Nature Is Making People Know How Puny They Are
Another perfect balmy wintry day, till the clouds rolled in, the weather's been that unusual band of rain bearing cloud streaking right across the map from the Indian Ocean right over Ostraya to the Tasman Sea, it's ocean water that's heated up they reckon, so we have an inland sea of flood again... China has an inland sea of sludge, 100 millions at risk of sickness in the Yangste water, while Sydney just has everybody on the boil about Privatising the Public Water Board, and news of the heatwaves still unrelenting in the Northern Summer, seems nature is making people know how puny they are...
Politics In The Pub This Week, What Was The Election Going To Be About?
But the trip through the city and shops and eateries is still the buzz, so down to Politics in the Pub this week was the big attraction of having Margot Kingston of the Sydney Morning Herald and Bob Ellis of theatrical prose and bard spose, an Icon hisself... The topic was gonna be Triggers for Dubble D's but things have changed, so What was the election going to be about?
So Margot Reckons It's Gonna Be A Values Election!
Margot reckons not so much the GST and Race, cause the Tax Thing with Promises has lost it's clout, cause no one believes the Pollies Promises, the latest crap about the tax reform being good for Ostraya just gets the flip... The Hip-Pocket is a dead nerve now, and besides there is no trust of the Little Covenant with Miners and Farmers, and besides race was a Little Conservative backdown with fear of Wik from the Wonky Wuns making things worse... So Margot reckons it's gonna be a Values Election! Like the demands of Wun Notion for a equality? So OK, lets have equality then, and take them through the Enquiry into how much it will cost to have equality, she reckons if you allow the debate to proceed towards the equality, it's the cutbacks that will show how badly off Public Services have become...
Confrontation On The Race Issues Isn't Constructive, The Demonstrations Are Hardening Up Set Positions
And Margot reckons the Nats wishing to erase the Federal Race Power would also work towards advancing the cause of the Aboriginals, I missed the bit on how, but confrontation on the race issues isn't constructive, the demonstrations are hardening up set positions, conversion to the causes has to come from persuasive information and dialogue, that Dialogue Time is the crucial thing, ponsing about fighting always ends up in dialogue to accommodate the opposition amiably for the future, so skip the fighting...
This Time It's The National Interest, The Values, The Who We Are, What We Want To Be
And The electorate has discovered it's punch, says Margot, the Wonky Wun's vote has the Pollies jumping, it's going to mean a massive pork barreling set of tactics, or the alternative is the appeal to the National Interest, and Margot reckons this time it's the National Interest, the values, the Who We Are, what We Want To Be, and I reckon fairness and fear of the alternative, will make the electorate vote for the conciliation and image that big Kim Beazley is capable of being as PM... Whether he planned it or not, he's the right man in the right place at the right time, this country needs Kim Beazley cause he has a proper heart, and he's intelligent, and he's finished with having anyone else as boss, and he'll do the right thing...
Who Would You Least Like To Spend A Week Marooned With On A Desert Island, Big Kim Or The Little Mean Cruel Bigoted Twit
After all, for the man and woman in the street, the Look And Feel and Whether They Like the Friendly Kim is one of the biggest triggers to catch the votes... Who would you least like to spend a week marooned with on a desert island, Big Kim or the Little Mean Cruel Bigoted Twit who has You on his hit list...
It's Monumental, It's Historic, And Will Change The Face Of The Nation Like Nothing Has Since The Seventies
And it was said the PHONP Phenomenon is just the latest split in the conservatives, that is so, plus there is the disillusioned Labor vote gone across due to the Eco Rat Poison Policies from both the Bib and Bub perception... So most agreed that it's monumental, it's historic and will change the face of the Nation like nothing has since the seventies...
What A Time To Come To Power
Well I reckon the GST will flop, the Libs could well be decimated, the Nats might well be annihilated, the Wonky Wuns will enter the Federal Parliament as the virtual Opposition to a Labor Government, and from there the ship of state goes into uncharted waters, cause by that time the economy might be squeezed into shutdown from being hooked into the Globalisation debacle, what a time to come to power...
Russia, From A Socialised Culture Collapse, They Expected A Deregulated Market To Spring Up Like A Messiah
As an example of Changing Systems take a geek at the stark reality of Russia, from a socialised culture collapse, they expected a deregulated market to spring up like a Messiah and rescue the Ruskies, but it's gone back to barter and growing vegies out the back, while Black Marketeers Profiteer...
To Have A Country Judged, Look At How It Cares For It's Own, It's Done With Taxes...
The city of Moscow has the flash BMW's and Big Gangster Money while the rural areas starve, each year sees more tax collectors murdered, now it's balaclavas and kalishnakoffs? The idea that taxes make the buses and trains run isn't part of the Russian Culture, and there are no services... Taxes make the schools and hospitals run and in Russia they don't, and then the Orphanages are run on promised Wages which never come, but those heartless loveless institutions provide the recruits for police and army... The Tories are the type who make a mantra to keep cutting taxes, it kills the nation off... Here in Ostraya it's the Tory Story, to cut taxes for the Wealthy Income tax avoiders, and impose more GST tax on the poor... To have a country judged, look at how it cares for it's own, it's done with taxes...
A Clever Dick With Words Is Dear Bob Ellis
Meanwhile back at Politics in the Pub, Bob Ellis read some writings like the Little Debacle's Diary of his holidays in Hawksnest and such, the ConCon, and the Early Days of the Enmore Messiah, he's a clever dick with words is dear Bob Ellis...
Catherine Lumby Lashed The Room With Being A Middle Class Comfortable Clique Of Lefties Laughing At Bob's Imagery
But then came the fire and brimstone from the flashing in black of Catherine Lumby of the Sydney Morning Herald and the Media at Macquarie Uni, she lashed the room with being a middle class comfortable clique of Lefties laughing at Bob's imagery... But she challenged them, What would you be telling the audience if it was constituted from the people of Gympie as against Glebe? Cause Clumby has amused me often with articles in the Sydney Morning Herald so irreverent, like the one she did about Bill and Monica, Element of Risk Exposed, was about pants around ankles and the object on view type thing, was compelling stuff, What happens if the woman laughs? That's part of it... Good question...
Uhlaroo/Ayres Rock Being Something You Walk Around And What We Are Between And The Future
In real life she was all energy, Hold this purse while I go speak up and tell this room off... Ha, true blue guts... She did that piece about Uhlaroo/Ayres Rock being something you walk around and what we are between and the future... She's taking it seriously, spose that's what is happening, see what happened when They made their votes count... Seems the Sydney Morning Herald is the last bastion of press freedom, and it's under threat and influence already from the wealthy influence peddlers... Cripes it's all gone so bad, you can never take anything for granted...
The Idea Too Of Drawing Them Out On These Tactics Of Theirs Which Eventually Exposes Them And Undermines Their Position
Gees it was good, real politic, and Margot was moving into the areas of subtlety and warnings, and was pushing the idea too of drawing Them out on these tactics of Theirs which eventually exposes Them and undermines Their position, she was good, Bob Gould did a rave, and Bob Ellis was really good, like sometimes he gets so theatric, but why not, he's a character, and other times he comes in spot on, like the piece on the Little Bigoted Twit's Holiday at Hawksnest written like his own diary... Really good...
Not Easy For Anyone To Have All The Answers, Point After Hypothetical Point, Each One Left A Questioning Silence
Thing is not Bob Ellis writer, or anyone else can carry on question and answer, there's a heap of questions, but not easy for anyone to have all the answers, Margot kept saying point after hypothetical point, and each one left a querulous questioning silence, wondering, and she referred to notes, like she says she's got a theory on it all, can see it happening, and tells people, and yet what can be done to set the agenda, she's still scared about the media moguls taking over Sydney Morning Herald as well...
On The Train Home A Lovely Maori Woman And A Bike Rider/Bus Driver
What a disjointed disunited mulch the Left is now, and half the people still unknowing what's being lost even, but on the train home a lovely Maori woman who had heaps of pro-Labor talk with Luvly Hula Hands, and a Bike Rider/Bus Driver made up the real politic too, went through the whole scenario starting with the security officers, it's a rage of a talking point, the Kiwi lady told sad tales of the Eco-Rat-Rotted New Zealand, but she gave Jenny Shipley a rap, reckons she is actually a People's PM! Surprised to hear, eh... The little bus driver had more vision and opinion than the Little Bigoted Twit could ever hope to see, he was a True Blue Light on the Hill shining there, while he ate his apple, so bluddy healthy...

They Have This Brick Wall? Must Be The Bang Crunch They Like
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the Indianapolis car racing designed so that the spectators sat on the inside of the curves, and the outside was like a gravel pit, then they just sail off the track and get a gravel rash, whereas they have this brick wall and now wire netting? Must be the bang crunch they like... A punishment for being competitive? Self abuse? Self something? Or just plain stupid...
How Immoral The Moralists Are
DNA tests on that woman's dress will prove to be crap emitted by Kenneth Starr, what a typical example it is of how Immoral the moralists are, typical to have the biggest hypocrites using those smearing tactics, spreading a load of crud all over when there's good works to be done, and all the time the Public say, He's ok, lay off, makes you wish Clinton would pull rank on Starr and order him to shut his dirty mouth... Whoops... Freedom to bullshit...
The Dow Is A Measuring A Fantasy
Seems the Dow is a measuring a fantasy, non-index Dow stocks have already dropped dramatically, seems there's an artificial support for the stocks which make up the index, it's another weird reason the crash is postponed... Remember how they clapped last time the crash was averted, and that support came in? But evidently all the other stocks have already gone down 30% already... So the Index isn't indicative anymore..

Go On To Live Happily Ever After, Why Can't We Have A Never Ending Story
Conflict of interest with 60 Commercial Minutes having the Wonky's confront the Three Major Parties, with a deeply moving vision for the future which went, What are you gonna do about it? Eh? Nyah! No what are you gonna do about it? Whereas over on Our ABC there was SeaChange, the final damn episode, what a pity, didn't get to see whether they go on to live happily ever after, why can't we have a never ending story...
1998 August 4, Tuesday, 22:53
The Constrictions Of The Laws As Set Down Right At The Beginning
Spent time on the Eternal Questions today with Houie, cause Paul Davies was popping up doing his source of life arising from bacteria style mineral munchers, so we went through the story from Big Bang to Now, and the Rules and Laws that must be obeyed and cannot change on the big scale and the chaos down in close atomic quantum levels of uncertainty, the constrictions of the Laws as set down right at the beginning, you don't know about before, and can only guess about the future...
A Better Idea Of What We Are, And Who We Are And Where And When We Are, But Why Is Up For Grabs
But the old biblical myths and superstitions can go, cause we got a better idea of What we are, and Who we are and Where and When we are, but Why is up for grabs, like are the Laws to allow Awareness to develop the Mind? So many creatures Know things, awareness of how to exist and go about doing it, like insects seek out foods and mates and defenses, so the Gaining Of Intelligence seems to be a purpose for the Universe, Why it's doing it, and maybe it's just Amusement?
The Complex Thinker Could Be The Purpose... Maybe That Is Just Another Bizarre Property Of The Universe
And then this other guy pops up and says the life developing elsewhere in the Universe, could be completely unintelligent as well, just based on survival alone to succeed, so it was just conceit we were getting with Paul Davies saying the complex thinker could be the Purpose... Maybe that is just another bizarre property of the Universe, the Mind may be more or less concentrated in it's marvelousness...
The Scary Faces Of Racists Have A Hatred Written Into Them... And It's To Do With Survival More Than Intelligence? Cripes
But the Mind still remains the most hard to explain property of life, how those atoms arrange themselves in a head and think about thinking... And how life has developed faces to express and create feelings? Terrifying devilish faces in the insect world and animal world...Where do those designs come from? Like the scary faces of racists have a hatred written into them... And it's to do with survival more than intelligence? Cripes...

Pauline Got Snarly At The Ipswich People, Put Them Down Something Terrible
Like a Little Leaderless Rudderless Twit's idea of a country we've got now, all the stupid things going on, the Nats have a sham leadership spill because the rebellious outspoken Bob Catter is snarling at the Burgermeister, so as they'll dump him, and he can go Wun Notion, nice pair, Bob and Pauline, cause Pauline got snarly at the Ipswich people, put them down something terrible, You'll never get rid of Me, not you rabble, not you over there... And gave you the impression she didn't like those demonstrators at all, looks like concentration camp style futures for Them, like if she gets into power she'll be coming for Them...

A Piece On Pauline's Biography Too, Not Pretty At Home It Seems, She's Left A Lot Of Irate People Behind
Whole lotta finger pointin' goin' on... Read a piece on Pauline's biography too, not pretty at home it seems, she's left a lot of irate people behind rather than those who liked her, dear oh dear, The only people that're gonna get rid of me are my constituents! Brilliant...
Pushing Ahead Regardless Routines, Into The Valley Of Death, He's On A Crusade Now
And then the Little Loser keeps coming up with these Pushing Ahead Regardless routines, into the valley of death, he's on a crusade now against all the odds, he's gonna push on with it, what a jerk, and that's the sorta twirp they have as a Leader? What a hopeless joke, the Little Visionless Magoo with nothing but bad intentions... I'm gonna carry on regardless and then go... So nice to be relaxed and comfortable and regardless about things again...

Not The Quite Franklies, Like Laura Tingle Did A Bit On The Whingeing Country Party Blaming Everyone
There's been a better standard of political writing about lately, some of these ideas being put about have an unusual not the Quite Franklies, like Laura Tingle did a bit on the Whingeing Country Party blaming everyone else, and then says the NFF National Farmers Federation were the ones behind the tearing down of Black Jack's Protected Farms and Industries, the NFF preferred the Eco Rat Poison to get rich quick, and the NFF had been sucked in, used, and spat out by the Libs over Union Bashing the Wharfies... Makes you wonder whether some of those Political Commentators would ever throw their hats in the ring, Laura though, she could leave her hat on...
A Labor Minority Guvmint Of A Three Ring Circus Plus Sideshow...
And then Alan Ramsey, who I usually read in sufferance has been sounding the death knells for the Tories and their Little Messy Messed Up Messiah, like he reckons there's this planning tactical tricky dick scripts to follow, how they spend taxpayers millions on advertising their tax crap and then go in mid October, if the polls slump more it's then put off till next March to pad out the plush lifestyles and have a leadership transition... Inevitably leading to a Labor minority Guvmint of a Three Ring Circus plus Sideshow... Kim versus Pauline Goldfield and Tory Toady and some relative of Doug Anthony?
Racism Came Through The Box, What A Good Excuse To Stay Home Snug
And the ugly pictures of racism came through the Box, all the single households of broken lives and insecurity and the stressed out marriages and the worried workers watched the TV images of Aussies shouting back at the Wuns snarling at them... So the winds whip up and send six metre waves against the coast and waterfalls blow backwards, and tents and roofs and trees feel the blast... What a good excuse to stay home snug and let the rest of the world go by...
1998 August 9, Sunday, 12:32
Another Blink, Or A More Likely A Stunned Mullet, The Wiser World Of Wool Marketing
Seems the Tory Cabinet has done another Blink, or a more likely a Stunned Mullet, the wiser world of Wool Marketing had the Wool Stockpile down to ¼ the size, and so the World's Buyers turn up the test the market, expecting that some of the Million Plus Bales to be part of the auction pricing, the growers meanwhile are producing more wool, in full knowledge, the Wonkys however mumbled into the media and the Tory Cabinet pulls the rug out from under the Stockpile... Everyone's eyebrows go up, and the cheque books shut... Spose producing wool with all it's unnatural acts of god suffered upon them, you gotta expect another Voice in the action... Who does it speak for?
Who Pays When The Water Goes Bad? Take It To The Courts And Let The Lawyers Feed
And acts of god also put the Sydney Water at risk and yet the aggrieved are to sue for damages and impose their costs upon whom? Who pays when the water goes bad? Take it to the courts and let the Lawyers feed and then make a settlement for the losses and who pays? The lawyers get paid though... They put the water rates up don't they? Still if you got sick and were treated in the Public Health Service without fee, like all illnesses, wouldn't that be the way to go, have Water being one of those acts of the many small lower case gods?
Lord Profit Is Their God, And The Market Spokesperson Economist Priest Will Say This And That, And You Will All Jump
But then what if some Eco-Rat-Poison had got into the Water System via ripping-off the Public with criminal neglect, then you've only got Eco-Rat-Poison to blame, it's like they think they're god, oh no the Holy Market driven by Lord Profit is their god, and the Market SpokesPerson Economist Priest will say This and That, and You Will All Jump, cept for Heretics that is... Wouldn't it be nice to have a Public Law System, and how about a Public Accounts Department to do your paperwork? Doctors, Lawyers and Accountants, all nicely nationalised, making a comfortable living for everyone else as well? And how about a Utopia instead of a Competition?
Every Time Monica Gets Bill's Private Parts Into The Limelight
How come every time Monica gets Bill's private parts into the limelight the Saddam Mustard Gas Hussein bell gets rung, and now these bombs go off in USA Embassies, not to mention the Starving Sudan and every other atrocity, this just goes to show that... Ummm, oh sorry, lost the train of prurient thought...
1998 August 11, Tuesday, 20:03
Been Inflicted With Pauline's Eyes Starring At Us From Who Knows Where...
And deliver us from those Eyes... Been inflicted with Pauline's Eyes starring at us from who knows where... The behind the scenes of Mainstream Australia, a certain streak of those non-intellectuals, hugging and worshipping the Eyes... A strange collection they are, been stories of the outrageous extremists and the lost and the outcasts and the misfits, all attracted to the simplistic superiority play... And it's all over the world that same streak in human nature...
An Opportunity For Some New Philosophy To Come Into Being? What About The Good Ol' Mixed Economy
Still hanging by the fingernails to get the Tax Debacle... The only good news is the Democrats, least they have policies and make sense and stand against the other two, they reckon they might well sweep up the disenchanted... Meg Lees seems smart the way she hangs in, maybe there is light along that path, maybe the Wun Notions will self-destruct even more, all's you can do is wait, even the debate has slackened, people are overwhelmed, too much stuff even through the mailing lists... Wouldn't this be an opportunity for some new Philosophy to come into being? What about the good ol' Mixed Economy, nicely regulated and reliable, just another small voice in the storm...
1998 August 14, Friday, 18:46
Can We Come Out Of The Media Lockup?
Is it all over yet? Can we come out of the Media Lockup? Is all the froth and fizz gone flat yet? Cripes what a rotten bluddy country it is when they take that Tory crap as even worth the time of day, there they are making the rich and famous happy at the expense of everyone else, what the hell do you expect from such Self Interest inspired mob of jerks...
There's No Clamour From The People, There's Just The Opposite
Was interesting to hear the talk back with experiences of the VAT Victims from those who have it... Just goes to show that all the criticism leveled at the GST aren't taken into account, the ideological Tory pressure, is all there is, in the drive for it, there's no clamour from the people, there's just the opposite, just a small select greedy minority of self interest, big income earners who hate paying tax, hate putting into the kitty, if they're so opposed it amounts to an unpatriotic treason, it's that treasonous smirk on the Toady Treasurer, and the little Bigoted Twit carries on about being good for Australia, all those other countries were sold the dummy too by their Eco-Rat-Poison guvmints... And it has stopped most of the economies, and created nations of cheats, with huge black markets, and guess who isn't paying their income tax any more? Guess who gained from the Tax cuts? Wasn't Mum, Dad, and the kids at school...
A Demarcation, There's The South East Australia Of Highly Populated Coastal Culturalism
And the redneck Brisbane line, like a demarcation, there's the South East Australia of highly populated Coastal Culturalism, diverse and urban and crowded cities, then there's the rest... Right across the north from Brisbane down through Perth and to Tassie, it's like that demarcation in the US Civil Wars where the South is the North, so when the Northern Territory gets Statehood, the white hood with eyes, they get three Senators? Redneck variety, like Tassie has twelve, while the ACT gets two does it? While Bankstown has more people... But having the GST distributed on populations of the States, where does that put Coastal Culturalism against Redneck Country? Who gets the money? Till the Feds pull their weight... Who's governing for Australia? What about dissolving States and having River Regionals? Seems the Narrow Minded have the centre stage again...
Statehood To The Rednecks Will Give Them Control Over All That Exploitation They Love
And those Powers of Statehood to the Rednecks will give them control over all that exploitation they love, regardless of mere Tailings Dams in the Tropical Monsoonal Kakadu The Senate is the only place where minorities can get a voice, The Greenies can only get in from the less populated states, thank christ for being there at all, and the Democrats, starting to think the Democrats are the way to Salvation, but the Two Party System still seems to have proven itself over time in the Reps, Poor Kiwiland is a headless chook again, politics and the mandate, will the GST get a mandate when there's so many opposed so strongly?
The Business Of Current Affairs
The business of Current Affairs, poor Yana, dear oh dear, best not say anything at all... But Clumby came to her rescue, somewhat, but Commercial Images doing Public Broadcasting, hmmm, there's something missing... Depth? As in out of it? Let's see where the profits are, that Pauline is a ratings winner is a good bet, ah, InfoTaintment, the Media Mindset, heard someone say how the Tories have their Media Friendlies... Brian Pubic Hairs told me... Nothing like profits to drive up the stakes and bring out the spin manipulators, particularly how it all comes out so transparent and people say I just don't believe them anymore...
1998 August 20, Thursday, 12:11
How The Hell Does Acknowledging Witch Hunts And Puritanical Cretins Ever Work
Can't see what possessed poor Bill Clinton to answer back those god damned wowsers, how the hell does acknowledging witch hunts and puritanical cretins ever work, they're bluddy mad, worst mistake Bill ever did was answering those inquisitions, should have stood that cretin up and the whole religious right and said it's none of their god damned business... Bluddy xtians are always causing trubble... No brains...
Every Man And His Dog And His Wife And Kids Have Their Own Opinion
Same load of crap being sprouted by the Tories over the GST Tax Package it's a dead duck... Good thing about it is the intensity of glare the System is getting, pooh poohing people at public meetings is fraught with danger, there is the angry voice coming back every time, seems every man and his dog and his wife and kids have their own opinion on everything nowadays, the consensus isn't there unless you're a pop star...
Parliament Will Have To Vote For Real
Fragmentation ought to give us a Parliament of indecision, the two party system seems to work, cabinet solidarity at least, commitment to the party line, what will New Zealand do without Outright Power? The Parliament will have to vote for real, least they stopped Privatisation in it's tracks... Seems you can't really argue things out in the parliament in public, it has to be done behind closed party doors, all the pressures on decisions go undisclosed... We can only guess and read minds, what a horrible thought, being inside that Little Ugly head, yuck...
Nothing Much Changes In Human Culture
Drowned out in the media blitz as well with the horrors of Irish xtian bombings, the massive China floods, the weather problems all over, the famines prevail, the mass graves, nothing much changes in human culture, police soldiers of the Dopey Drug War gunned down, what the hell do they expect with Wowserism Bans, jesus they're off their rockers thinking they can make rules for social Can And Can't Do's, it promotes black markets...
This Tax Cutting Crap Has To End, The Wealthy Incomes Have To Be Redistributed
And how come that Social Drug sector isn't taxed properly, it's about as big as the oil industry and being blacked is tax free, and why can't there be a Services Tax, just get people to declare how much Service Tax they pay and get a rebate or something, the wholesale tax is excellent cause it hits luxuries, and this tax cutting crap has to end, the wealthy incomes have to be redistributed, they are running away from taxation is all...
Having Always Thought The Beloved Country Was A Virgin Land Under Indigenous Culture
What really has been preoccupying poor I was rearranging the belief system again, having always thought the beloved country was a virgin land under Indigenous Culture, turns out the Great Green Carpeted Rain Forest and lakes and giant marsupials have gone into the ashes of us humans, having two invasions to feel sorry about...
It's A Monumental Swallow To Cope With That Green Armband Version Of Our History
Been dreaming about the Different World that must have greeted the first humans to bring their fire sticks into the Forested Australia, the inland sea was real, the evolutionary evidence of ages to develop the giant Wombats like Elephants with all the foliage to support them, right out in Central Australia, which today is salt pans, the evidence 2 metres down, as usual, buried in silt over the flattest continent on Earth... Dear oh Dear, the Eucalyptus in the old growth forest are really weeds populating the fire stick niche, difficult to recreate an extinct Eden ain't it, it's a monumental swallow to cope with that Green Armband version of our history...
The World When It Was Ripe With Fruit And Giant Animals
And Dr Tim Flannery is being shot as the messenger, but it was humanity in general, the deforestation follows every human habitation, the biblical lands denuded, right across Europe, the Americas, and now the Aussie continent, wouldn't be surprised to find that the missing link of human evolution is under the Sahara desert, which they reckon does have the radar images of a river system like the Amazon, once, that's where the little buggers lost their tails, who used to be magma rock munching microbes, so humans spread over the world when it was ripe with fruit and giant animals and ruined it all, that's progress...
1998 August 22, Saturday, 13:15
The Complexities Of The Split Brake Cables Going Through Some Thrust Plates
Fine weather after all that rain, more destruction courtesy of the Global Warmers, so it was into the city again, in amongst the Cultural-Diversity, the train is the broad cross-section of the human race in school kids and cultural refugees it looked like, looking for Aussie the reputation for tolerance, but then this kid in a beanie brought his bike in and explained to me the complexities of the split brake cables going through some thrust plates to allow the steering wheel to be rotated without cables entwining, it was the tricks you could do to perform doing wheels stands and such, gees he was a good kid, and had that enthusiasm of incorrigible youth, and until he was ready for the 21-speed clusters he was happy to get about on his BMX, but not with footstands, they were more trouble than they're worth with getting caught and breaking axles, so then the tricks of bike maintenance filled up the trip...
Politics In The Pub Was To With The Mooted Children's Commission
This week the Politics in the Pub was to with the mooted Children's Commission, and the speakers were Dr Judy Cashmore of Child Protection and Gary Moore of Social Services... As becomes evident the people with true concern for the oppressed are the quietly spoken and less flamboyant, with such crucial elements of human society being the feral kids being produced, this area of politics is the most neglected, there just isn't the political heavyweight self interested groups getting a share of the cake for kids anymore... The way the Eco-rat-poison world of profit and bottom lines has reduced lives to commodities, makes child welfare and investing in their futures the lowest of priorities, it's abysmal the way resources are creamed off for the rich kids and the individualism ethics lets the rest drop through to the netherworld...
Focus Has Narrowed And Cheapened To Address Crises Of Kids Rather Than Prevention
So Gary Moore unfolds the story of how the focus has narrowed and cheapened to address crises of kids rather than prevention in the first place, how Guvmint priorities had turned to punishment tactics... How the money dried up for Advocacy and Guardianship of kids, and the investment now was in monitoring, that's all the budget would cover...
Emphasis On Law Enforcement And Incarceration, What Are We Going To Inherit From The Feral Generations?
The Wood Report and the Bill for the Children's Commission had been gutted of Rights of the Child, simply lacked Objects and Principles being defined... The issue raised in these talks was the lack of child participation, but I wondered, was bad experience the teacher? Just who would the New Commission take advice from? Would they use some accreditation from sexual offenders? Why in children's matters and not an overall society problem? There just seems to be missing the care of kids and more emphasis on containing and law enforcement and removal to incarceration, what are we going to inherit from the feral generations?
Stuck In Front Of The Box... Turns Out They Mimic The Violence And Backchat
How come the stages of life, youth and love and babies, parental providers, and grandparent nurturing cultural morals, gone now, the kids are rounded up and stuck in front of the box... Turns out they mimic the violence and backchat and miss out on a real education about life... Become hugely educated on characters in the soaps and theme music and mountains of trivia, it's all the go on Good News Week even, a good knowledge is knowing all there is to know about commercial TV... Cripes...
So Many Anecdotals About How We Used To Ride Our Bikes Anywhere And Everywhere And Felt Safe Once
One of the audience was an Aussie Democrat, funny bloke too, went through the litigation state of the Union, in the USA how the society had turned to lawyers to keep people in line, how advocacy groups distort the even handedness of true democracy, and kids advocacy was Unfunded anyway... So many anecdotals about how we used to ride our bikes anywhere and everywhere and felt safe once, but now, it was all worry, the Socially Toxic Diet Of Media made child raising hair raising, and the freedom to play out in the open had gone, it was stuck inside killing things on computer games, and using the same tactics in the other parts of life... A sad picture, no wonder not many turn up when it's the concern for the kids, such a basic thing to have gone so basically wrong...

Get Ready To Duck And Remember Not To Breath
And in the Right Corner there's the saviour of the free world, and over the horizon there's the biological chemical weapons plants, and camps of the followers of the Rich Individual Hero of the Taliban and the Fundies, and now there's a Holy War fanned with Cruise Missiles and we've all got to get ready to duck and remember not to breath and look forward to ummm, what?

Competed With One Another To Butcher The Last Animals, Time And Again, Pigging Out On Stupidity
And then the Future Eaters to sober you up lest you think things are just too good to be true, what a litany of idiocy, when you see the lessons time and again of extinctions of the Golden Gooses, the Giant Moa from Kiwiland with drumsticks bigger than refrigerators, such yummy timid naive creatures, must've been the resource of an early Eco-Rat competition culture, in the first human infestation of the Land of the Long White Cloud, must've competed with one another to butcher the last animals, time and again, pigging out on stupidity, and today it goes on worldwide just as madly, don't worry a bloke on 60 mins has a garage full of frogs that would otherwise be dead out in the open...

Steady As She Goes, Relaxed And Comfortable And Carefree, What A Wonderful World...
Ain't it all wonderful, full steam ahead, forging into the future with everything steady as she goes, relaxed and comfortable and carefree, what a wonderful world... Pity about the collapsing culture of cronies and loss of confidence and mistrust and doubt and disbelief in every bluddy thing people hear... Just the sound of cruise missiles to remind you of who's in heaven above, and the fires and floods of nature to make sure you choose guardianship as against exploitation... It's all too much... It has that Deck Chairs on the Titanic quality of life...
The Envy Of The World, Competition Winners, Standing Alone, Astride, Pushing Buttons, So Easy
Must be a wonderful feeling for the Russians to have such an intelligent bloke at the Tiller too, the policy of Firing People, adopted downsizing principles from USA the Great Satan... The envy of the World, Competition Winners, standing alone, astride, pushing buttons, so easy, terrain guidance systems, hitting the irrational outrageous fundamentalists with god on both their sides... Pity that CNN hadn't been there for the News Entertainment, more interested in the pants down scenarios, still it got the thumbs down for teaching the perceived threat a lesson... Easter Island here we come...
Scatterbrained, There Are As Many Opinions As Polls, Influence Peddling As If Anyone Takes Notice
Meanwhile the Little Hopeless Joke has been getting his kites shot down by just about everybody, and still plays secretive games about setting his date for defeat, what a pack of clowns they are the Tories, still the Aussie Public are just as scatterbrained, there are as many opinions as polls, influence peddling as if anyone takes notice, they think advertising has an affect still, haven't seen any of the ads it's only what you hear on Our ABC thank goodness...
What Are The Ground-Swells Of Opinion?
So what are the ground-swells of opinion? Seems as if globalisation and deregulation and competition and privatisation and free trade have become dirty words, everything the Tories stand for stinks, and that individualism and look after yourself and user pays and kick the poor and desert the desperate while you turn in billion dollar profits from public assets, and they expect anyone to vote for them?

The Middle Income Earners Spin Is To Catch Votes Of Those People Who Think They Are Middle Class
Occasionally you see an article or two that shake the table, like was it Ross Gittens? In the Sydney Morning Herald, he reckons the Middle Income Earners spin is to catch votes of those people who think they are Middle Class, not lower class, not working class, not upper class but Middle Class Battlers, turns out the median wage is something like $31k that is 50% of people earn more or less, however the Little Twit's GST Tax Reform sets the bar at $75k, where 95% of people earn less... Middle Class self-perceptive Battlers live in delusion, and are being creamed by 5% of the people, being the wealthy... The Big Bubble Of Working Poor think they are middle class, no wonder they're Battlers... They need a Union for Battlers, or vote Labor...
The Mentality Of The Expressway Overpass Stone Droppers, Having Killed The Truck Driver And Ghouled
The irony, had The Fortress Lawsie on redneck radio, apart from being pinged for plagarism, bitching about rich people having to live behind walls with security cameras and lights and whatever, cause the morals of the community had lapsed by people sticking their kids in front of Telly... Seems the mentality of the Expressway Overpass Stone Droppers, having killed the truck driver and ghouled over the smash scene, and partied, and then came back for photos, had brought into focus the callousness of violent crimes happening, not even acknowledging it, a sort of thrill kill, the minds of modern men, who don't extrapolate the consequences, have no thought of the results, careless of the pain they inflict...
If A Media Responsibility Act Said The Consequences Of Violence Must Be Included In The Story
Makes you wonder, how those cartoons and movies and TV shows put on, all the violent acts to thrill, and never ever show the consequence, like if a Media Responsibility Act said the consequences of violence must be included in the story, then every time Tom has his head flattened by Jerry, then the subsequent ambulance, police, justice, penalty, hospital, recuperation, mourning, and lifestyle adjustment be put into the cartoon, or just leave the violence out... Or leave it in and not have it shown in public... Where's the disapproval? By jacking up jail sentences years later? Ha...
Privatised Television And Media Has Pandered To The Baser Instincts In Life
Seems to me the way Privatised Television and Media has pandered to the Lowest Common Denominator by appealing to the baser instincts in life lies at the root of the problem, and they do it for profit, and they self regulate and wield power through intimidation of their own workforce, unless the educative influence of Privatised Media is made face it's responsibilities then there's worse to come... And look at the promotion of violent sports too, and now the physical brutish Rambo look is pursued with Steroids and Growth Hormones and turns people into Roid Ragers... Another deregulated black market gone mad
Tom And Jerry Would Materialise Seconds Later All Well Again With No Ill Effects From Some Diabolical Torture
There were movies made once that showed some poor boy go off the rails into crime and murder and troubled consciousness and then end up in the clink or even hung! Whereas other movies had gunslingers blast anyone out of the way, like Red Injuns and Kid UpStart at High Noon, never see the poor buggers receive any hospitalisation or punishment, and Tom and Jerry would materialise seconds later all well again with no ill effects from some diabolical torture... Some little brains take into their heads that walloping someone over the head with a mallet is ok... But you can't touch it cause it's Business...

So Many Slogans To Come Out Of It But Labor Has The Tags Of Being Fairer With No GST...
Thank goodness Labor has come up with a redistribution tax package, of sorts anyway, but the appeal has been met to tax the wealthy and provide for the poor, more, and to just govern the tinkering, rather than impose the hated GST and all the bad things it does, you could hear the sighs of relief from the public voices and it turns out the Labor Tax relief centres on the $30k incomes as against the $70k, so many slogans to come out of it but Labor has the tags of being Fairer with No GST... Labor will win...
And The Market Says Is The New Game To Play...
So we're all lissening to the Holy Market Speak, saying things We don't like this, We do like that, the Market is nervous, the Market is skittish, the Market is worried, the Market doesn't want anything to do with these troublesome areas, so the Market will just have a series of runs to get out of here and there, and the Market will ignore the life-buoys thrown about by the IMF, and the Market will panic and lose confidence cause everyone's losing their heads... And The Market Says is the new game to play... Terrific way to run the world...
More And More Chips In The Pot Than Ever, But Soon The Whole Bluddy Pot Will Be Devalued To Bugger All
Heard some people saying the Globalism Economic Crisis will roll on around the world and inevitably affect everybody, so all the predictions and modeling and computer generated futures will drop into the chaos, it's like a big poker table with more and more chips in the pot than ever, but soon the whole bluddy pot will be devalued to bugger all, and when they go to cash in their chips they'll just be worth the plastic...
Kim Beazley Imposing The Re-Assertment Of Old Labor Policy To Stimulate The Money Circulation Where It's Needed
And good to see the Labor Team in action, with Kim Beazley imposing the re-assertment of old Labor policy to stimulate the money circulation where it's needed, stimulating demand when recession looms makes Tory Conservative Bookkeepers go redneck with their belt tightening crap, so Kim is looking after the Labor Base voters, the ones who dropped out as the Tory Battlers only to be slapped down by the Little Bigoted Twit, now Labor is leveling the bumps, targeting the 4WD caviar with the Wholesale Tax lauded at last, aimed at the single large purchases with a tinge of Loooxury, as against the often bought necessities of life like fresh food going tax free, as it should be...
Labor Giving Lucid Cogent Responsible And Fair Explanations
And Gareth Evans and Simon Crean and Martin Ferguson appeared for Labor giving lucid cogent responsible and fair explanations, even the argument of Internet commerce hiding the future transactions from Tax detection, a whole lot less income transactions to track than goods and services, still the black hole of the cash economy remains the challenge, to collect from the Service Industries is going to need public opinion clamouring for it... As against the Toady Treasurer's tactic of smirking and smarming and drab ridicule, god he's hopeless, what a drongo... Looks like his only fan, that Public Broadcasting White Ant Kroogha, has backed another loser...
The Tassie Voters Have To Vote Clean And Green For Their Future, Protect Their Small Island
This weekend has the Tasmanian Greens being bullied out by the attack on Democracy, having the fairest voting system strangled by Bib and Bub collusion, the Tassie voters have to vote clean and green for their future, protect their small island, if only they had the brains to vote Green, could make a model for the world, and oh how a good green model is needed as against the Hurricane Torn USA... Being able to compare a Self Sufficient Ecological Sustainable State to a Capitalist Collapsing USA...
The Great Depression, The Same Story Unraveling, Bit Like A Mandelbrot Set As You Look Into The Details It Repeats
Thing is the way the Global Meltdown goes will make things difficult enough without a GST reform fatigued system, could well end up like Russia, economic anarchy where collections drop to zilch... As a coincidence Our ABC Radio National's Democracy and Nation series has been doing The Great Depression of the 1930's, and it's like the same story unraveling, bit like a Mandelbrot Set as you look into the details it repeats...

There Has To Be A Get In Quick And Stimulate The Economies Before The Riots Start With This Violent TV Generation
The Media is full of Global Meltdown, as if no one expected it, oh well, it looks like a rocky road, businessmen will say, Hey things look crook, I better lay off my workers, who then can't buy things, so more businesses layoff, there has to be a Guvmint led Get In Quick And Stimulate the economies before the riots start with this violent TV generation, before the Super Markets are raided and rage takes over, like that bloke chucked over the bridge in Africa and then shot to death, summary justice is provocative for retaliation, the racial hatreds boil over, dear oh dear, who is really going to step into the breach, there was an American Hero once who worked for the New Deal in the Great Depression, he instigated the Public Works to put pay packets into pockets, then the healing can begin, then this deregulated mad market can be dismantled, and Globalism jammed back into it's bottle..

The First Curtain Went Up, With Cuts From The Little Tory Coalition's Short Period Of Floundering About, Out Of It's Depth
Swamped with Election Fatigue, Diana Fatigue, Economic Woe Fatigue, and the Social Disintegration Fatigue, and the Green Disenchantment, the weekend airwaves were full of it as the first curtain went up for the players on the political stage this time, most memorable was a little montage at the end of the Special 7:30 Report, with cuts from the Little Tory Coalition's Short period of floundering about, out of it's depth, showed snippets of all the hapless mismanagement, would make an excellent 10 second style grab for the TV Mindset...
There's An Apple Blossom, From A Fruit Tree That Was Cut Down To A Stump Two Years Ago, Life Goes On
Such a pity to see the Greens get dudded in Tasmania, there goes the foot in the door, and on top of all that it's DR Tim Flannery's story of the Real True Blue AustralAsian History of Human Invasion and the Giant Extinction by the Future Eaters... But, I ain't depressed, BUT, it's Spring in the air, and outside Houie's kitchen window there's an apple blossom, from a fruit tree that was cut down to a stump two years ago, life goes on, if a whole lot less of it...
This Generation Has Now Been Exposed To How The So-Called Conservatives Exploit And Damage And Corrupt
So now we have to ride out the Globalised Eco-Rat-Poison Storm and put up with Tory campaign tactics, bound to make you sick, they specialise in see through crap tricks and twists and spins, all prefixed with their Quite Franklies... Just shows what a divided and fractured nation we are at war with ourselves, this election has so many hot spots that diverse groups gravitate to, how do you pick it, overall Kim Beazley and the Labor Front Bench have all the brains and sense of responsible Government, the Tories carry stinking baggage and leaderlessness and never ever land, they've got their pacts with the Miners and Developers and Graziers and the Big Ends, the real Battlers have seen enough of that surely, this generation has now been exposed to how the so-called Conservatives exploit and damage and corrupt, it's just like the local council where it's the Tory style developers who get in there to push their own barrows...
We Live In Interesting Times, Or Is It The Same Stupid Wheel Going Round In The Same Stupid Ruts
So you can expect the campaign to be full of spot fires whipped up by the Wonky Wun Notions, and the Bib and Bubs being differentiated in the class war, and the Media Blitz to stir up some circulation sales and ratings wars, and then all the splintered disenchanted being polled to provide confusion, and in the big picture our tiny country will be tossed about like a cork in the ocean by the moods that sweep the Holy Market, we live in interesting times, or is it the same stupid wheel going round in the same stupid ruts... Who did invent that wheel...
Western Youth Delinquency As Compared To The Old American Native Tribal Customs
Heard a bloke on Radio National Life Matters doing his piece on Western Youth Delinquency as compared to the Old American Native Tribal customs of nurturing by the group, how the Western World of isolated kids and single parents contrasted with the Native kid having many mothers and fathers and grandparents and all the brothers and sisters were as one, and the emphasis was on mastering skills and talents, and the grandparents instilled the morals and standards, and told their stories of gaining wisdom, and the kids belonged, whereas in the West the isolation brought competition in schools, produced dropouts who adhere to gang cultures and become anti-social and go delinquent and you harvest a generation of feral adults who perpetuate it into their own offspring... There goes civil society, there goes civilisation... And it's all on video tapes... Oh yes, digitally recorded though...
Every Decent Community Facility Is On The Tory Hit List
Thank goodness for Our ABC there covering the pollies, public broadcasting plays a huge role in this country, and remember it's on the Tory Hit List, every decent community facility is on the Tory Hit List, they don't want to be taxed for Hospitals and Schools and such, they want to Pork Barrel their Private Lives and use Individual User Pays Competition Policy philosophies to let the rest of the community go to hell...
It's Like Having Something Sick In The Water With Those Tories In Power...
That Count Yorga UnKempt bloke running the Unemployed Agencies Dogma is the perfect example of their brainlessness, that guy is the complete twirp... But then they have the Little Leaderless Twirp to give him the nod... It's like having something sick in the water with those Tories in power... The Little Crypto Sporidium is doing the Laughing Out Too Loud act now, spew...
