It's An Anathema To Commonsense And Planning

Now where do they put that in their Model Formulas, bluddy mad dreamers, get a small education in a discipline and miss the whole point, like the frenzy these kids put about on the Fx and Futures, and Stock Markets, that whole speculation world is treated with respect! It's an anathema to commonsense and planning, these financial cowboys aren't investing, they're betting on prices, the prices being set by guesses on confidence, and when the confidence wanes it's the Depositors, Superannuants and Taxpayers who do their dough...

Depositors Were Reassured Of Getting Their Money Back In A Run, Look At It Now!

After the New Deal the Depositors were reassured of getting their money back in a run, banks where to put some of their deposits away for safe keeping and to only lend a ratio of the depositors funds, look at it now! There's only privatised deregulated banking and speculation... They took a straightforward simple idea and turned it into snake oil, they ought to regulate lending, even George Soros said so yesterday, what a joke, and when they foreclose and sell at the bottom guess who loses out... The sharks are circling right now around the Asian meltdown too.

The Number Of Times The Bosses Salary Exceeds The Lowest Paid, Those Figures Stir The Revolutionary Mind...

It's late, still resolved to do whatever the New Years Resolution was, gone and forgotten, to be a bad boy, that's it, with fewer rich and less poor and richer poor, why not have the goal towards equalization in wealth, rather than this distortion, where there's super rich, can remember toying with relative salaries about the worth of individuals and their remuneration, the number of times the bosses salary exceeds the lowest paid, those figures stir the revolutionary mind... And the poor don't need much it seems to make a big difference, like overall the scope of the thing the basic picture that you aim at, where's the Eco-Rats picture? Some chaotic dog eat dog thing, they're crazy, they're the king with no clothes...

That Was A Twelve Month Year End, The Next Thousand Years Is The Big Question...

So that was a twelve month year end, then there's the century year end, we've had nine in a row, and now coming up is the Millennium Year End, the last year in a thousand, for whatever that has significance, it's a milestone... the next thousand years is the big question... What?

How The USA Minorities Should Avoid Legislation To Assist Them Cause It Opens The Floodgates

There's a guy saying as how the USA Minorities should avoid legislation to assist them cause it opens the floodgates for legislation intrusive over too many freedoms of life, go back to all being equal, he reckons, Jim Sleeper it was, there's no simple solution, there's dangers in intervening, but it can do a lot of good, there's enormous disparities based on ethnicity, positive things can be done especially for them that needs it, now, if you let the racists do it, then you're in trouble... And it's to be done with agreement with consultation and in public...

Competition Policy Works Against Social Integration, The Aussie Tories Competition Policy Serves To Destroy The Fabric

This proviso that legislation which can only Benefit The Race makes for justice, but you have to have the High Court judge it... Spose that's what they're there for... And he reckons there's a migration to the South in the USA, there's no going to find a life in Africa, African-Americans are separating out then, but in England the soup is getting richer, Well I reckon Competition Policy works against social integration and peace, the Aussie Tories Competition Policy serves to destroy the fabric that holds the strands together...

Paperwork To Trap The Pollies, To Make Then Conform, How They Spend Their Money And Account For It Is Up To Them

All this Expense Recording paperwork to trap the pollies, it's crazy to make them conform, they for one have to be models of propriety, the righteousness of the Nation, so how they spend their money and account for it is up to them, the public and media will be the judge, just let them justify their own lives as they see fit, pollies are privileged, they can be protected and assisted to do their thing, you can't have too many rules on pollies, just disclosure of agendas, as long as they disclose any interest, and that's up to them, cause if the case can be made in the public mind, they're goners, like these cheapo travel rorters...

The New Year, A Time For Resolutions And Taking Stock And Assessing

The New Year, a time for resolutions and taking stock and assessing, planning and postponing and putting things off, avoiding all the things that don't really matter and will pop up again to be done repeatedly, just miss out on doing it the first time and leave it at that, never bothers you again, the art of doing as little as possible, but it wont stop you from fiddling about with the jobs you can't resist... Houie is now an established expert at work scheduling, and I am flat out keeping up...

The Net And Who's Out There, Came To Thinking About All Those Who Never Get A Mention And Never Say Anything

Like when I was considering the Net and who's out there, came to thinking about all those who never get a mention and never say anything, like who does Prince Charles talk to down the bottom of the Garden, just him with the Faeries, who else does? Those with that reputation are so much more aware and conscious... That was all to avoid getting around to saying something about another Union that I have been considering... The Faeries At the Bottom of the Garden Union...

Down The Bottom Of The Garden Then, Down There With Prince Charles Chatting To ? Ummm, No One? See No One Lissens...

The Faeries down the bottom of the garden then, down there with Prince Charles chatting to ? Ummm, no one? See no one lissens... That's it for Faeries, can't think of another one, like who'd be famous for being down the garden with Faeries... Oh yes, the Greenies always are... You'd think there'd be millions, it's about time for a revolution of all those Faeries, the Faeiries Revolt, as against all those raucous voices out there, like Wun-Nation, like there'd be a few Aboriginals in amongst the Faeries too, all gathering there in a sacred place, near the Passionfruit vine say...

What Should Be Done... All The Faeries To Come Out Of The Closet, Ha... An Honour And A Privilege To Be Amongst Them...

Might have to have a Culturally-Diverse Faeries Union, cast a spell on them good hearted simple folk who just want to do what's right, put the rest into a trance with what should be done... All the Faeries to come out of the closet, ha... It should be an honour and a privilege to be amongst them... Or the Faeries Representatives, those who aren't actually prepared to be that far down the garden path, just out on the back verandah or somewhere and pretend there's a spirit in the nature of things. There's a spirit in the Net there too, pity you hardly ever hear it...

The Bits Of Madness, Ha, But Then There Are The Others Like Me Who Take The Serious Stuff Seriously, And Feel It

Funny, the net, the exposure and there's been largely peace, there's a silence, it must be, hey this is too crazy, or what, the atheist? The non-xtian, the bits of madness, ha, but then there are the others like me who take the serious stuff seriously, and feel it enough to write, only a few, that's the proportion, like the IQ Bell Curve, up the genius end of course, only a small number out of a very large number who take a peek, spose, and then they've got more chance of finding the site, looking and searching turns me up on the net, like a search for Barbara Theiring even, so that's where I am, a voice in the wilderness down the Bottom of the Garden, besides me, you don't write to anyone of them in particular, you write to another thing again, Do you hear a morphic resonance? Ha... What is that thing then? Who the hell am I talking to?

Carry On Blithely In Ignorant Bliss

Best carry on blithely in ignorant bliss, besides someone's got to do it... Tell Me Why, remember the Bronski Beat, then Communards, and Annie Lennox she had a Why song, one of the great questions, Who, What, Where and Why...

Bacon And Eggs And Tomato And Apple Breakfast With Houie And The Sydney Morning Herald

The anti-climax of the New Year, 1998, at least it's not an odd year, just had a bacon and eggs and tomato and apple breakfast with Houie and the Sydney Morning Herald, a mixture of today and the past haunting us still with the Maralinga Atomic Fallout still affecting our Half-Lives, the Secret papers released after the thirty year silence, Harold Holt's world at the top, his briefcase opened to reveal the issues of the days, just as well there was no banana sandwich, and another Tory Icon Doug Anthony came on board to be against the Racist Election, as well the internal White-Anting of Wun-Nation has it descending into farce, even more, and then there's the Virus Scares, slaughtering the chickens before the eggs, a serious effort to wipe out an epidemiological threat to us all... And another Volunteer Fire Fighter tragedy, these sacrifices make the community sorrow and fear grow, Tim Flannery reckons the Firestick Aboriginal burning in the pre-Colonial days would have seen the bush a lot thinner... Small patchwork burns all through winter then...

Political Point Scoring Contributions, More Of What Would Be GentlePeople Talkback Radio, If We Ever Had One...

And the Net, I received a gem from Con he was working on, these literary efforts to make the political point, have to do something to get these things out there, spose it's a personal thing having attitudes about Net Publishing, now the ALP Soapbox has Sandbox aspersions cast, spose there's still "This" with my CUoA Guestbook, just a matter of moderating it for the GentlePeople... Which leads on into 1998 being an Open Invitation for Political Point Scoring Contributions, freely conferred and biased, none of this balanced argument bondage Our ABC, has to suffer from, more of what would be GentlePeople Talkback Radio if we ever had one...

The Fifties, The Parents Of The Baby Boomers And Big Chrome V8 Bumper Bars...

The Fifties, you go steady, get married to skip out of home, you have the babies and then get depressed, while the Husbands have flirts at work, the Wives get anti-depressants, and the ideal should have been happy, a house, car and comfortable living, it becomes a trap, more affluence, but never enough, live up to your income and the expectations of the neighbours, convert from saving into debt, go broke, take an obsessive climb up the ladder to success, join the rat-race in heartless corporatism, get into the grey flannel suit uniform of the civvies, short back and sides and shave, conform or else, and then Peyton Place, is this America? People acting Pure, and behind the scenes was the drunken beatings hatreds and sex-sex-sex, violence and deceit... The parents of the baby boomers and big chrome V8 bumper bars... Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes...

The Human Struggle To Understand, And How Far It's Got

Con was asking about the Stephen Hawking's Brief History of Time, it is truly a history, the human struggle to understand, and how far it's got, the last few pages and summary from the point where the two dimensional dog would fall apart, he summarises a lot, carrying on from the string theories, so into the last chapter he sort of says that there is no theory to explain it all, yet, and makes some nice perspectives, and asks three cute questions,

But can there really be such a unified theory? Or are we perhaps just chasing a mirage? There seems to be three possibilities:

1. There really is a complete unified theory, which we will discover if we are smart enough. 2. There is no ultimate theory of the Universe, just an infinite sequence of theories that describe the Universe more and more accurately. 3. There is no theory of the Universe; events cannot be predicted beyond a certain extent but occur in a random and arbitrary manner.

Stephen Hawking

 

Atheism With Science Is Infinitely More Wonderful... And Has Massive Advantages In Every Particular Event As Time Goes By...

So perhaps that's where the book should really start to be read, at the end, after all it seems that the Universe has a living theme, it was born, has grown older and has the prospect of dying, 'twill all be gone, crushed by Gravity, it's the ultimate end that's intriguing but has within it the idea to remove all purpose, why bother when it's all to no avail, so the other idea to grasp your moments in the light with relish is more the stronger, but as I was saying to Con to tune yourself into the latest sensible ideas from intelligent people rather than silly carrot and stick religious tripe is far more satisfactory, even if you are spaced out half the time... Atheism with Science is infinitely more wonderful... And has massive advantages in every particular event as time goes by...

The Terrible Legacy Of Atomic Radiation, How A Series Of Particles Smash Away Pieces Of DNA In The Gonads

Another thought that has been haunting me, brought up again in the Maralinga Tory Atomic Attack on Australia where the Tory Idiot PM Bob Bomber Menzies had the Poms drop a dozen A-Bombs on us! The terrible legacy of Atomic Radiation, how a series of particles smash away pieces of DNA in the gonads, like a miniature machine gun, when the baby is formed subsequently and the DNA unravels to specialise into all the complexities of the body, the cells at the end of an arm say are to form the hand... The hand is missing! And the deformity is expressed in that baby's babies as well, pieces of the complete human forever missing... Uranium belongs in the ground, to be left where nature stored it away...

A Front Page Attention Grabber And Then Two Huge Pages Of The Union Disputes And History Of The Wharfie Wars

United we stand, divided we fall, an unusual event in Private Publishing where the Sydney Morning Herald had a front page attention grabber and then two huge pages of the Union disputes and history of the Wharfie Wars, how these Maritime Unionists have set such a fine example by fighting for their families and themselves with wages and conditions far beyond those of all the poor non-unionised workers being taken for suckers in the Australian Community, proving that for the average person, if you want to live a decent life you have to be part of a Union, otherwise the employers will squeeze you and throw you away, the worst in human nature does it every time... And the Tories represent the worst in human nature, elitist greed...

This Wharfie War May Well Ignite The Workforce To Take Action, For Their Own Sakes And The Sake Of Their Kids

The tribal animals, humans included, always hunted and gathered in packs and shared the produce of their endeavours, they found success in co-operation, the Tory idea that individuals can succeed alone and cut off from the support of their fellows is a load of hoodwinking crap... And the proof is in this mad frenzy the Tory Business Agenda has to kill off Unions, and the irony is it's coming at a time when the General Public is fed up with all their cruel mean-spirited madness...

Good Well Paid Jobs Of Unionists Might Highlight Just How Well Off Unionists Are, And That The Rest May Well Follow Suit...

So this Wharfie War may well ignite the Workforce to take action, for their own sakes and the sake of their kids, the election campaign where the Tories are seen to be ripping away good well paid jobs of Unionists might highlight just how well off Unionists are, and that the rest may well follow suit... Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake, if not just creating a cake again, those Tories have run away with all the big slices, there's hardly a crumb now, cept the Clown Wreath, he's a crumb, even if Elle McFeast deigns to leave luvly big Lippy Lips on his cruel cheeks...

Talk Of Deflation, So The Idea To Unload Unprofitable Enterprises, The Scenario For Another Great Depression

There's another thought prevailing too, with talk of deflation, and flight from goods to money, and prices dropping for assets, and dumping from foreign markets, so the idea to unload unprofitable enterprises, get out and desert, and run for cover, the scenario for another Great Depression, world wide, and to throw ever increasing more people out of work...

The Cure For The Depression Was To Create Public Service Jobs And Deliver A Pay Packet Into The Average Workers Hands

Whereas the cure for the Depression was to create public service jobs and deliver a pay packet into the average workers hands which stimulated the confidence in commerce once again, and what do you hear now but the voices of the Downsizers again, the very opposite of what's needed, the Asian Meltdown needs pay packets in the hands of people at the bottom of the heap, not these bail outs for the rich... Cause I don't wanta be the Prophet of Doom, just can't help hisself is all... Hey buddy, can you spare me a dime?

The Soapboxers Have Brought Up The Need For A Forum, Where Do They Go, A Quandary Indeed

Oh boy, it's on, been Hearing the Man in Black on Late Night Live do the Best of Cultural Diversity and Interventionist Politics, good guests, heard this before surely, besides that the SoapBoxers have brought up the need for a forum, where do they go, a quandary indeed, there's aus.politics such a noise, there's the possibility of another Newsgroup like aus.media.watch has a neat clientele, this SoapBox Forum is ALP Pure or Anti-Tory? Dedicated to getting a good Left Wing Green Labor Coalition Government would be my preference... And maybe some questions splayed out on the Newsgroups to ask for a Soapbox somewhere... Where ever you go there will be Flamers, even then in a haven some renegade will get into a never ending argument, it happens, who does the expelling, who presides, who moderates, it's a brave new world, party politics are here though and From Little Things Big Things Grow...

I would Expect There Would Be A Fear The CUoA Guestbook Would Give A Sort Of Tacit Approval To my Rantings

The main thing is exposure, the ALP site would have had numerous hits as can be seen by the Tory SandBoxers, so it has to be in the limelight, and I would expect there would be a fear the CUoA GuestBook would give a sort of tacit approval to my rantings, but then ALP SoapBoxers could make that exclusion proviso, those guest-books are temporary storage on external sites as well, although there is a True Believers Section on the CUoA, but I would expect a distinct reticence for say xtians to contribute, for example, just one of the billions that Heretics are ex-communicated from... A Test of the Cultural Diversity Level of Tolerance right there, ha... Interesting situation though...

It's Not What Divides People With A Common Purpose But Those Things Which Unite

Spose it's not what divides people with a common purpose but those things which unite, like one of the Faeries pointed out there are some marvelous exceptions amongst the xtian brigade, there's my Favourite Governor-General Sir William Deane who's like the kind Uncle President we need, and there's Sir Ronald Wilson who wrote the genocide report too, The Stolen Children, and there's Tim the brother of Dog, and some of the Archbishops have made sensible statements on social issues, it's their rotten bluddy history that gets up your nose... whoops, besides that's an example of Druisms...

1998 January 6, Tuesday, 20:10

To Be Detrimental To The Aboriginals... For That To Be Acceptable Is Criminal On A Higher Plane...

On a Higher Plane, the Good Judge Michael Kirby made the point that political appointments to the High Court should be rejected by the Legal Profession, saying rather than Intellect and Competence the Tory Tricky Dicks have called for the Conservative Queen's Capital C judge from Queensland to get their nod and wink, with his professed leanings on Native Titles being extinguished, saying it's OK to be detrimental to the Aboriginals, that's the real reason he was appointed, for that to be acceptable is criminal on a Higher Plane...

For The Sake Of Commonsense It Would Be Best To Vote For Less Extreme People...

And there's the spectre rising of this extremist division in the community, those people wanting to be way out there on the far right with the Wun-Nation are making a bigger mistake on the Commonsense Scale, for the sake of peace in the community 'twould be best for those people tempted to vote way out there to come back in with rest of Australia and support the middle ground, make their points within the parties, it's ok to have the Wun-Nation there, out in the open, and for all to see, they will have a core support, but for the sake of Commonsense it would be best to vote for less extreme people...

And The Winner Is Syd-En-Nee, Cripes It's A Pain, I will Have To Make This An Olympics Free Zone...

Swimming, splash-splash, stadiums, money, sponsors, money, PVC mascots, pollution, money, appointments of the Honorary Mayor... drugs, it's all drugs, it's just becoming a dopey grind, And The Winner Is Syd-En-Nee, cripes it's a pain, I will have to make this an Olympics Free Zone... The Alternate Olympics goes on doesn't it? Don't they have somewhere to go that puts on other events, like how not to run a 100 metres, how to avoid diving into all that chlorine, how to stay as far away as possible from a noxious toxic chemical dump... Gold Gold Gold, price is dropping though, like if you want a precious medal they'd be making them out of Black Market Heroin... Spose I will have to do his personal best to tune it out then, so who's got the headaches for 2004, poor buggers...

1998 January 7, Wednesday, 12:09

Politics Can Be Drawn Into The Glare Of The Media Say, So It's Publicity And Being In The Limelight

The Olympics being in Australia does one major thing though, it turns the spotlight of the world's attention onto Australia and the opportunity for getting your point across is splattered all through the media, the Questions of Racial Politics can be drawn into the glare of The Media say, so it's publicity and being in the limelight, and the latest desire for all of us SoapBoxers to get together continues, to maybe have an On-Line Branch of the ALP, why not indeed, and the monitored ListServe for swapping E-mails, thing is getting wide exposure with having a site, and the waste of preaching to the converted with a list...

The Soapbox Site Has To Build Up References In All The Search Engines And Encourage Links From All Over The Spectrum

With a site you need famous clout like the ALP has, the SoapBox site has to build up references in all the Search Engines and encourage Links from all over the spectrum, and be maintained and have something to seduce surfers to read it, although there's this publicity of being a few clicks away from some anathema... So I am concerned and interested in having a SoapBox, and welcomes the suggestions from Barbara et al... The new world of the Internet and all the implications, you realise the difficulties of getting a conspiracy together, how the hell these conspiracy theorists can imagine a room full of people could ever agree on things always amazes me, but so be it... How do you sack the Elected President?

Who Can Beat The Drug Tests Is The New Sport, Human Growth Hormone Is In First Place

There's so much trouble in the Competitive World, win at all costs, bugger the rules, hollow victories for cheats, but the spoils are so tempting, so who can beat the drug tests is the new sport, Human Growth Hormone is in first place now. Wish they'd grow up...

Coming Last Is That Little Puny Runt Pushing Drugs For The Quit For Life Formula One Grand Prix

And coming last is that Little Puny Runt pushing drugs for the Quit For Life Formula One Grand Prix, is this Tory Government sponsored by Tobacco or what, they must be addicted to double standards, while the Little Bland Tasteless Twirp wont meet the Spice Girls, is that the smartest thing he's ever done? I tell you what he wants, what he really-really wants... Ummm, christ, it's a big list... Just make sure you're not on it...

Taking Big Steps As The Minister For Silly Walks To Get A Copy Of The Canadian Apology To Their Native Peoples

There's the time for giving as all break from Twirpism spose, there's the worst PM ever hiding away on Hawk's Nest, doing the Incredibly Unconventional Constitutionals. What's he doing there, taking big steps as the Minister for Silly Walks to get a copy of the Canadian Apology to their Native Peoples, have the Burgermeister Tim declare that Canada is a different country, like decent... The wonderful thing about the Tories is their unswerving ability to go in the wrong directions on just about everything embarrassing... As Tim says, they'd be branded as Hypocrites, well if one of those funny hats fits...

To Listen In, The Faintest Forces In The Universe Connecting It All Up, The Attractive Force... Gravity

Oooo, Gravity Wave Detectors from Perth, over in the wonderful Western Australia, to lissen in on the Black Holes, ha, hear a Neutron Star speak, if you can't see these exotic pits of mass, then they're going to convert the Gravity Waves to sound and listen in, the faintest forces in the Universe connecting it all up, the Attractive Force... Gravity, and the Detectors are sooooo sensitive, really-really sensitive, this new L-Shaped Laser thingo that the Aussie's have developed, you can even Hear the Stealth Bombers, ha, they're grinning at having this relatively cheap device make the Billion Dollar Stealth obsolete, go park it on the Great Wall of China...

Heal me with a smile, darlin' pretty...

Media Feeding Frenzies On The Chinese Swimmers, It's A Big Beat Up Based On Racism

Christ I'm Sick of these media feeding frenzies on the Chinese Swimmers, it's a big beat up based on racism as well, if it had of been an Aussie, and they're all as likely, 'twould be a different story, always has been for our cheats, and what a farce, all over some swimming races, christ, and the Front-Line Methodology with Media Scrums, poking cameras in peoples faces is the New Inquisition, every time these twirps try to ban some drug of disapproval they bring in the surveillance, it's like the Dictatorial Stasis, the checking, the testing, the spies, the whole right wing scenario of police state crap...

Sport, It's All A Profession, It's Just Watching People At Work, Big Deal

Who cares who swims any faster anyway, what's the big point, sport used to be done voluntarily once, couldn't give a stuff what all these pros do with their sport, it's all a profession, it's just watching people at work, big deal, if only Our ABC, puts on some amateur sport, they can take their Pro Competitive Games and stick it, I am fed up... Now where's that ball, where's that racquet, where's the court, those were the days... Oh well take the dog for a walk...

Sport Was War With Rules, But There's The Sneaks, And Then They Use Banning, It Never Works

Pure sport is the solution, it's the same as those Gladiator days, whatever it takes, like Formula One Racing, you can die, unrestricted sport then, one bloke said sport was war with rules, but there's the sneaks, and then they use banning, it never works, the only thing worth the effort banning would be weapons, but that's be the last thing they ban, cept for the Little Buy Back Blockhead... Nearly every Pro Sports-Person has a before and after picture, from puny to bulging.

Hate-Radio-Talk-Back, The Xmas Stand-Ins, What A Spew, Push-Poll Propaganda Finger-Pointing People, A Chinese Target

Besides the whole sponsored professional thing is so repetitive and dead, the Nein show this Cemetery Cricket, and during the rain breaks they show older cemetery cricket. Dropped in on Hate-Radio-Talk-Back this morning, the xmas stand-ins, what a spew, they are employing push-poll propaganda finger-pointing people to dish out outrageous outrage, the red-necks were thumping there, cause they had a Chinese target, god they're sick...

The Constitution Should Say That No Accused Star Chamber Image Shown On Television Without Approval

When someone kills a paparazzi there'll be an outcry, I reckon for Trial By Television the Constitution should say that no accused star chamber image of any one under suspicion closer than 50 metres, and no image zoomed, shown on television without approval, the Royals too, and there was Clinton and Hilary on the beach, get those cameras out of peoples faces, they've got them everywhere, and keep them away from people playing sport too... ha... Another thing television does is have some dork hog the camera out on some place of interest, and instead of scanning the scene, there's a talking head, click... Although kids looking curious would be OK... Curious kids copy all that TV crap though, there was one story of a knife embedded in a head, why give that lesson on TV, which little ape will copy cat it...

Hey, was that Indara Naidoo pushing the tea trolley through Front-Line?
She's a star...

I Took A Trip On The Resurrected Tram, Ding-Ding, But It's Blue!

While the rest of Asia Melts Down this bit here just keeps on dangling it's legs over the wharves at Darling Harbour and gawking at Pro water skiers do their thing for the Sponsors, and while I was at it I took a trip on the resurrected Tram, Ding-Ding, but it's blue! Public Transport should be Green and Gold surely, so the Blue Sydney Trams take a trip to nowhere really, just so they stop at the Casino.

So There Are Human Brains, The Smartest Chemical Structure In The Observable Universe, Chasing Feelings

The Star City, full of gamblers dicing with fate, I used to get a nape of the neck thing when Zero needed backing at Roulette, but not this time... Timeless actually, no night or day although some of the ceiling has Lightning... So there are human brains, the smartest chemical structure in the observable universe engaged, entranced, amused, excited, emotional, exhilarated and forlorn and desperate, and inevitably, disappointed, just chasing feelings, at the expense of everything, maybe the families next meal, temptation, strange world in a gamblers head spose, you can bet it is...

The Marvelous Australian Method To Get Rid Of A Leader

One of the largest Muslim Nations in the world is having revolutionary talk go round, saying how the President's Family had it good still, while The People were so worried they queued to get food from the SuperMarkets, A Sign of the Times, but it's OK the army is only on Alert Three, which only means get ready to kill, wait for Alert One for the next real election... Be better to swap governments without having to kill them off, or like the Marvelous Australian method to get rid of a Leader, you just have a ring around, get the numbers and depose him in a morning tea break, a new Prime Minister just like that... The Wilson Tuckey method...

A Change Of Allegiance In One Of The Propped Up Capitalist Dictatorships, However Benevolent

So the fundamentalist xtian West is going to witness a change of allegiance in one of the propped up Capitalist Dictatorships, however benevolent it had been at times, and time may be up, the Opposition wants to take over, and things wont be the same cosy little coterie... But hey, we're all sisters and brothers, you just make friends with the new Government, like if they get in, it wouldn't look good on your resume to have backed the losers...

A Multi-Cultural Accepting Nation Who Doesn't Take Sides Against Types Of People, Everybody Who Is Friendly Is Welcome...

Just as well Australia is a Multi-Cultural Accepting Nation who doesn't take sides against types of people, everybody who is friendly is welcome... Now how friendly is the Wun-Nation platform... Policy announcements that seem to echo down through history like you've heard them all before spoken in Nazi...

Bottled Up In A Prison Called The Maze For Christs Sake, Amazing, Let Me Outa Here, With All Their Silly Icons

One Ireland, except for the Intransigence, but it's a commendable role the New Labor English Government is playing to seek the voices of the Intransigents, the more those hate full words are uttered to the wind, words no one wants to hear, words which don't inspire, and words to be lost in the chatter of life, having them bottled up in these silly groups, in a Prison called The Maze for christs sake, amazing, Let me outa here, with all their silly icons, an ugliness image as well, a racist smell to it. Seems like all wars, the more the glare of publicity shows the ugliness the quicker it dissolves away...

Racists Enjoy The Threatening Talk Amongst Themselves, But Expose It To The Glare Of Questioning Publicity And It Fizzles...

Just let their words free to allow the rest of the world see how foolish they look, once they are engaged in an agenda for getting on with life rather than their bloodlust... Ought to hold a press conference with them every day till they run out of slogans and eventually try to win over the public with platitudes... These racists enjoy the threatening talk amongst themselves, but expose it to the glare of questioning publicity and it fizzles... Once they say they want an end to the murder and fear and intimidation the movement will disintegrate to the mad core...

The Key To Northern Ireland Peace Is The New Labor Woman, Negotiating With The Tough Machos, Childish Males Really

And the key to Northern Ireland Peace is the New Labor Woman, a female Moe at last, negotiating with the tough machos, childish males really, who don't have the guts or brains to face the complexities, just want simple racist genocide final solutions, puts themselves on the bottom of the honours list... The incredible notion to cling to an English connection by some of the Northern Irish is the unfathomable madness in that abominable history... Weirdos... god created weirdos as usual, on both sides, ah, freedom from religion, a wonderful thing...

Newspaper Headlines Calling For The Indonesian President To Go, And Every Day Capitalist Towers Tumble

Heard a story about Indonesia where the construction site cranes have stopped, thus out of ninety million jobs in the city, some three million jobs stopped, workers sleeping in the streets, a good wage for computer-people reduced in value from $10,000 to $2,000 and hoarding supermarket stocks where prices are doubling, they say one wage used to have five dependents, which has now gone to seven, and newspaper headlines calling for the President to go, and every day Capitalist Towers tumble, the collapse is like a cavein of the banks into the raging river, the wrong picture cause the rains have stopped, the rice crops have failed, and what more do you need... Just a few strings attached to the IMF Rescue Package which calls for cuts in health and education, shades of Jack Lang...

Self Sufficient And Insulated, Nicely Feather Bedded In A Welfare State, Full Employment And Needs Met

Oh to be self sufficient and insulated, nicely feather bedded in a welfare state, full employment and needs met and Capitalism for the little luxuries, no reliance on imports or exports, just some special deals for the surpluses, why can't the country have a goal of independence... Globalism is like a ticket on the Titanic...

The Media Affecting The Public Opinion, Demanding To See What It Likes, The Frightening Consequences Still To Be Accounted For

Media, this is the biggest influence next to Gravity... Our ABC, Four Corners on Films and the Media affecting the public opinion, demanding to see what it likes, the frightening consequences still to be accounted for, like I've been saying in the back-channel chats, that's where the questions lie, how do you let the young people learn about society nowadays, by watching screens, it's all on screens, what they see is what they are... And who controls what they see? A papal knight.. Indeed...

The Newsreel, A Series Of Catastrophes Followed By A Fashion Show...

The screen is this small stage on which are placed things to see, fact and fantasy, it enters the brains of every viewer, unless you choose not to be dudded... the Newsreel, a series of catastrophes followed by a fashion show... But people paying to sit in a theatre wouldn't want Bad News, they wanted entertainment... See... So the pictures are now the persuaders, images, a most powerful magic box, concentrating itself into fewer and fewer hands, it's the new church...

That Tradition Of Having A Say And Freedom To Say It, Some Ideas Put Forward To Create The SoapBox Scene On The Internet

Soapbox, the old Sydney Domain tradition, the expanse of grass and trees behind the NSW Parliament House, and people standing up to speak, lot's of placards and pamphlets, had that tradition of having a say and freedom to say it, with a few hecklers to dispute it, there's been some more ideas put forward to create the SoapBox scene on the Internet, the more you think about it the more you realise it's already there in the NewsGroups...

A Moderated Newsgroup aus.politics.alp.soapbox.mod, Could Have It's Own Agreed Flavour

Say you had a moderated NewsGroup aus.politics.alp.soapbox.mod, it would appear in sequence with aus.politics, the free for all, but could have it's own agreed flavour with more precise, smaller page sized statements or rants that viewers can easily browse through in their busy lives, made to a topic in the Subject line, could run many diverse Topics so readers could pursue their own interests without getting bogged down, not so much a conversation between contributors, not too personal, that can be done back channel, but present the opinions of each person directed to the wider audience...

The Wider Audience Appeal, Abuse Could Be Deleted, Agenda Setting, The Soapbox Would Remain Above It All

And you'd have the wider audience appeal, the subject lines and page sized rants could be cross-posted to other newsgroups, as is the common practice, and the Tory SandBoxers could then tear them apart elsewhere, as they see fit, but the Tory SandBoxers using abuse could be deleted, moderated out of the SoapBox Newsgroup, these Soapbox Rants could become agenda setting, and have influence in the other newsgroups, others could take the Subject Topics up, but regardless, the Soapbox would remain above it all, only politicians the targets, a bit aloof, a bit elitist, nothing personal, nothing directed to shooting the messenger... Someone would have to moderate it, a sensitive powerful job, wielding the scissors would be forever contentious...

The Draw-Card Would Be The Uncluttered Flavour Of Our Soapbox, A Small Number Of Pointed Rants

The audience though would be the widest, the potential for people interested in politics to find it in their surfing, the young as well, the audience would be larger from the subscribers to NewsGroups, it's worldwide, but the draw-card would be the uncluttered flavour of our Soapbox, a small number of pointed rants rather than chopped up indecipherable replies full of abuse... To have an automatic download of a few Soapbox Rants each day to be read at leisure and to create some thought provoking response is a better way... And to use the power of the pen to satire and ridicule and debunk can sway political opinion, as well as make it...

Best To Be Convincing With Your Words Rather Than Reputation...

The Internet is an anonymous crowded place, like talking aloud in a Pub, sometimes it would be best to remain anonymous, identities can be falsified and misrepresented anyway and difficult to verify so that avenue has mixed blessings, be best to be convincing with your words rather than reputation... But anyone with a public image would be more likely to contribute to a Soapbox which was moderated to protect them from abuse...

If The Soapbox Reputation Was One For Being Sensible, Humourous, Critical, And Satirical... Might Attract People

As wide a variety of contributors as possible could grow if the Soapbox reputation was one for being sensible, humourous, critical, and satirical... A level of decency might attract people disenchanted with the antics on aus.politics... A continuously building set of Soapbox Rants would remain in the NewsGroups interminably it seems, available for historical research, and be accessible throughout the Internet and be subject to the services like the Deja-Vu search engines...

This Newsgroup Arrangement Would Most Resemble What Was Lost When The ALP Discontinued It's Own Soapbox

The variety of opinions would be aired, a diversity of contributors, opposing opinions, it's the riff-raff that would be best excluded, and some avoidance of never-ending disputes, no one is going to win all the time, besides, other soapboxes may flourish with different leanings, as a first step though this Newsgroup arrangement would most resemble what was lost when the ALP discontinued it's own Soapbox...

I would See The Newsgroup Soapbox As The Intermediate Answer, Would Give Us All The Platform With The Least Fuss...

So besides and alongside all the other suggestions I would see the NewsGroup Soapbox as the intermediate answer, would give us all the platform with the least fuss... Now someone has to discover how to set up a moderated NewsGroup, the moderator's job will include reading and judging every damn letter, which I reckon would drive anyone mad after a while, or create a monster... But someone's got to do it...

Who're You Gonna Call? Bank Buster's? Alan Greenspan Will Come Out Next And Say Don't Panic... That Ought To Fix It...

Deflation, Inflation, who're you gonna call? Bank Buster's? Managers? Ha, sorry, once you might have asked your bank manager for investment advice, now you walk in as one of the victims, you wanna take out a fixed interest loan? Ummm... Has anyone ever predicted the next set of numbers? The real predictors are knowing human nature enough, cripes, looks like Alan Greenspan will come out next and say Don't Panic... That ought to fix it...

Cloning Is Inevitable, Besides A Million Bucks A Clone Sounds Like The Rich Have It On Their Plate But Not Too Many Others

Yes and there's Cloning, Human Beings, the oh so precious DNA definition, can't see where it'd do much harm to have some clones done, no use banning it no one takes any notices of bans, all Genetic Engineering should be banned then, and Nuclear Reactors, but cloning is inevitable, besides a million bucks a clone sounds like the Rich have it on their plate but not too many others, cept those would be parents of their own idol, like Presley Babies, Rock Hudson Babies would have been popular to start with, Jackson Babies would be a shock on arrival you'd think, and having Einstein Babies would be interesting...

The Contrast Between The Millionaires And Their Baby Clones, Would Be That The Babies Brain Would Be Empty

But having Ruthless Millionaire Babies would present the Rich with a lot of little empty brains to fill in for the next few decades, the contrast between the Millionaires and their Baby Clones, would be that the babies brains would all be blank, empty of all the experiences the millionaire had gone through, in the preceding decades, which have passed into history, so this Empty Clone Baby's brain has to absorb the next decades, to write it's own experiences in memory, so how much alike will the clones be mentally? Although Joh's son has the horrible luck to be just like his Dad, like two peanuts really...

No Use Claiming That Tie Back To Nowhere, Is There... A True Blue Heretic Then

Back to being a True Blue Heretic then, no use claiming that tie back to nowhere, is there... A True Blue Heretic then, just worry about your own place in the world, first things first, survival in comfort, don't want to have to rely on anyone, just be able to look after ourselves first so then we can help everyone else, so who are ourselves? You'd get a lot of culturally-diverse opinions...

Wipe Out Your Opposition Ethic, Funny How They Promote Competition And Then Destroy Any Opponents

Another thought badgering me to get out was the Competition World, Wipe Out Your Opposition ethic, funny how they promote competition and then destroy any opponents and thus customers dry up, that's their fatal flaw, those competitive Noddy Compliant Down-Trodden Tory voters, they go along with stupid ideas like that, serves 'em right you'd think, takes a lot of Noddy Twits to elect a Little Twit... Ah that feels better, letting the True Blue Heretic out of the bag...

Where Ultimately Do You Stop Competing? Ask Them When?

Whenever you keep on asking Competition Modellers what comes finally in the end? Is there just one winner then, in the end? One person to dive into the pool and win the 100 metres every time, cause all the competition has been destroyed? Where ultimately do you stop competing? Ask them When?

The Other Holy Grail Is Growth, When Do You Stop Growing?

And the other Holy Grail is Growth, when do you stop growing? How about we stop growing and sort of consolidate things and take stock of the situation for the future, no way, it's growth, blind growth, ask them when are they going to stop? They're mad...

How Do You Argue Out The Rest Of Living Here On Finite Earth With Bluddy Dopes Who Aren't Even Starting From The Right Place

So how do you argue out the rest of living here on Finite Earth with bluddy dopes who aren't even starting from the right place, If you want to get where you're going then you shouldn't have started from here... Jesus...

People Employed Happily Not Having To Worry About Competitors Moving In And Putting Them Out Of A Job...

Another few Questions... In competitive fishing when do you let the stocks replenish? In competitive farming when does the land get a rest? In competitive leisure when do you get time to relax? Seems to have been a time when the Local Co-Operatives could supply things pretty regular and with people employed happily and not having to worry about Competitors moving in and wiping them out, putting them out of a job... They had zones and quotas and prices to set up a livable life, oh no, you've got to compete with World's Best Practice, so that gets you World's Worst Wages...

Death To Speculators And Let Us Share In The Wealth Slogans, Spose Madame Guillotine Got A Sharpening In The Thoughts

See where the European Unionists, the unemployed ones, took over the Ministry of Finance and tossed papers to the flaming streets below, they shouted Death to Speculators and Let Us Share In The Wealth slogans, spose Madame Guillotine got a sharpening in the thoughts, it's a hide though to keep it all for themselves, there is too big a gap, it will create a violent response as it always does...

The Capitalist Sandbox, Survivors Can Live It Up, Losers Can Come Back Into The Welfare State, The Best Of Both World's

There ought to be a Welfare State, fully staffed Public Service for Health Education and Housing, with Public Utilities for all the necessities, then you can go play in the Capitalist Sandbox, and the survivors can live it up out there, and the losers can come back into the Welfare State for a Job and Security, the best of both World's, why the Welfare World has to put up with Capitalists butting in with their crazy ideas is the question that needs to be answered, it's no thanks...

Avoiding The Built In Natural Death Of A Cell, So A Collection Of Cells Could Live Forever

Aging, putting back the trisomers, continuous dividing immortal cells of your body, same as cancer does almost, cept it divides more often, it's avoiding the built in natural death of a cell, so a collection of cells could live forever, hope they know how to divide properly, could have an arm growing arms, there's a lot more goes on in making an arm than stopping a cell dying, sounds wonderful, the fountain of youth, but it probably needs refining, so much in fact it's probably best to do without it, and who really knows what it will do, an expressing thalidomidal deformity... Might grow two heads...

Peered Out Over The Edge Of The Bromeliad, Or Peered In From Outside, Wayne Goss Has Dropped In By Dropping Out

On second thoughts, having broken the concentration, peered out over the edge of the Bromeliad, or peered in from outside, Wayne Goss has dropped in by dropping out, could make more impact out of it... Sounds like he's come down from the mountains from chatting with god, so it looks like a bit more surfing then... In that dirty polluted sea though...

Paul Keating The Big Picture Man, Just Being The Harbour Pilot For The Indonesian Ship Of State

Some advice from Paul Keating the Big Picture Man, just being the Harbour Pilot for the Indonesian Ship of State, the benefit of his own experience, how once the Economic House burns down you build another one with new wiring, hopefully more stable and stronger, so that's where the opportunity lies, for Indonesia to become a modern economy, just cut the subsidies to the son's car plant, and the family's oil, media, timber, money and Crony Businesses...

Spose It's Best To Have Paul Keating, Maybe He's The Only One Who Can Give Advice That's Respected

So Paul Keating Ex-PM talks up the failing President's Reign, says he's OK, and wants to change his ways... Spose it's best to have Paul Keating in his ear than anyone else's, maybe he's the only one who can give advice that's respected, and spose we'd all benefit if it saves going into bloody riots, which is what they're starting after one weeks hunger... Hmmm, they're sniggering at Paul for so-called rewriting history about the Banana Republic and the Recession We Had To Have, that period was the cornerstone to restructuring the economy... Hmmm...

Pushing Free Trade Between Differing Standards In Asia Creates Tensions, And It's Too Distorted,

Heard Paul Keating's speech on Our ABC, The Europeans dealing with that Historic Opportunity of the EU, the Euro-Union, was a good talk, even had his own mobile ring in the middle... OK then, have all your Trading Blocks, see how the Europeans have Standards to meet, regulated economy, whereas pushing Free Trade between differing standards in Asia creates tensions, and it's too distorted...

Huge Numbers Of Small Diverse Businesses, Evolving Out Of Permaculture Even, Ought To Come Before One Big Business

Would be better to have the welfare infrastructure first generated from within each country get that self sufficiency developed from foreign aid, having these blobs of foreign investments to soak up a fraction of the cheap labour just destroys the foreign country's standard of living... It's too rich the fertilizer... Huge numbers of Small Diverse Businesses, evolving out of PermaCulture even for the scavengers, ought to come before One Big Business, especially if it's the Bosses Son's... What's the Overall Good of building High Tech goods, like motor cars when most people can't buy a meal... The current Aussie Pm's response was to wait and see what happens, leave it in the In Tray till something else overshadows it, the Bob Bomber Menzies method... Little Action Man at it again, now there's a steroid candidate... Did he apologise to the Spice Grrrrls...

How The Mystical Omnivoria Gets Caught Up In The Asian Way, So-Called, When It's Really Par For The Course Capitalism..

The talk by Henry Bosch on the Corruption of Capitalism, International Free Trade with Foreign Investment enticements and temptations, was excellent and scary, well worth a read, he's got some group together, Transparency International to draw attention to these immoral distortions, how the honest tendering was useless without the 20% bribe to get the contract, how the damage spread around in both countries, and how Bribes are condoned now as a Business Expense Tax Deduction, and the Secret Swiss Bank accounts and Real Estate Property Investments and flamboyant lifestyles are temptations irresistible to the third world leaders, the fascinating Whistle Blower Henry Bosch crusaded through the whole unethical process, how the Mystical Omnivoria had it's business people get caught up in the Asian way, so-called, when it's really Par For The Course Capitalism...

They Ought To Call Economic Rationalism: Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

And where does Corruption figure in the Weirdo Eco-Rats Computer Models, headed for the Tory Sandbox to play with out there, that's where they belong, bluddy idiots with toys... Why don't they predict the Lotto Numbers... They ought to call Economic Rationalism: Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

Meet The Press Has The Honorable Kim Beazley Setting The Scene For Labor, An Unashamedly Interventionist Labor

Back from hols, and Ten's Meet The Press has the Honorable Kim Beazley setting the scene for Labor, already called it an Unashamedly Interventionist Labor, carrying on with Industry Policy, not to be backing away from the programs which were taken for granted by the voters when the CutBack Tories chopped through them with Health cuts, Education and Training cuts, and all the Public Services, and Labor was to be credited with the economy settings withstanding the Asian Meltdown, so far that is, and the Labor Presidency election was democracy at work, what's the problem with healthy democratic principles at work, and out in the open, Kim reckons the Tory Intransigence on Wik is calling for the Double Dissolution, for the Race Election, they spoil for a fight on every damn thing seems to me...

To Get The Labor Party To Adopt A Policy And Fall In Behind It, Is One Of The Greatest Miracles Of Aussie Democracy

The Labor Party Conference still has that flame though, the Light On The Hill, the aspiration to look after the Greater Good, to get the Labor Party to adopt a policy and fall in behind it, is one of the greatest miracles of Aussie Democracy, how these deals and compromises and promises gel into the directions for Government are one of the great wonders, from all walks of life the movers and shakers form the factions, to get to have a say, and get supported or rolled, but out of it all the living changing adapting and traditional ideas all get bound up in a solidarity of purpose at least, and it's done in open democracy, contrast them with the Messiah Tories where they all sit in the congregation agog with glassy-eyed mesmerism and then go out and plot their secret agendas...

That Loss Of Security Feeling Is Labor's Big Ace Card, St Cheryl Will Talk To The Hearts And Desires And Capture Their Votes

And the times are calling for Labor to redress the Right Wing Tory swing that has done all the damage, right round the whole bluddy world, pull the big needle back to the Left, a statistic came out saying part time jobs were dissolving confidence, homes and marriage and family were disappearing options when there was no job security, and loans at the lowest interest rates were still not providing opportunities to set up a family life, that Loss Of Security Feeling is Labor's Big Ace Card, looks like St Cheryl will talk to the hearts and desires and capture their votes, hope so...

3, or is it 5, degrees of separation.
How anyone on Earth can make the connection to any other person.
Interesting idea.

In Wonderful Hobart, Some Snippets From Big Kim And Barry Jones, A Standing Ovation, Excellent Thoughts On Things

Been hearing from the Labor Conference just starting down in wonderful Hobart, some snippets from Big Kim and Barry Jones, a standing ovation, excellent thoughts on things, inspiration to the fair-go Aussie heartland, but saying how some of the Public does have this Conservative streak in it, more's the pity, the Colonial Hangover, and there was also the Heartland of Labor that needed the security of employment in order to live... How Labor ever fell for that Privatisation Competition crap is beyond me... And then how the current PM, the Little Out of Touch Twirp was at a loss to understand the Aussie People, how he mis-read every major issue and had caused the fears and reticence in the community with a Mean-Spirited Cruel Lack of Leadership...

The Right Wing Models Of Rule Is The Problem, Copying The Perceived Wisdoms From Rich Living In Overseas Basket Cases

But I reckon there's a sicker philosophy dragging things down world wide, and talking with Houie how you see the results the worst in South America, a sort of Human Armageddon and the USA isn't far behind, taking the Right Wing models of Rule is the problem, copying the perceived wisdoms from rich living in overseas basket cases is the basis of the problem, it started with the fall of Communism and the discrediting of the Welfare State, then the Private Media of the Mind pushing Privatisation and Competition Policies and Free Trade...

A Step Back In Time, Have A National Bank For A Start, And National Media, And Re-Nationalise All Those Other Needs Of Life

There needs to be a bigger revolution in thinking... Some Tory critic said Labor was taking a step back in time, well so they bluddy well should, have a national bank for a start, and national media to blot out those private mind managers, and re-nationalise all those other needs of life, leave the bells and whistles for the Competitive Dogs to fight over, whoops sorry to the Dogs, Greed Ridden Rotten Humans it should be...

A Strategic Compromise In Order For The Democracy To Work, Capturing The Mood And The Feelings Of The Electorate

But down in the Labor Conference there's going to have to be a strategic compromise in order for the democracy to work, capturing the swing and the mood and the feelings of the electorate is what it's all about rather than pushing a philosophy, but then that platform becomes the philosophy, looks at how the Mean Cruel Heartless and Out of Touch tags have attached to the Mad Tories, that crazy love affair with Mad Maggie too, saying there was no such thing as a society and that everyone was on their own, that's a bitch of an idea, and seems rejected by all those it touches, a universal opinion has grown to be averse to these Cruel Mean Tories in that short horrible term of theirs...

When do you wish you were a tennis ball Houie?

The New Version Of The Inquisition In The USA To Convert A Person

So nice the New Version of the Inquisition in the USA to convert a person to xtianity saves her from their xtian death penalty, they scream blue murder to kill off all these lawbreakers and then when this female turns to bright eyed religious madness they all clamour to have her spared, wasn't that the same old technique through history to convince people to fall into line... But don't worry George Bush's son wont wimp it, where's that needle...

Oh, I'm sorry, the devil made me do it, but now I've found Jeeeeesus, so let me go...

OK then, besides it looks pretty weak to murder with lethal injection pretty pale-skinned females when we're really just after non-white males...

Oprah Is On Trial In The Land Of The Free... A Test For The Freedom Of Speech

Meanwhile Oprah Winfrey who doesn't eat McMurder Burgers no more cause they might have Mad Cow disease from feeding dead cows to live cows which are killed and stuffed into McMurder Burgers and fed to now not so unsuspecting carnivore human consumers, well Oprah is on trial in the Land of the Free for saying so... A test for the Freedom of Speech, just as well President Clinton's old forgotten Sexual Harassment Harasser wasn't a vegetarian, she wouldn't have a leg to stand on, but she's propped up by the Religious Right too, jeeeesus they're busy little buggerers...

Talking Heads, They've Got To Be Kidding To Think A Construed Conversational Construction Will Appear Natural

Oh No, even SBS Ethnic Broadcasting News, Mary is talking to a reporter, Arrrgh, must be that new turkey they took on board, instead of lissening to a Journalist with a Report you get a conversation, they've been doing it all over and now it's come to this, when can we get back to vision of relevance and away from talking heads, they've got to be kidding to think a construed conversational construction will appear natural, if only they'd get heads off camera and just do the news, although SBS Ethnic Broadcasting does have better heads than the rest... Mary, Indira and Lee Lin...

Amazement Again With The Labor Party Conference Media Coverage

Unabashed amazement again with the Labor Party Conference Media Coverage, how on earth is the election of the Labor Party President an issue of being disorganized cause you don't know the result beforehand? And how come putting the Popularly Elected Republican President on the agenda for consideration is the major story? It will never get up, there is no way The Question will ever be put in a referendum, there will never be acceptable Coding Of The Powers, they will never agree to anything like it, that's not to say the Draft Constitutional Amendments wont make an interesting background to history... The media however went for sensationalist grabs, would be better to get Malcom McGregor? Cover it, he makes sense... And what was Kerry doing to Kim? Kerry must have come back from hols just looking for something to get his teeth into... I was amazed, spose that's the Media Par for the Course too...

The TV News Is The Other Branch Of Government, These Puppets Dance To Stay In Step, There's Something So Dangerous In It

Wow, The Uncertain Eye on Our ABC, Four Corners, has the story of television, such an impact on society, and looking back is so raw and naïve and looking forward is so image conscious, the TV News is the other Branch of Government, and it's such a grab bag, orchestrated they say, and these puppets are having their strings pulled, and they dance to the tune and stay in step, there's something so dangerous in it, ought to be codified in the Constitution too, like a powerless President, but a President with Popular Support appearing on Television could assume powers and who could sack him, or her, or the Cyborg Lesbian version... Seeing Mad-Mike reveal his wide-eyed strangeness and say how they thought they were the new priesthood was a bit of a worry too...

Cheryl, She's Taken On The Most Honourable Fight, And Then To Have The Bluddy Furniture Van Destroy Half Her New House

Poor Cheryl, she's taken on the most honourable fight for her country, made the sacrifice of putting herself forward in the Public Eye, given the hope for her voice to be added in destroying this rotten Tory Government, having gone through the nerve wracking processes of the transition to the Labor Party, and then on top of all that to have the bluddy furniture van destroy half her new house right in the middle of the bluddy conference when she's doing her very best, and then to have a camera stuck in your face in a moment of private privilege, so between the opening and closing doors which she took in her stride, she gave the rotten TV Camera a piece of her private mind... Good on ya Cheryl... Heartless shits in the media need a good school teacher telling off, was a good move, don't let them get to ya Cheryl... And if they do tell them so, look at all those who already have...

Why Didn't The TV-Camera Give Her A Hand With The Bags... 'Twas Doing The Job? The Job Of Parasite-Paparazzi-TV

And how do they like FrontLine sticking them in the spotlight... This is media creating harassment news, images to titillate, maybe anyone who wishes to remain unseen should simply hold up a stop signal, but then Cheryl was shown struggling alone with her hands full of baggage, why didn't the TV-Camera give her a hand with the bags... 'Twas doing the job? The job of Parasite-Paparazzi-TV, now they're giving Cheryl the Princess-Di Treatment...

There was a Hate Radio special stir, some Queensland Redneck Doctor recommended taking babies away from young mothers and taking money away to punish them, woke up to it on Talk-Back radio this morn, and you shoulda heard the Mad-Righteous indignation agreeing with it, there's a mad core out there, you could use that questioning technique to ask the Rednecks further questions on this one, if you keep on asking them, What Then? Like you take away the baby, What Then? You take away the money, What Then? Etc and ad infinitum.... Wipe em out comes at the end, The Final Solution...

A Hobart Ferry Going Up River To Have The Special ALP Dinner And Hear From Cheryl, A Sign Of Good Hope

The ALP Conference is on a Hobart Ferry going up river to have the special dinner and hear from Cheryl, a sign of good hope, looks OK, and the Wik pledge to hold a summit with all the interested parties, hosted by Prime Minister Kim Beazley gives more hope, some relief in these last days of the Tory Cretins, and the Australian Labor Party Conference is back on the rails, the image of the Big Powerful Government Political Party coming over after the comparisons to the Democrats, the Big League and Factions and Negotiations, it's the image of the next Proper Australian Government getting into gear...

The Wik Tax Will Be Put To The People, How The Compensation For The Land Grab Will Be Funded By Tax-Payers

With the worries from Right Wing Queensland where the Wik Tax will be put to the people soon, how the Compensation for the Land Grab will be funded by tax-payers, while rich Lease-Holders walk away with Freehold grants on Native Title Lands, where's the money coming from otherwise? More Welfare cut-backs? This Little 10 Point Rip-Off came on and sour faced and squeaked out a whiney little response...

I-Comrade Feel Sickened By The Little Bigoted Twit Every Time... If Only There Was A Sex Scandal

Well on that note... How the Little Twirp was getting smaller and more sour? Julia's noticed it, he's in over his head in deep bullshit. Houie doesn't remember much but he knows that Little Disaster every time he pops up on TV, and Houie remembers Keating in contrast, and I-Comrade feel sickened by the Little Bigoted Twit every time... If only there was a sex scandal some Priest confesses something obnoxious he did to him... Nope, the big scandal was his leaving mummy at home at 32... Jesus, he needs, Ummm.. Wot? A Coup would be good, Ides of March style...

Tough Guy Fishermen Are Ignoring The Plight Of The Tuna, Dwindling Stocks, Huge Prices, Money-Money-Money

Tuna Wars have GreenPeace zipping about in Inflatables in the Southern Ocean where these tough guy fishermen are ignoring the plight of the Tuna, dwindling stocks, huge prices, money-money-money, endangered wildlife, GreenPeace ought to be commended, they do a dangerous job to put these cretins in the spotlight...

Our Free Trade Partners Have Images Of Young Unionists, Intimidated By Police At The Behest Of The Capitalist System

Workers riots in our Free Trade Partners have images in the media of young Unionists, men and boys being beaten and stripped and kicked and punched and threatened and intimidated by the better paid police at the behest of the Capitalist system, and these Brave Unionists are in clashes all over lately, it's a growing dissent which will never be silenced...

All Round Public Service Employee David Hill Put His Hand Up For Pre-Selection In Hughes

The misfortunes of the Tory Disaster Government together with the SocceRoos have allowed the adventurous ex-State-Rail Boss, ex-Public-Broadcasting Your Our ABC, Boss and all round public service employee David Hill put his hand up for pre-selection in Hughes the old seat of Robert Tickner ex-Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, so David Hill may find his best stamping ground ahead of him...

The Magic Of Humour, Cheryl Made Light Of The Trubbles And Joked Her Way Through With Some Confident Well Chosen Words

The ALP Conference was controlled and stage managed they say until the Kernot Conference got going and she did a speech which had the missing ingredient, the magic of humour, Cheryl made light of the trubbles and joked her way through with some confident well chosen words, and overshadowed the whole event, but the media picked out some Fault Lines in her speech to pick on, why on Earth can't we have our heroes with out all this carping crap, but the smiles and laughs pervaded the scene, seemed to appeal to the very bunch of electors she was supposed to, the Baby Boomers...

The Baby Boomers Assuming Their Values In Life From TV Was A Scream, And So Horribly Revealing But True...

And the Sydney Morning Herald did the Baby Boomers, with Hugh McKay and David Dale, so good, both articles, and painted out the baby boomers with a real colourful brush, and that list of attitudes that David Dale had was a classic, the Baby Boomers assuming their values in life from TV was a scream, and so horribly revealing but true...The job aspiration for Boomer Guys was Scriptwriter for the Dick Van Dyke Show, and Boomer gal was as Assistant Producer for Current Affairs Mary Tyler Moore style, and the appropriate Ridicule and Contempt for Politics came from Mavis Bramston, while the Most Iconic Figure Is The Mummified Brian Henderson who I never ever watches at all regardless, and how the Role of the USA Gov was to do a Mission Impossible Worldwide after which the Cold War fails due to the Ineptitude of Maxwell Smart, and then he did the favourite phrases, oh god...

What Phrases Express The Aussie Boomer World View?

They say there is a theory that the first sex accompanied to Boomer Music would stay forever embedded in their minds, these deeply held moments would shape their thinking... What phrases express the Aussie Boomer World View? These ones:

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

Most people I know think that I'm crazy.

Imagine, there's no heaven, no religion too

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail

He ain't heavy he's my brother

There will be answer, let it be

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Ooo mau mau mau mau... Ooo mau mau mau mau... Ooo mau mau mau mau... Ooo mau mau mau mau... Ooo mau mau mau mau... Come and see the Real Thing...

Indonesia's Habibe And Big Bucks, Seems He's The One Who Pumps Never Ending Diverted Funds In To Madcap Ideas

The Asian Meltdown has drawn attention to Indonesia's Habibe and Big Bucks, seems he's the one who pumps never ending diverted funds in to madcap ideas, rustbucket Navies, High Tech Turmoil in a country which needs employment for millions of labourers, pay packets for the poor, and this guy is put forward as the next in line for the Presidency, crazy...

Scandal Blows Up Around Clinton, He's An Excellent President For That Capitalist Basket Case

And now another scandal blows up around Clinton, watched his in depth interview tonight and he's an excellent President for that Capitalist Basket Case, but this time they have tapes of him talking to another young woman, but he was stolidly putting it into a box and getting on with being President, he's the best one they've got, by allowing the Punies to destroy a man doing a good job is stupid, the relative issues which he is there to handle are far and away over and above any playing about he does in his private life... He did an excellent job to put the crap into perspective with what his job is...

Who On Earth Are You Ever Going To Get To Do These Jobs When They Drag Out A Person's Background in Sex...

Who on Earth are you ever going to get to do these jobs when they drag out every tid-bit of wowserism in a person's background in sex... More media beat up to let the underminers destroy the Best President they could have had, 'twas the same smear process on all the Good Ones... The smearers should never get a victory, I prefer the President staying put and dealing with things than any of those smearers, is that all they have to worry about, any other country and they'd be disappearing...

March On March On... No craven soul, shall rule for us the land...

Humanity Has Sex Ya Know Ya Stupid Puritanical Cretins, Bill Clinton Has Been Doing A Good Job As President, One Of The Best

Wimmen, first there's The Gals of the USA President, the lovable rogue and his escapades, and his Stand By Your Man wife Hilary, the First Couple, doing their job and having the Inquisition foisted up them, all the time, a relentless pack of dirt diggers, and what have they got, a few willing grrrls smitten with Charm and Power, was always thus through History, what a wank they are, Humanity has sex ya know ya stupid puritanical cretins, and it's all to do with him being President, why bother otherwise, who cares anyway what they do between themselves, Bill Clinton has been doing a good job as President, one of the best, having these wowsers setting him up is disgraceful, they're the ones with a problem... Most people would love to have a bit more scandal in their lives, one of the great regrets not to have had a longer string of affairs, half his luck...

The Young Aussie Of The Year Is A Luvly Aussie-Vietnamese Girl From Melbourne, Tan Li

Meanwhile speaking of Wimmen, the Young Aussie of the Year is a luvly Aussie-Vietnamese girl from Melbourne, Tan Li, commended for helping organise her community, and making a magnanimous acceptance speech, even if the Little Bigoted Twirp was standing like his Indistinguishable Wax Dummy beside her...

There Was Indira Naidoo Doing A Speech On The Matter Of Adopting Australia As Her Beloved New Home

And after that Iconic Image for Cultural Diversity there was Indira Naidoo doing a speech on the matter of adopting Australia as her beloved new home broke down with the emotion of it all, with the current disappointment brought by the Racist Tory Government... Never mind Indira, the whole debacle brought on by the Tories will never prevail in Australia, there's too many well informed and educated decent people to set things right again...

You Should Always Vote With The Left Wingers, Don't Ever Let Right Wingers Screw You...

Just vote Green-Labor for a start... You don't ever vote for people who represent the privileged, there is always a class war in affect, don't ever trust people driven by profits, it's simple, only trust those who don't monopolise and enslave others, it's a simple principle, when Battler's get dissatisfied with the Government you should always vote with the Left Wingers, don't ever let Right Wingers screw you...

Put Some Green/Labor In, They Adhere To The Best Ideals For The Planet, Everyone And Everything, Inclusive Diversity...

Look at what's happened since Paul Keating was deposed by swinging to the Right, should have put some Green/Labor in, they adhere to the best ideals for the planet, everyone and everything, Inclusive Diversity...

Don't stand in the doorway, you'll block up the hall...

The Other Half Made Up Of Nationals, So-Called Liberals And Wun-Nazi-Nation, Who Would Form The Coalitions?

Elections in the air, there's the Race/Tax/Wik Elections, and Queensland goes first, so what if they end up with Half Labor and the other Half made up of Nationals, So-Called Liberals and Wun-Nazi-Nation, who would form the Coalitions? Say Wun-Nazi-Nation got several seats, or a lot of seats, or just one seat, or hopefully none... Makes for a new problem in life if they get up, all those scenarios, Labor is the only good one for a peaceful resolution with a real fair go, the other's would create a festering sore...

The New World Order, Hearing The Philosophizing Of How Life Is Nowadays, The Dregs Of The Boomer Years

Got up in the middle of the night for relief from boredom and feeling sick, sat out on the back verandah and there were just three flashes of lightning, through the trees, away in the distance, down on the horizon, and then nothing, seemed strange, still and glowing sky reflecting the city light, but really alone stuck in the New World Order, hearing the philosophizing of how life is nowadays, the dregs of the Boomer Years, leaving people in a dissatisfied lifestyle, the tinny tinsel, and selfishness of the way of the WestWorld, and then the idea of riding the Planet Earth through the curved space, the Universal perspective shrinks such matters, and the news from a SpaceCraft in the Grip of Gravity from the Gas Giants orbiting out there and one tiny little moon asking questions about watery Life? The shifting ice crust and slow spin of Europa, mooning about up there, a probable watery ocean under the cracked icy surface... Harbouring what?

That Young Beautiful Intern Ought To Get A Medal Of Honour, Keeping The President Of The Sates In A Good Frame Of Mind

A Thunderstorm which wouldn't get serious, so there's another strange day weatherwise, was hanging around the mountains all night, I Saw it flashing 3 o'clock in the morning, but no storm like that developing over Bill Clinton, and it's all in the wrong perspective, that young beautiful Intern ought to get a medal of honour, she did the Public Service of keeping the President of the United Sates in a good frame of mind, she idolised him and gave him that relief from the pressures of Head of State, there he was with the weight of the world's problems on his shoulders and the In-Tray full of crisis, and she comes into his life to provide the little diversions...

Have A Little Gallery Of Smitten Ladies Off The Oval Office, An Excellent Way To Keep Him Pointed In The Right Direction

Instead of sitting in Cabinet Meetings with unrequited lust thoughts on his mind, Bill would have got his rocks off with her Public Services, and then Bill would be concentrated on the Affairs of State rather than daydreaming of her, she is to be commended, ought to be more of it, have a little gallery of smitten ladies off the Oval Office, the Toy Room, the President could just choose whatever it takes, an excellent way to keep him pointed in the right direction, like Houie said it should be one of the Perks of the Office, there's enough Patriotic young maidens who'd be willing wenches, or young men for the First woman President to come... Poor Bill, he's still got Buddy spose... Now what preferences do Cyborg Wun-Nazi Nationalists want to drain their red-necks for a while, torture chambers is probably going too far... Or a Firing Range could be an Option, well I reckon Bill's loving is a better way, whatever he does...

This is my rifle, this is my gun,
This is for fighting, this is for fun...

The Inclusion Of The Popularly Elected President Issue Brought The Little Cruel Froth And Mean-Spirited Bubble Out To Comment

The postmortem of the Labor Party Conference has come and gone, little inside stories of intrigue about factional influences, some worries about St Cheryl's ability to cope with her patience being rundown by a truck and all through one desperate Media question, but the inclusion of the Popularly Elected President issue brought the Little Cruel Froth And Mean-Spirited Bubble out to comment, and he's finally said two things to agree with, spew but true, going against the Popularly Elected President is one, and forgot the other one???????

A Brand New Power Base, The Question Remains, How On Earth Do You Get Rid Of An Idiot? Impeachment? Like With Clinton?

There's No Way Australia ought to saddle itself with another Political Institution like a Popularly Elected President... I like the Aussie System of Power we already have, just Representatives of Electorates in a Democratic Parliament to run the Politics, where every member is equally empowered, and they get together to empower the Prime Minister from amongst themselves, and can just as easily replace him or her, we have never had a National Election Campaign for a Head of State where everyone votes for one person, it would be a brand new Power Base, and the biggest question remains, How on Earth do you get rid of an idiot? Impeachment? Like what's going on with Clinton? Ridiculous... I will bet that madmen like Saddam Hussein would jump at such opportunities to thumb their noses at a Challenged President, like Benjamin Netanyaho or Yassah Arafat must have been thinking when the President is sidetracked beside them... Besides they will never put the PE President Question in a referendum...

The PE President Is A Redneck Say, And Wants To Respond With The Army, The PM Says No, It's A Police Matter, Or Vice Versa

If a Popularly Elected President took on a Prime Minister politically, regardless of the Codification, the High Court would be dragged in as well, and who is holding the reins? Who is at the Wheel? Who can call out the troops? The PE President is a RedNeck say, and wants to Respond with the Army to Indonesian infiltration of refugees, and the PM says No, it's a police matter, or vice versa, who's gonna go through the codification, how long will that take? What if the PE President goes against the Parliament? The PE President could create an international incident, and you can't get rid of the Loose Canon, a PM can be deposed of in the Morning Tea Break, Goodbye Bob Hawke, Hullo Paul Keating for example... Have a Geek at what I heard The Big Picture Man say...

The Election Campaign For A PE President Would Guarantee A Politician, The Left Would Never Let The Right In, And Vice Versa

Look at all the power the USA has invested in one person, a Ronald Acting Reagan for instance, Dr Strangelove, or one who goes mad while he's in there, a la Hawkie... The Election Campaign for a PE President would guarantee a Politician, the Left would never let a Right Winger in and vice versa, the Nice Woman version of a President, Queenly in some Princess Di way, or one of those luvly Aboriginal Women like Lois O'Donohue that everyone else wants, or like the Mary Robinson the Irish had, the whole thing would be submerged with politics, like the last Irish Election was, there was all this rhetoric about Abortion and Catholics and the Troubles... Instead we'd have Political Madness like they have in the USA, and who wants just one untouchable to be god every day...

A Nice Person Who Isn't Into Politics Who's Only Power Is To Announce An Election Over Deadlocks, The Referee President

Just have Parliament appoint the Referee President for the Parliament, a nice respectful person who isn't into politics who's only power is to announce an election over deadlocks, like the Governor-General Sir William Deane, you can't trust the electorate to do that, the electorate watches Channel Nein and 60 Commercial Minutes and thinks they're informed for christ's sake... They don't even read this... jeeesus... They even voted for the Tories last time...

The Referee President Must Judge When To Ask The People, Only Use The Power To Order An Election. The Big Jury Goes Out For A Verdict

But the Referee President must Judge when to Ask The People to decide on Deadlocks, and only use the Power to Order an Election. Simple, the people decide, the Big Jury goes out to be asked for a verdict.

For The Boomers

Yes, for the Boomers, the words come rolling in, don't we all love it more than Shakespeare ever was, and understood exactly what it meant at the time, it was like an appetiser. Some more!

Jeremiah was a bullfrog..
She came in through the bathroom window....
Lay lady lay...
Baby I'm a want you...

Wondering What The Little Bigoted Twit Would Have In His Toy Room

Houie and I, talking about Poor Bill's Predicament with Peccadilloes and having the Toy Room off the White House for the special interests of the President, got to wondering what the Little Bigoted Twit would have in his Toy Room, a long silence, little wax Menzie Dolls perhaps, could have had one of those Norman Bates Mothers, wouldn't be a little mirror in there would there with no image, wouldn't be any bluddy thing, A goat said Houie, a Nanny Goat or a Billy Goat? Wouldn't matter, something small he could get on with, to talk to me, a goat would understand him, they'd make friends, and the right height to ride it... Or a cricket bat I say, made out of a picket fence, take it to bed with him. With a ball Sir? Nope there'd be no balls in there at all...

Having The President Lose His Job By Having This Sex Scandal Is Scandalous

The idea of having the President lose his job by having this sex scandal is scandalous the real culprits being those dirt diggers, and did you see the President hugging that grrrl in the crowd, looking at him too, like he was the President, and then she said things into a microphone at the Prom too, gees I was shocked, and so was Houie, and nothing's fair in love and war... Wonder how far... They burnt the witches... It'll be one of those tit for tats off into the future, could end up with the only virgin in the Realm Quest, another Princess Di like they dollied up for Poor Prince Charles, Hmmm, how long will this go on for, maybe a fireside chat with head would best explain it... Would like the TV rights to that...

The Various Cultures Do Their Dances, The Music, The Dress, The Wildness Quota

It's the defining activity, where the various cultures do their dances, the music, the dress, the wildness quota, the Rave Dance Parties with Xtasy and Expensive Water, Chill Out rooms, they say the drugs release Seratonin which enhances activity and repetitive movements, ideal for the throbs, for the clean kids it's good healthy exercise, in fantastic but death ridden sites, like old silos and derelict wharves, the more abandoned and rejected the more it suits the young dancers, some as old as 45, whereas up in Tamworth at the Country Music Festival you've got regimented ranks marching about in step, doing line dancing, like pews in church, keeping up with the neighbours, all looking the same, all acting the same, and then clap, a real yippee Guinness record too... Don't wanna get too complicated... Now everybody Nod...

The Power Fails And It's A Blackout... What To Do, In History It's Been Cards Or Sex They Say

The Thunderstorm did more than threaten and came on with some Four Minute Deluges, nothing like the Forty Days and Nights you used to get, had Houie doing his talks with upstairs, going out on the porch to let fly with a few unanswered requests to the heavens, he loves chancing a lightning strike with a few well chosen words, What're ya doin' up there ya silly ol' bugger, ya never bluddywell lissen do ya, well ya can go and... That sort of thing, and lives to tell about it, Do any good Houie says I, he comes in and says I told him Sir, but it's as if he ain't there... The power fails and it's a blackout... What to do, in history it's been cards or sex they say, always a blip in the birth rate nine months later... Must've been People surrounded with dead appliances and silent screens, unlit refrigerators, the fans, the heaters, Canada frozen in icy rain still, the power of power so clear when there isn't any... Dug out the old primus for a cuppa, was heaven playing round with that... Didn't chop any wood but sitting it out on the verandah was full of how to light fires...

Come then, but if you've no feeling for me, then go...

Beautiful Australia Day, Tall Ships Going Out The Harbour, People From All Over Lining Up To Sign The Sorry Book

The day of introspection, the day of outward celebration, Invasion Day, or a Day of Mourning Australia Day, can't make it, too sickly... But after another sore toe soak and some treatment did make it, got out there on a crowded train, with mums and dads and wingey kids on a rare train ride. Beautiful day with an offshore wind but the Tall Ships didn't drop sail going out the Harbour, Tasmania bound, the aircraft noise corridors were put aside by a screaming flyby of Fighters, and then some aerobatics, large loops of greenhouse gas emissions left smoking in the sky, so many people from all over lining up to sign The Sorry Book provided by the Australians For Native Title, was a nicely filled in neat couple of pages which I Saw when he dropped his monica on it, and after some thought for an expression put I'm Sorry... And sat in the seat vacated by Diamond Jim McLelland, a good spot in the shade, so many families, and so many mixed families, there's a real melting pot going on out there...

Battery Point, Those Big Canon To Straddle Beneath The Harbour Bridge, Love That Spot

Some fabulous Music up the Rocks, and big crowds in the Pubs, dropped into the Irish Bar... Then the Harbour from Battery Point, those big canon to straddle beneath the Harbour Bridge, love that spot, people laying about on the green hills, kids crawling all over, then these Merry Revellers wanted to climb on to my Canon for some photos, Can we get our photos taken on it mate... Oh don't make him get off ... But three luvly maidens appealing to I am enough... It's ok seeing as it's Australia Day, there ya go, but don't bend it... Oh hahaha, thanks mate... There you are we polished it for you... Thanks a lot first one this week... Ooowaaa heeheehee, and then they were so sweet and had a few more stubbies with them...

Keeping Up With The Joneses, And What Will People Think? Means Stuff-All When The Political Chasms Open Up

And then the inevitable run-in with older people you know but have left behind in their own world as the politics drove a wedge in, that other world, where they luv Surfers Concrete Paradise and are brown as peanut shells, and train every day, an obsessive regimen to retain youth, but but but, so fit it shows their age... You've let down nicely Sir... they said, so I told them about my own flat out lifestyle and complimented them... You all look so fit, you must still be having sex eh... Ooo haha, if we ever get the time... So I was quite content to have them rush off... Funny how keeping up with the Joneses, and what will people think? Means stuff-all when the political chasms open up...

If The Pope Had Had A Young Intern... There Might Have Been A Deeper, More In Depth Probing Coverage...

The Pope with his mate Fidel saying as how The Holy Market was dividing the world on rich and poor lines, and saying as how family planning was a sin, and other things too unimaginative to mention... Attractive interesting entertaining informative it wasn't, but if the Pope had had a young intern... There might have been a deeper, more in depth probing coverage...

Men will rise, men will fall
Like a show piece of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

Chronic Unemployed Transported From The Mainland, The Locals Have Suffered The Crime Wave Of Unemployment

Another microcosm of the big wide world, there's a little King Island down in Bass Strait and the Tories Work for the Dole has some chronic unemployed transported from the Mainland on work projects in some subsidised way, the locals have suffered the crime wave of the unemployed, the island operated in isolation on trust, now they're locking up and looking to security, the crime rate has gone through the Church Roof, mostly burnt out by arson the old BlackButt Timbers still a reminder of the Island before it was cleared... Hmmm, there's a lesson in that for all of us...

Segregating The Society By Race, Religion, And Wealth... This Is The Tory Governments Apartheid By Stealth

Segregating the society by race religion and wealth, this is the Tory Governments apartheid by stealth, they are funding private schools teaching strange philosophies and reducing funding of State Schools, the very thing which provides the Australian character of having a common background experience, of all the destructive social engineering, that one of splitting up the youth is the worst, there was once an Australia divided between xtian Protestants and Catholics, like Northern Ireland is, having private schools is the surest way to create those divisions... With all the glories and advantages of Cultural Diversity for Australia, I reckon religions ought to be kept out of schools, OK to do it privately, the more private the better, keep it to yourself, a secret god, just keep quiet about it, Public Schooling and Science is under threat from this mob, christ they're a pack of Disruptive Deadheads this Tory cabal...

Australia Day Awards, How Come They've 1^st Class For The Rich And 4^th Class For The Poor?

Like those Australia Day awards, how come they've 1^st Class for the rich and 4^th Class for the poor? Remember Paul Keating wouldn't take a gong under that system, said he was just doing his job anyway and the awards ought to be for selflessness...

Happy Chinese New Year too,
The Year Of The Tiger,
Quick before they're extinct...

Having Used DruDgery In The Mail It Seems A Strange Co-Incidence To See This Pop Up

Not till I dropped some opinion on CNN the other day for the President did the word Drudge appear, cripes, what was that? But the Sydney Morning Herald has it that it was Matt Drudge on the Internet, a site which raises my curiosity, which raises the question of degrees of separation and co-incidence, having used Drudgery in the Mail it seems a strange co-incidence to see this pop up to do with the Presidents Peccadilloes thing... Have to go see the site, but he'd dropped the Bill Clinton scandal when no one else put it out, some news sites carried it but left it out of the papers, the Internet breaks the stories now, that's the new way of the wonder-west-world... Drudgery...

We Await The President Of The West To Give His State Of The World Address

We await the President of the West to give his State of the World address, and not to mention his sex life. And to see how much they support him, shucks, what a buzz... Wonder how many of them just came from an illicit relationship in private, they'll clap or cheer or act self-righteous, and they all wait in judgment, saying things like Bill's fly is stuck, He'll be coming soon, He's on the phone to Monica, He's wet hisself, He's over excited, dear oh dear, He's writing out his resignation, he's providing a pregnant pause, perhaps he was too busy doing his job... Nah here he is and there's a good cheer, so they still love the lovable rogue, he's alright...

That System Of Balances Seems To Be Way Over To The Right In The USA, His Programs Wont Go Through

The applause wells when he says Thankyou, cripes, they sit, he gets introduced again, and there's another applause, Phew... However, it's pandering politics, by compromise the Democrats have gone over the line, maybe Bill is the Best Guy For The Job but that System Of Balances seems to be way over to the Right in the USA, his programs wont go through the Houses, and he knocks backs their legislation, heard an idea for Australia having an Executive President and appointed Staff for Ministerial Administration, and then One Peoples House for passing legislation, the High Court to interpret, Hmmm... I still think the Aussie way works, where would we be without Question Time?

Good LeftWing Principles, Thank God He's There And Not One Of Those RightWing Ridiculous...

Bill had Big Plans, it goes on and on, has good Leftwing Principles, thank god he's there and not one of those Rightwing Ridiculous... Social Security landmark system for our generation... by next year, raise the minimum wage, education for the new age where politics stops at the school gate, tax free for education savings... Everyone gets to have the chance to go on to college, good teachers small class sizes, eighteen! And 5000 extra schools, streuth, and he says We must also demand greater accountability, and another more subtle applause breaks out, Aha, his dick thing again, but then it's Free Trade for USA, where they, At the same time advance conditions and the environment around the world... I ain't convinced... Half the House is staying seated... on their brains... This bloke should be given his head...

The Meltdown Has To Be Grappled With, Asia Contains The USA's Customers And Competitors

Bill reckons the Meltdown has to be grappled with, Asia contains the USA's customers and competitors, So they have to afford our prices for our goods, and they are our competitors, lower prices from them doesn't help our ability to compete either, their strength is our security, if they reform themselves and comply with the IMF then the USA should help, and support the IMF... What sound do rattling chains make when no one is watching the slaves...

Not Kicking Welfare Anymore

And then he's into not kicking Welfare anymore, There's a responsibility to work, not take welfare, and then Healthcare, health in hands of doctors not Insurance companies, healthcare whenever wherever and secret, and the working world's Childcare, Childcare to avoid the difficult choice, having to choose between their job and the child they love...

Bill Has A Big Program...

NATO is getting three more members, Saddam, you cannot defy the will of the world... Weapons of Mass Destruction, You used them once, never again... Election Funding and the airwaves regulated for the elections.. Bill has a big program... The poor at last, they'll get some housing... Sounds good... And some Apple Pie too... And then the environment, A new clean water initiative for our children, Greenhouse changes have resulted in cleaner and greener, and didn't cost the Earth, and Freedom for cultural diversity and to stimulate the things we have in common and share, Hullo he's into Genetic engineering, Kids born now will see the next two centuries, good things yes, but not the other way around, ban clones, never can, the WWWeb to step into the next generation Internet for commerce and chastity, exploring the heavens didn't get the glow up but John Glenn did... The Flag, the Star Bangled Banner song, and the Constitution and the Union, and Gold Bless the United States... Then everyone hugged him... No they didn't...

The Interlopers Have The Tory Government's Full Support And Sympathy, So He's Sorry For Them Is He...

The first punches were thrown in the Clown Wreaths Wharfie War, moving on soon to a National Waterfront Strike, closing down the all important trade they make such a fuss about, and there will be International Union Support, and there will be lack of ships to risk being tied interminably up, and the whole thing is a farce, and the Little Blinking Rabbit In The Spotlight comes out saying the Interlopers have the Tory Government's full support and sympathy, so he's sorry for them is he...

That Poor Loser Jeff, Tsk-Tsk-Tsk, Not A Sure Bet Now, Abandoned In The Sandbox

And sympathy for Felicity and the kids, and for that Poor Loser Jeff, tsk-tsk-tsk, not a sure bet now, abandoned in the Sandbox, what's he gonna do, where's he gonna get the arrogance now, megalomania gone to melancholia and he's about to drop out, hopefully, the messiah falls, a blip in history... And who else is there... Now is the time for Labor's Brumby to lead the way, what a Gambler's Game Plan has done to Victoria, Casinos for public schools, nice swap Jeff, maybe oblivion looks attractive again... What else, shovel sand over Radio 3AW... No more lines of Mussolini Troops across the Parliament Steps, no Bust erected in Albert Park... Poof...

Security People Once Known As Strike Breakers, Same Old Story, Violence On The Picket Line

Ideological Eradication of Unions, seems to be the agenda that we have to suffer from the Tory madness now, images of bussed in loads of Security People once known as Strike Breakers, same old story, violence on the Picket Line, and the inciteful nature of conflict and the McGecko Mob acting out on their own with money from the Farmers Federation, $10 million without getting their approval, and having some sections of the Rural Export Industries not wishing to upset the Apple Cart on a Crusade of Idiocy, losses all round... And it's being pulled in this fragmented period of Aussie History. With the Racial Election looming, a divided society further still... What do you call the complete opposite to relaxed and comfortable, a Little Uptight and Miserable Twirp...

Mutual Obligations, That Means Transportation And Slavery

More dumb buzzwords to put up with, Mutual Obligations, that means transportation and slavery, because their Holy Market System fails they kick the poorest youngest and most desperate... Politics of the ScapeGoat, blame the Unemployed, blame the non-academic students, blame the migrants, blame everyone but themselves, and their greed for profit and squeezing the weakest, the Little Brute vacillating for Redneck Public Opinion, they are pushing to the limit a tinder dry tolerance... Exasperating, how on earth did they ever get into power... Saw the Ex-Elders boss living comfortable and relaxed too, Skase style, on an expensive technicality... Typical...

Media Watch, A Little More Reflection On The Media Themselves, Mistakes, Fabrication, Plagiarists, Ownership, And Ethics

What a pity, Our ABC, Media Watch, a Little More reflection on the media themselves, mistakes, standards, morals, fabrication, plagiarists, the whole ownership diversity questions and free speech ethics, and the self monitoring system, Ha... And Stuart Littlemore going, it's tragic, was my Favourite 15 min show, had a Newsgroup running off it too, and the replacement names put forward, like Piers, shocked me, how about Richard Aklund and Virginia Bell, they were a wonderful couple... Maybe the Man In Black would do it, but he's busy enough with Gladys, Media Watch and the Media should be in the Constitution, if ya ask me, but no one ever does...

Why On Earth Don't They Unionise And Get A Decent Life? Well Why? Cause Brian Told Them No...

The whole thing about the Wharfie War which should happen is the Noddy Battler's should ask themselves Why aren't I getting the wages and conditions the Wharfies get? Answer, Cause you're not in a Union... That's the issue, The Conditions They Receive, they're excellent, and it's the conditions that they're forever arguing about, have 30 or 35 hour weeks, 27.5% leave loadings, and penalty rates and salaries between double, and three times ordinary wages, and these Noddy Battlers winge cause the people in Union's get so much more than they do, it's a cringing jealousy, while the individual Noddy Battler's wages are so poor, the hours so long, the security such a pain in the chest, the pressure to perform such a headache... Why on Earth don't they unionise and get a decent life? Well why? Cause Brian told them no...

Sheilas In The Pink Senate, And Blokes In The Green Reps Room, Makes Sense To Have A Man And Woman From Each Electorate

Women in Parliament, reminds me of having that that idea from long ago too, the House for Women, another Knoll down in Canberra perhaps, or banishing the Blokes down to Old Parliament House, and then having the Sheilas up on the Hill with the grass, or maybe split them up with Sheilas in the Pink Senate Chamber and the Blokes in the Green Representatives, it makes sense to have a man and woman from each electorate, just amalgamate the electorates to keep the numbers realistic, the appointment of Ministers and the Prime Minister could be the same, but having equal numbers in the Parliament of Women to Men has to be done in such a Constitutionally Defined Way... And don't worry about other special representatives of religions creeds and star signs, although the Aboriginals could be guaranteed some seats constitutionally, that would be appropriate...

The Object On View Type Thing... Clumby, She Skirted Around And Wrote A Lot And I enjoyed It All

Just read a Clumby Sydney Morning Herald article, Element of Risk Exposed, was about pants around ankles and the object on view type thing, she skirted around and wrote a lot and I enjoyed it all, but when it was over, just couldn't remember anything about it or had any idea of what she said... Just made you realise you enjoyed it but don't really know why anymore and so you go looking for something else to read... But thanks to her for whatever it was she went on about, was compelling stuff, What happens if the woman laughs? That's part of it... Good question...

Interesting Bookends To The Little Union Bashing Twit Starting A Civil War In The Jenny George Part Of The Country

And then Richard Akland said something about consuming a decent Fluffy Duck in the morning while nude or something, in a civilised alcoholic way, making out we're not all slobos, is that it? Made interesting bookends to the Little Union Bashing Twit starting a Civil War in the Jenny George part of the Country, then there was the Wimmin in Parliament issue, where they belong too, if ya ask me, so political husbands, like I could be, can stay home and hold the fort for them... Have to keep that page for something...

Who's Really Writing The Cheques For All Those Blue-Shirts With Baseball Caps?

They have a little cast of characters in this Wharfie War and there's a special divide between Wreath and the rest, the Government says it's provided the Laws, the Unions are there, the Companies are there, and along comes the National Farmers Federation another union for that matter, and all in collusion, and there's some secret source of money who wont speak up, who's holding the purse strings is a good question, have they just flitched the Farmer's money or is there someone else, a big benefactor with an agenda and the money to make it happen... Is that the Establishment again? The conspiracy we're having when we're not having a conspiracy? Well who's really writing the cheques for all those blue-shirts with baseball caps?

Ice, Cracks, Lichen Growing On Previously Frozen Exposed Earth Surfaces, A Bit Of Grass

Ooo, the Icebergs are coming, the Larsen Ice Shelf is cracking off, lakes of blue melt water on top of the ice, cracks, lichen growing on previously frozen exposed earth surfaces, a bit of grass, can remember defrosting the freezer last month, hosing it out is quicker, those big chunks of ice are so temporary, little slippery atoms just need a small nudge to melt them off... Might all end up like those Scuba Divers left to languish in questionable love out on the Great Barrier Reef, poor things, water may still prove to be the first giver and final taker of life... I love this watery planet too...

Another tear falls...
