You Get The Feeling There Is This Large Pack Of Morons Out There Wearing Blinkers
Apart from the rusted on hard-core self interested cabal that vote Conservative Coalition there's also the 10 Second Time Spanners rusted on to commercial television and radio with that naiveté of the young, and grovelling type of Noddy person in awe of the wealthy who think if they vote for them they'll be like them, and uneducated inarticulate racist protesters of Pauline, and they prove themselves more and more with the swing they took to the utterances of Pauline, and swindle garbage the So-Called Liberal Party comes up with to hoodwink the Blue Rinse Set in the dirty tricks department, so you get the feeling there is this large pack of morons out there wearing blinkers and with heads full of Channel Nein Soapy style values of life, a complete dearth of history and understanding of politics and community values... It's a feature of democracy you'd spose, but it's a real downer to feel you're part of a country inhabited with a such a pack of stupid people following a pack of Tory Scumbags... Still there you are, that's the new Australian demography, wring your hands shake your head, feel disgusted, and then forge on...
It's The Task Of Persuasion And Conviction And Sticking To Principles Of Fairness And Welfare And Sharing And Caring
Was a good result overall for Labor, so just have to get together and recognise how well the Labor Left have done, collect and unify with support for the marvelous Kim Beazley and capitalise on the real numbers of good people who backed Labor, the Labor Heartlands are back, so it's the task of persuasion and conviction and sticking to principles of fairness and welfare and sharing and caring...
The Opposition Is There To Block The Idiotic Ravages Of Eco-Rat-Poison Being Pursued
So the next period of Politics is on shaky ground, and the Opposition is there to block the idiotic ravages of Eco-Rat-Poison being pursued, that has been rejected outright, that mandate they claim is non-existent, so the next leadership challenge and blocking tactics will de-stable the Little Last Guvmint term, so shortly the next election will see them dumped for good and the real Prime Minister we need, Big Kim Beazley, will get in where he belongs...

A Living Organism Enveloping The Earth
The Earth is a system. A self-regulating feedback system. That's why the oxygen level is set. It's so serious to have that oxygen set because just a bit more and everything would burn: hostile to life until an equilibrium is reached. All the carbon used in life would be oxidised soot. And should the level drop you'd asphyxiate, stop living, by slowly slowing down and finally stopping.
Lovelock And The Gaia Encounter
He's right that lovely old man, when we first heard of Lovelock, and the Gaia encounter for us, accounted for the way things were, and he's trying to prove it. They're following a sulphur chain through some fungi life-forms into a seed for rain and cloud and lower temperatures which is the feedback to stop the sulphur.
You Can't Do Anything Without Impacting On It
Interesting and important because it encapsulates the whole closed system of the Earth and the consistency of environment with the type of life being supported. It's so cyclical that the whole system is self controlling and regulating, shutting down and closing off some things which must trigger responses by others which in turn kick off something else. The whole thing is a living organism enveloping the surface of the Earth.
We'll Love Having That Conceptual Idea
There was an old Greek god that he named this concept by, not too original as an idea in spirit, but to have a scientific understanding of something so wonderful and marvelous and super-ponderable. We'll love having that conceptual idea to match things against, to get that measure of goodness in something, does it hurt the master cycles of the planet.
That Gaia Organism Really Is the God of Man
You know that Gaia Organism really is the God of man, the closest thing to man as that societial type, who likes religions and believing, then why not awe that and respect that? Everything on this planet, plays a part in life, you can't do anything without impacting on it. And look at the impact on it by humans.
A Chair At University, Study That Bubble
But the cyclical regulated bubble is an important new Science. They ought to make that a chair at all universities, and study that bubble, find out how it works and learn how to fix it so it stays favourable to us. US. And do it right now.
Destroy Life, With The Most Dreadful Whimper
It's already on a tremendous slide away from being able to support us, it's dead set certain that for humans to keep going on like insects, a plague infesting the planet, is definitely going to destroy life, and not with a bang but a whimper, and a terrible whimper the most dreadful whimper.
It Started With: A Beautiful Green Eden
Because from what it started with: a beautiful green Eden with lovely, healthy, well-balanced web of nature, clean air, and pure water, and clear sky, and living earth, and fertile land, and a bountiful sea, and all animals and plants were perfectly balancing, beautifully, really beautifully, no great impact, no great calamity, no great threat from within.
One Clever Little Animal Plays With Fire
Until one clever little animal plays with fire. Along comes the little smart human and starts the destruction for what, For What? A one-way ticket on the Titanic.
Now You Can See What's Down The Road For Us
So sad, that having got to know all about the origin and evolution of the Universe, through to our lovely speck of life, when we finally get here, when we arrive and see it before us, the knowledge we've accumulated and spread by our communication, all that education, well now we can see what's down the road for us, for sure, and that Whimper is a worry.
Once We Worried About Nuclear War
It affects us all now, once we worried about Nuclear War and Nuclear Winter, and the Cold War was a tension, but this knowledge now, the human infection, is so depressing and hurtful, and it makes me cranky because you can't do anything about it, he's never had a cause to fight for, but now, this seems like a life and death cause.
The Holy Grail, The Green Planet Earth
It's really the ultimate, most uplifting, the most like a knight in medieval armour, going forth with fervour and courage and bravery to face the storm and danger. The Magnificent Quest for the Holy Grail, the Green Planet Earth. It's the Ultimate Quest, It's The Don And The Windmill.
There Can't Be Any Swerving From Serving
All politics are in there, and there can't be any swerving from serving it's wishes, it's a true god-man relationship, you have to do what the system, the cycle, the self regulating, feedback, Life System, demands.
The Human Race Should Be Caretakers
That's what you have to respect and revere and love and look after, and never harm, and always protect, and always help to put right, the human race should be caretakers of the planet, and clean up it's city sores, and heal the poisoned wounds, and replant and redress the malignancy, the badness, it's all still here in the system, the poisons and harmful environments put inside drums and caves, could you ever do it. Can it ever recover?
A New Religion Based On Loving Earth
To start a new religion based on loving Earth and having as my bible the sciences of humanity, then it should work, people can get their proper faith and understanding in nature, and how wonderful it is, and how you can all become dedicated to the one system, much like fundamentalists, start off with that religious driving compulsive force in humans.
Religious Feeling Hitched Up To A New Horse
That religious feeling needs hitching up to a new horse, one that's going to be a better payback situation, one where you know that should you pray: that what you do will fix the planet; have that prayer feeling; when you really want something: deeply and wistfully; and wishfully; well you hook up those feelings to doing the things you need to do to fix up the planet.
Future Generations Aren't Going To Like Us
Why don't more people cry out about this. It disturbs me so much, it's so sad so very very sad, should we ever have kids well they will be faced with such a depressing future and their kids, well one can only shrug, we don't care as humans about who follows us further down than grand-children really we've never really taken responsibility for this planet. And therefore our future generations aren't going to like us.
Our Place In History, Monster Consumers
Our place in history, for those people ahead, we'll be regarded as such monsters, consumers, wasters, destroyers. And in human terms will consider us as greedy lustful lazy pleasure seekers, just get yourself the TV, the comforts.
All You In The Future, Can Go To Hell
And the rest of the world, including all you down there in the future, can go to hell. And that's where they'll be going... ...

The Cocktail Kids Will Be Supping On Humble Pie, While We Wait For The Cows To Come Home
Holy Market Speak has it that Re-Regulation is Required! Goodness gracious, the Heresy of it all, rejoice, seeing as how the God of Money has brought famine and devastation on all the poor countries and is killing the World's Tiger Economies and soon will be wiping up the Wall Street floor with bleeding Hedgehogs... Hallelujah! Yes, the IMF Cocktail Kids will be supping on Humble Pie and saying things like "Investment" isn't buying Equities and Fleeing, it's building infrastructure, and long term sustainable ventures to provide careers and interesting lives... How about Compulsory Unionism and Public Broadcaster Independence with Funding Guarantees and Mixed Economies with Government Responsibility for Public Services and Welfare... While we wait for the cows to come home...

Large Natural Monopolies, Talking About The Duty Of Care For Public Servicing Of Cities
Heard the Sydney Water Board Story at Politics in The Pub, as told by Bob Wilson who used to run it, and Dr Peter McDonald who chaired the inquiry way back when it all came under scrutiny for the corporatisation and the tactics and strategies and policies for these large natural monopolies, talking about the duty of care for Public Servicing of cities and where profit and competition gets you, and basically it's in trouble, and the questions came about the user pays strictures for conservation on a sliding scale and the long run assets left out of the equation for money flows, and the neglect of the Catchments and the reliance and big dollars thrown at treatment works which don't perform and the overall strategy of pipeline dumping at sea, and just how treatment works can be compared for competition where topography intervenes, the scary thing is the continual dogma and fundamentalism coming through on privatisation, some people sound like mad priests of the Holy Market... But there's the Auckland Blackout, the Melbourne Gas, the Adelaide Sewage, and Sydney Water, as well as the Jobs Network and on it goes, the whole Capitalist economy is making us the poorer...
Dangling On A Thread And The Votes Trickle In, Seems So Archaic
The count goes on in the Post Election mop up, Sheryl is dangling on a thread and the votes trickle in, seems so archaic in this world of instant gratification and sound bites...

Real Issues Are Never Mentioned Let Alone Deep Debate And Cogitation
Got sick of all the peripheral politics during the campaign, all this focus on Dollars Per Week and the Lowest Common Denominator crap they dish out and concentrate on, the terrible 10 second sound bite world where real issues are never mentioned let alone deep debate and cogitation, where new ideas and unorthodox thoughts are given short shrift before moving on to some other trivia...
Constitutional Conventions To Consider Directions And Overall Aims And Intentions And Set Goals
And the real policies need to be on the Constitutional Level, that would be Interesting every Spring to hold a Constitutional Convention to consider Directions and Overall Aims and Intentions and set Goals of what the World should be like, the every day governance just tinkers round the edges at election time, like what changes the greedy rich impose being fought over by the needy poor themes all seem a bit predictable...
Of All The Main Issues The Top Of The List Has To Be Environment
And of all the main issues the top of the list has to be Environment, and during the Election there was typically just a thousand green voters in an electorate as against sixty thousand who voted orthodoxy... Hopeless... But the air and water and land care are really all we've got, and in looking at human nature through history from the time of Mr and Mrs Adam and Eve Firestick there's been a saga of destruction, every major human settlement heralding the latest tools of technology ends up being a desert...
Could Guarantee So Many Wise Ways To Follow To Protect Nature
But the Constitution Level settings could guarantee so many wise ways to follow to protect nature, like replacing sustainable resources like wood pulp with Marijuana cropping, and having a recycling ethic like deposit on containers, and having farming revert to PermaCulture Methods, and having Chemicals put into closed cycles and never being released to the wide world, and Sewage to be composted and diverted to reforestation, and Fossil Fuel burning to be replaced with clean energy and the Nuclear Industry put into a clean up mode...
When Some Turkey Like The Little Bigoted Twisted Twit Is Re-Elected
It goes on and on, to the Rainforest Burning and virgin land exploitation halted, so when some turkey like the Little Bigoted Twisted Twit is re-elected and you see an orphaned Orangutan look mournfully from a cage on the edge of a blackened landscape, well, you just wish they could swap places...

Busy Little Closed In Lives, Worlds Apart From The Goings On
People with jobs in busy little closed in lives, worlds apart from the goings on in Kosovo and the Melt-Downs and the Pants-Downs and the readying of the Cruise missiles, and the retaliation threats form the Slavic Brotherhood, while strange stories of trillion dollar Hedge-Hog rescues and teetering markets holding on with grim blind eyes, funny old world, seems history is on a merry go round with the way things are again, the great gulf of boom-time rich and the crashingly poor depressed deprived and angry, any excuse to let off the old racial hatreds and lash out with some genocidal ethnic cleansing, and with the high tech weapons systems being aimed at what? The bands of drunken crusaders? And when will the counter threat be mounted, how will that go? Like "As soon as the first missile lands in Europe we will detonate a Black Market Hydrogen bomb under New York... God willing..." What a brinkmanship era it's become...
Well, There Ya Go, Things Are All Rosy In The Garden
Nice day today in the Big City, cough, cough, the dregs of the Election Count drift in, the Tricky Tory Time-Table to bring in the GST with the Colsten and Harradine mandate in the Senate, and Labor drops the Capital Gains Tax and the Machine Men get the blowtorch for losing NSW, yes, a divided nation... Meanwhile Four Corners is doing the disaster of the living off the sheep's back... Is there anything good going on? Spose the GST for the Olympics might keep a few more people away? See how the GST figures were calculated on crooked assumptions of household expenditure, lies and more damned lies from the Tory Scumbags... Well, there ya go, things are all rosy in the garden... Bring on the next election for christ sakes...

Australia's Richest Man Didn't Pay Tax Again And They Quibble About So-Called Dole Bludgers
Australia's richest man didn't pay tax again and they quibble about so-called dole bludgers, what a travesty, and heard where the judiciary is pulling the black letter law shenanigans like Barwick did, these lawyers grow fat on tax avoidance and then end up on the bench and blame the Law Drafters rather than dispensing Justice, it's a scandal, while the Murdock Empire is waiting for the crash, while the USA Guvmint fiddles with sex and the genocides and rapes and terrorism is inflicted on civilians, and then the Little Bigoted Twit calls together his cabal of ineptitude and says he's learnt about Reconciliation and justice while he courts the tarnished vote of the self-seeking dealmaker in the Senate, what a dreadful prospect it is to have democracy saddle us with these cretins again... Didja see the half-hearted hypocrisy when the Little Idiot addressed his diminished party room, what a spew, another term of ScumBag Guvmint, what a turn-off...

A Theme About Monopolies Came Through Again, Where's The Regulations? Where's The Power Of The People
Bit of a theme about Monopolies came through again, like the way Gas is a single pipeline, and how Victoria suffers with Privatised Gas monopolies, and then the Brand name buy ups, with Monopoly Companies stacking the Supermarket shelves competing against their own packaged products, there are product lines with usually 90% dominance, the Big Stores and Big Supermarkets owning the supply and distribution lines, and the poor suckers at the end of the chain are your everyday people, and the poor suckers missing from the beginning of the chain are all the closed industries as importers take their cut, so where's the Regulations? Where's the Power of the People from their Parliament, they all bend in the wind...
There Used To Be A Another Local Brand Cola That Was Like A Guinness, Black And Finely Frothy
Then one bloke tried making Kettle Chips and Coca-Cola took him to the wall, but the Big One is losing in the courts, talk about fleas and elephants, only had the one Coke this year, this hypocritical week, that's the end of that spose, there used to be a Another Local Brand Cola that was like a Guinness, black and finely frothy, beautiful memories from long ago, now all the little producers are no more, swallowed up in the economies of scale, just extrapolate the economies of scale and you end up with no customers, like the world is now, the domino theory will be knocking over suppliers and buyers, the great Capitalist Bubble will be like a Circus Big Top and the props are going, and all that money will disappear again... Poof...
Whales And Creatures Swimming Coastlines Have The Sewer Out-Falls To Breath Through Their Lungs And Gills
And the Pilchards are dying again, millions of fish, all around the south coast of Australia like they did in 1995, those whales and creatures swimming coastlines have the sewer out-falls to breath through their lungs and gills, no wonder the poor things try to get out of the water... And there's the last seventeen years now, they reckon, have seen the heat of the planet go up, and there's a new Iceberg adrift as big as Newcastle to Wollongong out to the mountains, all of Sydney environs would fit on it, what the hell...

Post Mortems On The Election
The Little Re-Invented Twit is back and up to the same low class attitudes like not being sorry, and chummying up with corruption and desperate for some place in History but he's stuck with being the most churlish divisive weak willed misguided low life racist scum-bag that we've ever had as PM, but the Tories wont find it hard to beat that when they get rid of him... Heaps of Post Mortems on the Election, compulsory voting, the role of the Senate, the Mandate question, the Two Part Preferred System, the Wonky Wuns without proportional representation, and the closeness of the votes, a majority support for Labor by far but tacky coalitions and demographics of Country City deny balanced representation, so we're stuck with what we got...

They Want To Run The Country?
The Tory Ministry was announced and what a pickle, they have Iron Bar as the Greenie Basher, and the Black Bishop in charge of Child Care and the Largely Physically Endowed Good Looking Brunette as Minister for Rowing, and most of the inept stay in charge like the White Heron? What is he doing there? And then the Abbott and Costello comedy Duo is picking on the Aussie Icon Bob Ellis, who's on First cause What was on Second advice from Who for the Third time reckons it never happened and only heard it on Fourth hand, stories from the urban myths that mirthless cretins can't see... What's the point, to go on witch-hunting sprees for the spite of it all... Better wrap their poor insulted heads up in rags and pull sorrowful faces for a photo shoot... And they want to run the country? Onto the rocks is where this mob of scumbags is going...
