There Ought To Be A Cave Hermits Mardi Gras In Sydney
Another walk with James Valentine on the ABC radio, he is fantastic now, and he had done a Humour Australia piece on the Whales having a date in Sydney Harbour, but today, well it was talk about the Sponsorship for the Mardi Gras going dead, so there ought to be a Cave Hermits Mardi Gras in Sydney, a big State float where you have a State School and a State Bank, and State Water and Electricity on a big tram full of Aussie Public Servants, fully employed... They reckon the homosexual protest has died in the bum, so there's plenty of other social issues to make a big point about... You could have a Hospital Float and an Aussie Airline, and a train service, a post office, everything you need all over the country... ... whatever you like, and you'd all own it again...
You Might Get Calamari Like Truck Tyres I Spose
And the missing fish in the sea, the holes in the web of life, I keep forgetting that there's something lurking which will get an advantage in the laws of the jungle, like all the big school fish are going going gone, and the story goes that Squids are filling the breach, Giant squids have emerged due to warmer oceans and now there's probably more squid biomass than human, so you might get calamari like truck tyres I spose... Or when the Giant Squids visit Sydney Harbour, all those whale watchers might feel a tentacle wrapped around their ankles on the promenades... The Kraken Wakes was like that...

The Invisible Hand Hovering Protectively Over The Holy Market Is Now A Greasy Palm,
It's the short sellers snatch and grab again on the Holy market and their head honcho pops up to tell the American Public, that the Invisible Hand hovering protectively over the Holy Market is now a Greasy Palm, well he said it...
This Latest Wave Of Hysteria Forming In Country Music Over In The USA, They Do A Dumb Down In Patriotic Pap
Oh yes there's this latest wave of hysteria forming in Country Music over in the USA, they have this Country and Western drawler do a dumb down in patriotic pap, like he's become a comet in the sky for the Terrorists War People, these right wing butt kickers have adopted this character as a voice, and he does do a certain spin, with guitar pluckin', and the yahoos lap it up, fits in with all this media beat up going on for attacking Iraq...
All The History Lessons Get Chucked Out With Twin Towers Rubble Trubble
And the hard hitters have handcuffed corporate crims, and paraded them for the People, bit like Tiannamen Square Show Trials already, what is going on over there? It's weird how easily all the history lessons get chucked out with Twin Towers rubble trubble...

So You Say The RefoLand Parliament Makes The Rules
We were talking about the Refugee problem, firstly these people are running from trouble for a better life, cause it's human nature to do so, and first thing to fix it is change the system to make them happy so they don't escape... Ha... I would if I could buy six billion secret votes... So we said how about another country for them? The UN buys some land with snowy mountains and perennial river water and pays the inhabitants off, be cheap really, and then they move all refugees from everywhere in there and they become RefoLand, so then what about their constitution? Oh, well first thing is, No Religion, and then Parliamentary Democracy, so you say the RefoLand Parliament makes the rules and anyone who turns up saying, Oh hang on I've got another set of rules in this old book here!!! Well piss them off, and say We are the ones who make our rules every day in our Parliament and voted on them, so you can take your old rules and mulch them... But then we thought what would you do with people who kept mentioning god or some old religious drivel in RefoLand Parliament? Well we thought you could lock them up in razor wire detention centres in the worst part of RefoLand, but then what if they escaped and got on boats to somewhere else...

Met This Piper
Met this Piper too, he had three sets of Pipes and the Kilts and all the Outfits they wear, he started playing when he was ten and had been in all these bands and contests and festivals for years, had a real love for it and missed the goings on back in Scotland, was doing dishwashing and drinking in the meantime, and a bit of busking, cause those pipes can be folded up into such small cases... Said you didn't get tendonitis like some instruments but of all things, it hurt his ears... I'd love a set of Ullian Pipes, Northumbrian pipes? The ones they played in River-Dance, cause all you need to do is make them drone... Is it?
Without Unions They Would Never Had Got Out Of Slave Peasantry, And Without Unions They Are Headed Straight Back In
Down the pub we had a union war, and there's all this feeling involved, it's weird how some thing gets barrelled in the press and then it's perceptions are in trouble, like there are some things people want to believe regardless, se we went through the history of unions in society from the non-unionised slavery days of owners having life and death and fate of the workers in their hands, through the struggles and strife and strikes and the raising of living standards for a hundred years and then the age of union power when leaders and owners would collude and the workers were left out again, and then the undercutting of technology when the union said we wont work for that, the bosses said we don't need you anyway, and the great demise went on the slide, till nowadays when scabbing is de rigeur, and threats of union action are met with threats of having millions of unemployed who will scab your job, and then millions more immigrants to make sure you don't ever get to use union power for livings standards, so these young people today get tossed work tickets to fight each other for, like they once did on the docks to unload ships, a bit of temporary work, they see hopefully to their futures, become families in a home? No way, try that on a private bank, when once people could be married and have children by 25 nowadays it's staying home with mum and dad forever it seems... And out of it all is this low level hatred for unions? Why? Without unions they would never had got out of slave peasantry, and without unions they are headed straight back in...
Get Used To It Or Get Unionised, There That's A Good Slogan For Winning Again
Whenever you hear these wankers complaining about their jobs and joblessness on Talkback and they are anti-union... Well what do they expect, the boss to be nice to them cause they brown nose? The bosses love having brown nosers out there to toss scraps to... The thing for Brown Nosers and Scabs to do is Get used to it... Yeah, Get Used to it or Get Unionised, there that's a good slogan for winning again...

Left And Right Has Lost It's Meaning Somehow, You Need Some Really Simple Slogans To Make Your Mind Up About
There's some basic questions, like who should own what, who has power, what comes in and what stays out... Like the old left right division has to cater for a whole society, and you have to have a whole society which contains all the aspects so they don't fight about it, left and right has lost it's meaning somehow, you need some really simple slogans to make your mind up about, ask questions like what comes in? What imports do you let in? Like they waffle on all day about Free Trade, doh? It's really Slave Trade... Why don't they ask about what's being imported that drags down our lives? And who owns your water and electricity and things you need? Do you want to buy them off foreigners? And who controls what we find out on the media? How many voices and opinions are you satisfied with? Why don't surveys come out that ask the right questions? .Why? I dunno...

Bought More Food In The Supermarket, It's Hopelessly Expensive Now
Got so lost going places that have changed so much, even these suburbs on the rides I took to Campbelltown and such, it's all changed, unfamiliar, so different, I found the place though for a mower part on order will cost another $60, jeeesus so I went and bought more food in the supermarket, it's hopelessly expensive now, seems a few meals at home, will cost you, I always judge things on the cost of meals so I have to up the ante...
The Speed Of Light Not Being Constant Has Hit The Thought Waves
James has been great today, on ABC Radio, and the Speed of Light not being constant has hit the thought waves, I had already been doubtful, cause of black holes slowing and stopping light escaping, so it's never been a constant to me, cause black holes make it curve back in, and now Prof Paul Davies has used the results from aging Quasars on comparisons with the activities of the e in electrons and he reckons that the e is more constant, so it must be light that has been faster in the beginning and is now slower, something else in the Universe has an effect, I used to call it IT, to travel through IT must slow light, and IT provides for matter to pop into and out of existence and makes up the missing mass, so light has to be affected by travelling through IT, and also Light travels through curved space, and appears bent around large masses, the gravity bends the IT which light passes through, seems reasonable to me, but Einstein still had the ratio right I spose, all that energy wrapped up in matter, he just made us realise that it was time that would change for the observer, a difficult concept but proven correct, and then that approaching light speed caused changes in mass... Oh dear...
All These People Rang Up With The Other Constants In Life, Like Throw It Out And You'll Want It
But then on James valentine all these people rang up with the other constants in life, like Throw it out and you'll want it, and mother's constantly repeating baby stories every birthday, the queue you get on is always the wrong one, the annual income is always spent plus more, so many other constants in life, but they're all relative...

Salt Water In My Eyes?
C'mon baby take a shower... Like that song or Salt Water in my eyes? I heard on Late Night Live ABC Radio National, the same Man In Black butting in on this bloke who studied human brains and the evolutionary affects of the climates, like I always thought that wintering had to be a selective on humanity for the brainy to survive, to plan and have willpower to get through a winter, so he had correlations with climactic events filtering out the human and other populations due to the flip flops of climate change, but he reckoned you would get these quick ten year warming and cooling's which triggered or tripped all these variations in salty sea water, as the warm water evaporated and cooled, and became more salty it sank, and set up currents like the Tank Stream, and I spose the Ell Nino effect, cause Australia's going into a drought, and it was these severe long term droughts which came from cooling and then the warming coming again we know not how? A volcano? An asteroid? Bluddy big world wide fires resulting from the drought, cause cold weather is dry, the Antarctic being in drought mostly...
The Promised Land Of Milk And Honey Has Now Got Salt Crusts
So the salt balance has a huge affect on the weather, but salt on the land was held down by forests, but the promised land of milk and honey has now got salt crusts, stories coming from all over have the salt creeping up into the living areas... And in Asia some damns have changed water tables, and rice wont grow... And they say the honey bees aren't making any surplus to staying alive, there goes your promised land of milk and honey... Besides the milk in NSW had iodine isotope drops courtesy of our last Big Brother England dropping Atomic weapons on us... Lest we forget...
For What Purpose Do Corporations Donate Money To Political Parties? To Be Nice?
Our New Big Brother, the US Empire, at least is getting bad press from the rest of the world, but Germany seems to be the best bet in Europe to get real again, seems Europe is sliding back to the So-Called Left at last... While the Aussie Labor Party has claims to make policy decisions from the grassroots members again, and to stop branch stacking, they said it was navel gazing, but if some decent Labor people get control of the policies they might win back support, but what about all the money big business pours into the Labor coffers? Who will they lissen to still? For what purpose do Corporations donate money to Political Parties? To be nice?
Gold-Plated Bathrooms And Golden Hellos To Auditors, And Crooked Worlds Of The Boardrooms Again
And we went thru the gold-plated bathrooms and Golden Hellos to Auditors, and crooked worlds of the Boardrooms again, but the people who are complaining about auditing are the welfare recipients who have it deducted in the final taxation assessments, it comes from forcing these people to take a crack at guessing their annual income? Scuse me? Whereas the HIH Executive Expenses budget was exceeded monumentally, we have the Little PM who I just can't stand to acknowledge, look at, or listen to, however, said Ethics of top management needed looking at, but there would be no criminal legislation for them... So there ya go, he'll get more donations for that I guess...

I Had To Fix The Bluddy Ride On Mower
With all the fear of fire looming the impending drought, already everything is browned off and the weather has a burning sun already in the middle of winter, I had to fix the bluddy ride on mower, the steering had gone, makes for interesting patterns out there, I had to discover how it all worked by pulling it apart, undoing the dozens of self tightening nuts and bolts they used, took all day to get it apart and then I thought about welding and grinding the gears, took it to an engineering company and eventually found I could get a replacement part from Victa's, using my inventory system I thought perhaps, so then I had to reassemble it all and adjust everything and clean it up, and hose it down, and now it wont start... @#$%#$...

What Else Could Ya Use Beepers To Do Warnings On, And They Had Some, Like On Her Mother's Mouth
James Valentine did beepers today, like they want to put them on the 4WD Beasts in the city, so what else could ya use beepers to do warnings on, and they had some, like on her mother's mouth, fridge doors and stuff, all these situations you'd like to be warned about, like the stockmarket... Now they are all hanging out for some deadline where the Corporate Crims have to sign something like, I am responsible for these results... Cripes...
Buying A Violin, Like A Babe In A Toy Shop
Asked Mark about buying a violin, like what's the protocol to make a choice, how do you get to find a voice you like? I read where the makers have a self involvement, like each one has features that can be appraised and then they also pay for getting appraisals, valuations, so what's going on there? It is the old world of master craftsman and secretive construction techniques and personal contacts with customers... And money for reputations, and demand for copies... Like a babe in a toy shop...
2002 August 15, Thursday, 17:15
Who Do You Think You Are, We Want One Like That Stradivarius.
I been lost in the world of violin makers and their own particular world, it's cause I wanna go up a step, cause the one I got sort of sounds like a cardboard box, maybe a match box, so there's a world of myriad details, intricate details and methods and copies, like everyone wants a copy of whatever they say is best, and then there's China pumping them out, and then there's these Aussie blokes and the use of local timbers, and that getting appraisals of quality, and I envied that life of being down in the wood-shop with shavings and testing things out, always experimenting, but then they say hang on, Who do you think you are, we want one like that Stradivarius...
That Aussie Bloke Who Squashed The Classical Viola More Into A Blonde Guitar
So went over the internet looking and seeing all these personal worlds making contact with their customers, it's a personal thing, and then some makers only have dealers... Cause it has such traditions and tolerances and that Aussie bloke Kev Williams who squashed the classical Viola more into a blonde guitar, well... And it's been strange coincidences again like morphic resonances, the 7:30 Report had Kev Williams? Making wooden cellos out of blonde local woods and being inventive... Some things need to stay traditional though, but then it's only a 300 year history, so what did they fiddle with before then?
So I Got One... Jesus, What Have I Done, It's All Different
So I had to rely on the Fiddle Business itself, like who can you trust? So it was a step up, and what would be the most sensible? So I got one... Jesus, what have I done, it's all different, looks ok though, and sounds alright I spose, like it’s a different sound, lower and fuller and louder, so instead of screech, screech, screech, it’s scratch, scratch, scratch.... So I got a spare fiddle which I said to the Maker cause he wouldn't take it as a trade in, that I'd pass it on to someone to try and see if they could handle it... And so I wonder if he tuned it for me in the shop, or just left it loose?
2002 August 15, Thursday, 18:05
Raggetti, By A Mr Kun, A Korean, With A Factory In China
Oh god it was the tuning here by me, and not the tuning by him in the shop, so it's my old fiddle been outa tune again, it must be like organic, it gradually grows out of tune, and I just keep playing by ear anyway.... So these people who play the notes must be more careful wouldn't they... Ha, so I tuned in the old Enrico as against the PC Cakewalk software, and now it's more like the new one? Raggetti, by a Mr Kun, a Korean, with a factory in China, it's good though, I just can't play fiddles that are in tune, that's all it is...
2002 August 16, Friday, 13:24
In Order To Get That Old Student Enrico To Perform I Must've Tightened It All Up Like Giving It A Wedgie
It's the tuning stupid... Jesus I been into tuning up so much... Having got the proper tuning to cover two octaves makes my whole unconscious playing by ear having to readjust, but it does, how embarrassing, squeak, squeak, but now I have these two full octaves to run up and down, makes such a difference, I think in order to get that old student Enrico to perform I must've tightened it all up like giving it a wedgie, when I retuned it, it just sounds so much better, but even then nowhere near as good and clean and deep and loud as the new one...
I Wished I Could Have Been Able To Get A Real Aussie Built, Aussie Wooded Fiddle
I just suffer from having not bought Australian made, like I wished I could have been able to get a real Aussie built, Aussie wooded fiddle, but there's that standard of living cost that makes you feel stupid for paying that extra money... What should happen is that imported stuff should have a cost of living tariff on it... But aside from all that ethical wrestling, the fiddle itself has opened another world somehow, it's so much more clear and definite and challenging, and already I can play it, after just one night...
Women's Lib, That Had A Career News-Reader Woman Write A Complaining Letter About Her Anger At Being Left Out Of Motherhood
The big discussion on James's ABC radio show is women and babies and careers, Women's Lib and the distorted promises that had a career newsreader woman write a complaining letter about her anger at being left out of motherhood and in her difficult years around 40 for conceiving a baby, she said she was angry, and then stirred up a hornets nest of older women's libbers who defended themselves, saying they'd had their babies early and felt tied down and restricted, and so these X-Geners heard a warning about being tied barefoot to a sink, and modern girls avoided marriage and babies and kept putting it off and now they're stuck in Lonely Limbo-Land, and feel an anger at the message they thought they had heard from their Older Sisters...
What Is The Use Of The Flash Cars And Dinners Out When They Swap A Baby For A Briefcase
Sad isn't it, all those mothers and fathers that never got to be, and what is the use of the bells and whistles, the flash cars and dinners out and their own step on the property escalator, when they swap a baby for a briefcase... I know how they feel cause it's me in the same boat... Waiting, that sinking feeling... Call me now...

She Was His Sister, So She Revealed Their Past And Present Sibling Lives
Oh sweet ironies, I went to the pub and sat and waited and lissened, it was a small talented singer/song writer act from Queensland, Corey O'Connell, who I met later in the dunny, but out there in the bar world there was this lady and her man sitting there, and then just as I was about to speak, launch a belated like Where're you from, What're you doing here type thing, the Maestro Mark turns up, speaking to them, and so I ventured that I'd bought a fiddle, and then explained all that, but, the thing was that she was his sister, so she revealed their past and present sibling lives, and the goings on, makes it all the more remarkable to be sitting together out of the blue...
She's A Perfectly Nice And Angelic Person, And Her Job Is Into Looking After The Disadvantaged
Thing is she's a perfectly nice and angelic person, and her job is into looking after the disadvantaged, and she takes it all in her major stride, a really good impression making person, and she claimed mastery of multiple instruments, having been classically trained in pianoforte and the violin and some wind instrument, and abilities in mathematics and such and it went on from there while I was performing the bar-fly, she had excellent credentials...
The New Baby Would Play The Fiddle Well?
But I was asking whether or not the new baby would play the fiddle well? Like what was to be expected in intelligence from the union, so it was getting close to the bone about who and what the baby would take after and be able to perform...
2002 August 18, Sunday, 12:44
I Forget Her Name, Like Sextant Or Something, Cause She Was Mathematically Endowed
Anyway, it was such a joy to meet her, I forget her name, like Sextant or something, cause she was mathematically endowed, we reckoned music and braininess went together, and there I was going on about babies lissening to Brahms, and such, so she was gonna put headphones on her belly... She had a lovely familiar face and I knew when we were talking that we were soulmates from something in ourselves, I really felt instantly that I liked her and would also listen and like what she'd say, particularly when she said how she'd got to be managing a Government Department looking after the disabled, so I did a rant in support of Public Servants, and she was asking what I did, and then I said yeah I wanted to be a Muso for the Morris Dancers as a public service...
That Conversation About Babies And Brains
Oh dear and then we had that conversation about babies, like I wondered if the baby would inherit the fiddle talent that the brother and sister had, seemingly running in the family and here was a new brother-in-law and could he play music? No he was more into playing sport.... But then it became what talent was in a brain? Where you'd have this huge big talent ballooning up in the general vanities, like sanity was a straight flat line on the graph, and madness were departures, so that music would be a bubble on the graph where sanity doesn't count... Anyway this new husband took that as some sort of philosophical fact and all I wanted to do was stir... I dunno sometimes...
Went Into Natural Charm Talkies After A While
But she was talking to me a lot later, and just went into natural charm talkies after a while, it's fabulous when I meet people like that... You just click... And they're ahead of you as well, so you'll get something quirky back, or such sincerity... But not much small talk...
Wondering What Sort Uncle He Would Be
She was wondering what sort uncle he would be, like what sort of example he'd set... A bluddy good one, excellent in fact I said... But she was the definite article, there, and said how the boy had put aside written music, and he'd got a degree in electrical engineering, and had a natural talent, and would rate way up there every time, and it is true, so she was the good sister, and we spoke of the boys being brothers-in-law and such, was a good neat way to deal with it all...
They Ask The Old Bloke How Often He Did It
And she was so smart, she had real brains, so did Markus, but I asked how well he did in life, like was he doing well, rich, or just scraping by, and she said he was doing well, turns out he was working every day of the week, if you could call playing music on a stage work, spose it is, I mean look at all the audiences who watch or don't... But he also came up with this joke I'd forgotten, like they ask the old bloke how often he did it, and he said Infrequently and then asked was that one word or two... Stupid jokes like that...
Was Good Though To Speak With The Closest Thing To Talent That You Know
Awestruck, when you speak to people who are possessed of marvellous talents you envy... Seems there's certain genres that people absorb into and music is the most easily invoked, maybe, was good though to speak with the closest thing to talent that you know of, like brush with fame...And yet the bugger wont let on how good he is ever, much, he just moves through life doing jokes and being onstage and having that magic
The Pub Today Seemed To Have An Even Stranger Level Of Send Ups
But it was funny at the Pub today seemed to have an even stranger level of send ups.... I wonder whether he's doing that to me when we talk, like the five string fiddle, I asked how you fit octaves onto a five string, and what notes go on the fifth string and the answer is fifths, ok? I've been told by that lovely Asian Student girl giving demos on the train that fifths is what you hear when you play two strings simultaneously... So it's a division in between...
Discovering Their Heritage Connections
Another thing about meeting the sister of the Maestro was discovering their heritage connections with Wales and Cornwall, there's that same mystical quality in connecting with people I like or at least admire...
The Story Of Being Born Of Welsh Male Extraction Into A Scottish Spanish Family And Being Therefore Alone
And I was telling that Scottish Piper afterwards the story of being born from an ethnic identity, like of Welsh male extraction into a Scottish Spanish family and being therefore alone, the only one you knew of, with not one other male around, no brothers, no one you knew of in those days who was identifiably like you were, so that standing alone thing, being different within and outside the group you're in, I spose that's what happens, and then your natural inheritances and preferences come out later, and you are what you are from nurture and nature, and you see things from a different perspective...
It's Particular Prejudices Being Ridden Over That Starts The Troubles
Like all these cultural and national and racial stereotypes are blamed for prejudice and hatreds and such, thing is, that is what happens when in every group there are subgroups and it's particular prejudices being ridden over that starts the troubles, so if you expect to have racists in every society who don't want different people amongst them, then why go against it, cause if you say they have to become tolerant and co-exist, history tells us, they don't, they don't do what they're told, it's basic instinct... And you can see the nature/nurture influences everywhere, like the identical twins who have similar likes and dislikes, an inherited trait you would think...
He Looks Like Chesty Bond And Has That Great Big Cheery Face You See On Santa Claus And Or Dorian Grey
Tonite there was the joke about Infrequently, where they say Is that one word or two... And Malcolm the olive magician thought so infrequently too, he's got a disease now, skin, and he was going about all the trouble he has with women, infrequently, he's a funny bugger though... He wears his big Outback Hat and looks like Chesty Bond and has that great big cheery face you see on Santa Claus and or Dorian Grey....

Paul Keating's Curtin Speech
I half lissened to Paul Keating's Curtin Speech, and he's lost me in this Globalism business, although he did a job on the US Empire thingo which was good to hear him come out on but when he goes on about opening up the country, and engagements, and becoming part of Asia, I mean I like Asia, but here in Australia we would do better to regain that Anglo-Celtic Flavoured Australia, and do everything for ourselves, become independent of that outside world, and we should have the Globalism only on the bells and whistles, the adjuncts to life, but all our living standards which we need to rely on should be only done by and for ourselves... And Immigration ought to be by way of marriage and mixed children...
Keating Was Not Very Kind To The Sort Of Globalism Imposed By The US Empire
But Keating was not very kind to the sort of Globalism imposed by the US Empire, wow, no-one in their right minds would go for it, which explains the Australian Government's Deputy Dog syndrome, and in England they call Tony Blair as Bush's Pooch...
2002 August 20, Tuesday, 12:59
The Thread Tying Things Together Today Is Corruption
The thread tying things together today is corruption, seems the Rugby League Competition Level Playing Field is being tilted with bags of money down the Bulldogs end, and the huge Bulldogs Oasis Development has been plagued with intimidation, bad reputations, the rezoning of Public Land and the installation of 600 Poker Machines into a poorer Sydney Suburb, probably to get away from the Lebanese style suburbs which have encroached on it... There's this tribal level sense of belonging to a club for pride, and now being ashamed of it pushing and pulling people all over, and to think sport used to be amateur, you can see why, even the GPS Grand Public Schools have been stacking their sides with big country boys lured by money bags too, and they have them take two years to get an even bigger boy in their First XV...
The Corruptions Are All The News
And the corruptions are all the news, there's the Unions and Builders telling their stories, and the Corporate Crims passing the bucks, and in China the People are out in the streets again... So what else is corrupt, well the Universities are corrupt, they more or less sell Degrees now, and some kids are prostituting themselves to get through... The Stockmarket is corrupt with lies and insiders, the Pension Funds are rip offs, the Politics are corrupt with coffers for Corporations, I wish I was being paid to say this...
You Can Have Genetic Engineering For Your Individual Needs But Not For Mass Consumption
I finished that survey into society, it was so probing, I ended up saying no, no, no to any uninvited form of genetic engineering which came into your public life or diet, and I supported any form of genetic engineering to do with individuals receiving medical treatment even if it went in to the germ-line of successive generations of that individual's family... So you can have genetic engineering for your individual needs but not for mass consumption, I want natural foods only and nothing human engineered to eat or wear or breath or catch... See there' s not much money in fixing individuals but heaps in mass consumption, so don't go down that road, they will take over the world, you will lose your freedom to eat...
A Morals Perspective On Using Human Tissues
The Survey went to great lengths to get a morals perspective on using human tissues, there isn't any morals involved anyway, it's just some individual viewpoints, and the anti abortionists having some hypocritical dumb obsession, while they execute people and blow bugles for bombing other countries... The definition of Life anyway is a molecule which devours another and uses bits it wants... And they ask when life starts? Well the Universe is alive, and growing, and provides facility for life, and here on earth life started getting complex way back in molten rock, if not in our mother supa nova, and it's a continuum in all sorts of forms, humans just being a troublesome version which is destroying all other life forms willy nilly, not much worth preserving I would think if a god come lately would say... And there is some bloke reckoning he was told he was jesus way up in a log cabin with wife and six kids over in Mongolia or somewhere, I wish they'd all go over and visit him, and stay forever...
So Many Questions On The Private Versus Public And Models Of Distribution
They had so many questions on the Private versus Public and models of distribution of salaries, but it was so constrained with Dollar figures, I reckoned a Number of Times the basic income would be a better way, like the bosses get 100 times the lowest pay, or 50 times? Or 5 times? It ought to be argued and voted on though, and then regulated for transparency... But the questions were push polling Private Ownership as the balm of life and society and distribution, whereas I reckon it should be only for things you don't really need, but they asked questions like Should the Steel industry be Nationalised, no, but maybe some large scale mining should... I reckon there should be a lot more mixed Public Private ownership in things like airlines and banks and insurance and such, so that the Privates have to compete with the Government run Public Services, and the Government would be responsible to the democracy like shareholders should, so like I say, these surveys don't ask the right questions...
Go It Alone War With Iraq Has Been Met With, Go By Yourself...
Our Aussie Govt Go It Alone War with Iraq has been met with a barrage of Letters to the Editor saying to the Little Blithering Idiot PM, Go by yourself... Good Idea... He's not squeaking as loudly this week...

Too Smart To Be A Xtian, He Was Cunning Scheming And Walking The Tightrope For Thrills I Guess
Aha, just as I suspected, seems our Catholic Archbishop, George Pell, the one who's always moralising about Marriage and Sex and Gays and christ knows what, well he's been pinged now by a 12 yo boy... I always thought he was too smart to be a xtian, he was cunning scheming and walking the tightrope for thrills I guess, they seem to love that... Yeah he was too intelligent to be a xtian wanker with god and such, he was into the power and the thrills... Hmmm, what a creep, even so he spoke today with that same drive to dodge getting the sword hisself, even if this accusation falls he's got the stains, they all have, they belong and know what goes on... Contrast with that Anglican Archbishop in Sydney, he's just too stupid to get away with it, he does believe in god surely, but he's surrounded with a glass-eyed cult following too... So who's the worst? Spose the truly evil comes from those rock spiders in the church, they got plenty of company in there, the give-away was when he walked in sympathy with that other priest doing time...

The Ministers Spinners Give Orders, Withhold Information, Twist Facts And Don't Have A Worry
Late Night Live radio national had the new group of spinners surrounding the Govt rather than those lifetime public servants... And how these people had been immunised from investigations now, they wouldn't call them to account over the Boat People Sinking, so the Minister says it's not him it was his staff, and the Govt says you can't question the staff, so who takes the responsibility? And there's no account for it in the constitution, and neither big party will pursue it lest they get caught in the same situation in Government... So the Ministers Spinners give orders, withhold information, twist facts and don't have a worry... How did work when we had Yes Minister? Now we have It's the Staff Stupid...

Sanctity Of Life, Like Where Does That Idea Come From? Conceit Basically
James on ABC Radio is doing Sanctity of life, like where does that idea come from? Conceit basically, and being ill-informed, life goes on and it's all special, but these people going on about sanctity and getting a soul are in some voodoo land of superstition, I spose though even consciousness arriving is hard to pinpoint like is it the first time you say No?
Archbishop Pell Has To Stand Aside And Bulldogs Chairman For Money In Sport And Pokies
Two areas of life that I believe are evil, like the churches and professional sport with poker machines, have two people in public life getting the bulls rush, like Archbishop Pell has to stand aside cause of an accusation, shouldn't you have to prove it in court with evidence? Like take it to the police and get the law to apply, instead Big George goes off to some tribunal he himself set up... And Bulldogs Chairman Gary McIntyre who I don't approve of being the instigator for these undermining influences, money in sport and pokies, but he was the one who was pulling on the reins with the footballers pay, saying how the budget was showing these illegal operations, but he's the one who compromised with the sharks, poor Gary...

The Rugby League Solution Is To Play To The Salary Cap Used
I reckon the Rugby League Solution is to play to the Salary Cap used, so you take each teams real Salary Cap and allow the other teams to field as many more players to make it up, so the Bulldogs play 11 men against say 15 or 16 opponents, so the fans could see the inequalities played out on the field, I reckon it would make for interesting tussles, clashes, and standing up the Bulldogs and make them look stupid while larger teams would run past them, you'd hope... Or you could reduce the number of Bulldog players to the real Salary Cap, I wonder how many players they could field then? They might be down to 7 or 8 or maybe 3? Be good to see South's play the Bulldogs when they only had 3 players out there, the most expensive ones of course...
They'd Still Be Looking At Each Other's Sheilas And Sports Cars Afterwards
Hmmm. The revelations about Sports Money and the Bulldogs, what a fuss they make of it all, trying to be sportsmanlike for big dough... There's all these parallels in real life, about value for money and what anyone does for money, which is anything... So you have to be careful how money gets used to influence out comes, I spose if you could just make keeping secrets a crime, make it all transparent and ... ... I'd rather watch the Bulldogs have to play with less men on the field... You can have your Million Dollar Team of six expensive men play a million dollars worth of South's blokes with their ordinary plain average sportsmen with true selfless heart... Be good to see what happens I reckon... They'd still be looking at each other's sheilas and sports cars afterwards...

The Music Was Excellent And For The Tambourine Girls It Was One Of Those Remarkable Days
I'm not sure if it was a good day at the pub or not, but business is business, it's all part of the job, there was some talk about fiddling and a heavy bow, and about that radio 2GB Brian Conspiracy who was a fan of the The Man, big Ray Schoeffel, cause Mark the mechanical engineer had mentioned his lovely sister again, what a talented pair it seems, her name was Karen not Sextant, it's so hard to talk to some talent you are in awe of, then there were people who knew me who I didn’t remember either, but they did, was funny finding out what I'd told them once before, but the music was excellent and for the Tambourine Girls it was one of those remarkable days, this one girl decided to be out of her mind and then another said No, she was the most persistent No they've ever had, she went and tried to hide in the toilets as well, she told me how they pursued her but she'd made her mind up, she was the champion refusal it seems...
So Weird For Local News, The Bulldogs Dilemma For Buying The Competition, Tilting The Level Playing Field
Last week has been so weird for local news, the Bulldogs dilemma for buying the competition, tilting the level playing field and how Gary should resign but he wont go and is still the stalwart, said he was the dreamer and the tears came and went and he stayed, so far...

Wondering About Who You Can Trust Now
Yeah wondering about who you can trust now... On the media there's a few like Quentin Dempster, cause he started me thinking, and I do have a list, I will have to build one... Out of all the people you hear and see, who can you trust? Pilger? He represents the anti- West World side, and that Canadian debunker John Ralston Saul, and Ralph Nader? But he split the Democrats vote... Christopher Hitchens? Some of the BBC people seem decent, then there's Tony Jones on Lateline and there's no one from Economics, they're into voodoo talk and language to lock people out of the discussion...
Making A Formal Sort Of Ethics, Formulating It Is That Path You Go Down When You Try To Do The Royal Prerogatives Of The King
I found this other atheist on the net, and he'd tried making a formal sort of Ethics, formulating it is that path you go down when you try to do the royal prerogatives of the king, like if parliament runs everything, what does the power of the king do... Well it's ethics, is what he does, all in one word... They just need me for king is all... And a big dose of ethics...
The Government Flying The Idea To Teach People How To Run Their Family Or Lose Their Welfare
Another question popped up out of the Government flying the idea to teach people how to run their family or lose their welfare, make them attend courses, and just what sort of advice would they give? Like how to iron cargo pants pockets? Then this fem... Lib or ex says Well everyone 's busy telling women to work or not work and to have kids or not and now it's how to live on welfare, well what are men doing? What are men supposed to do in life, we never hear anything about that... Well men should have solid secure jobs and the responsibility of looking after families, paint pigs pink, leap tall buildings in a single bound...

The Gang Of Four And Ex-Leader Meg Talking About What To Do With The Telstra Money That They Swore They'd Never Sell
The Australian Democrats have been splitting, they revolted under poor Natasha Spot Destroyer, who actually represented the Democrats Party Membership in taking a more Anti-Government stance, and then came Aiden Eachway Ridgway to waffle away the leadership and have this Grieg step in, who became the man of the moment, likeable more willing, there is now a 3-4 split, with the Gang of Four Assassins and ex-leader Meg talking about what to do with the Telstra money that they swore they'd never sell...
Simon Crean A Good Performer, But Bugger All Differentiation
Meanwhile Labor is disappearing up it's own methodologies, and poor Simon Crean seemingly can't win, although I reckon he is a good performer, much better than lovely Kim Beazely, but there seems to be changes for the good, but bugger all differentiation...
Rampant Republican Capitalism, Surely Someone Could Capture The Disenchanted
Surely some politician can sweep up all the people who feel dudded by this latest economical system, you know the Rationalist, user pays, competitive, unprotected, deregulated, corrupted, holy market driven, warmongering, globalised world, in a word, Rampant Republican Capitalism, surely someone could capture the disenchanted...

Plants, Animals And Ambience Turned Over To Suburbia
This weather, surreal, so clear blue and clean and mild and balmy, perfect day to walk with the James Valentine ABC radio, and walking through lands soon to be privatised... The plants, animals and ambience turned over to suburbia...
Diana, Princess Of Roles
So the talk was of Diana, Princess of Roles, like was she going to become an icon in death? Nope, like what did she ever do? Will she be seen like stars in old movies, nope, besides I reckon Diana was in the Role of the Princess Storyline, and people wanted her to be Little Miss Princess Perfect, turns out she did things the fairytales didn't have in the script so she's a goner... Like those worshippers she had are really thinking about what they would do if they were the Princess, if they could play that role in their life, they wouldn't have run away with an Arab after leaving a Pommy Prince... Anyway who is the next one? Who is the current Princess of the Media? There's no one, cept maybe Kylie Minogue, just can't get her out of their minds...
Looking Through That Commercial Business Window At The World
My first day weaned off PayTV, it's a dud... Looking through that commercial business window at the world, just shows more of that lifestyle people would rather do without, besides radio seems to fill the breach, with the ABC public Broadcaster of course... How can the People stand those Commercial Talkback Hosts, what an indictment, but there is at least a huge discount being made now on Talkback Opinion, like who the hell are they anyway and there's so few, and it turns out it's the broadcasters opinion that gets rammed down their necks, so be it, it's looking more and more like a chookyard, they reckon if you lower the space over head for a rooster they don't crow cause they can't preen up to do it... Wonder what Parrots do, but not much...
Happiness Amongst The Pod
Seeing that Hump-Back Whale freed from the fishing nets was one of the best news stories anyway, there seemed to be a happiness amongst the pod once the net was cut away by some divers, and the whale had watched them and cooperated they reckon, and then took off with a glee at being free... They mentioned looking into the whales eyes, there being a mind in a brain that once walked and then slithered back into the water world, what an evolution it's had...
