Back to basics

Hya Humans.

I seemed to have drifted a bit of late, my rantings are less rantier and there appears no meat in my message, I've gone soft.

No more. Its pith you will be getting, opinion by the stuffed throatful, bile by the.. by the.. umm bile ductfull. Having said all that, all I'm gonna give you is just a list today.

The what really shits me for 2005 list.

• Political Parties, there is no "party" in Party. An oxymoron if I ever saw one, but more moron than ox I'd say. The factionised system we have in Australia just doesn't work, especially when you only have two points of view; the Liberal its WHITE as in hooded sheet white and the Labour its BLACK as in we are all going to die its all so bleak black. Come on guys give us an alternative or at least an opinion that didn't come from the doctors of spin.
• terrorists didn't create everything in the universe that is bad so far this century, they can not be blamed for every bump in the nite and we don't need a gung ho government response that takes away our liberties with every new decision. We are creating a decision making machine that over responds and manipulates the facts for its own purposes and blames it on unrelated "it might happen here" speculation (you can almost see a gleeful John Howard rubbing his tiny little hands together with every new hint of calamity. "oh boy more 50's regulation and repression for you")
  
• Television from hell, the commercial networks are treating us like they have an monopoly of our time. Oh forget I started this comment I forgot they do, a thousand apologies mr's Murdoch and Packer. Well that bloody pay TV service is a disaster anyway, more ads than all the free to air networks put together, what Packer and Murdoch have big stakes in that as well, I'll just shut up then OK.
  
• Princess Mary, no no no, we still don't have an Australian Prince. Denmark has a new prince, we got rid of a Tasmanian woman. Good luck to all.
  
• Those sick F@#$s in Sydney who tortured a small dog until it died, if I had unlimited funds I'd pay what ever it took to have them beaten to a pulp and left on their parents door steps. Why do so many animal torture stories come out of Sydney?
  
• Industrial reforms. We have Low unemployment, growing economy, stable interest rates, so why do we need to completely change what on the whole must be working. Oh yeah the big end of town wants more.
• Daryl Sommers, Australian Idol, survivor, Ronny Johns. etc, etc, etc THEY ARE ALL PUS

This is just a tempter I'll add to it as I think of stuff that I really hated this year, there is lots I promise you.

Well that your lot anyway.

Go off and be human somewhere and leave me out of it.

Politicide of a nation

Yeah Hi, yada yada yada.

I'm still on a semi politic bent this day, and I'll throw my opinion at ya. (for your benefit I may add)

Industrial reform !!!!
we're about to go through the biggest shakeup this country has seen in fifty years. The incumbent is going to smash apart what Unions (not all bad) and some very brave people have taken 100 yrs to put together, all in the name of progress and the betterment of the working stiff.

It wouldn't take too many fingers to be able to count how many positive industrial changes any conservative government has ever rushed through parliament. And just to give us some cake with our icecream, we are also going to foot the bill for an extremely exorbinent advertising campaign to tell us this is all for our benefits and is for the worker not the bosses.

Now I have been called a cinic in the past but come on, what an entirely opportunistic time to bulldoze it through parliment.

• We have no effective opposition party, which is sadder than it first appears, because the opposition party is the political arm of the union movement in this country and is so quiet on this matter it is frightening.
• The current feeling amongst your average voter is one of dont rock the boat, they are blinded by a feeling of inpending doom, with terrorist attacks forcast for our shores, inflated petrol prices, eninant tax hikes, a falling property market and with just about everybody financialy streched to the max.
• The union movement have so distanced them self from the average family and seem so radical to a generation who have had it so good because of them, that they seem irrelevent.
• I really get the feeling that a lot of people just dont have the energy left to argue anymore, nobody want's to give their employer any reason to give them the flick. Its better to be a small target and not make a fuss.

A sad state of affairs indeed. While as a nation we all seem brash and loud yobs, actually we have always been a bit conservative under the skin, but I think in the past we have kept a pretty good balance. Not anymore though, a hush has fallen over the land, its with tails tucked firmly between legs we go about our business now.

And you know what the real sad thing is, in two or three or maybe more years time, when conditions are so erroded; some brave people will rebuild the union movement and start on an 100 year battle to get back what we have today.

Humans, Learn from history for F@#$ sake.

CYA (while I'm still allowed to write)

Now when I said we should..........

HMM I thinks me spoke too loud, Some bottom feeders just went boom again. A pre-emptive blogg? When I said maybe we should just blow the shit outa someone in my last blogg, I was being sarcastic guys.

I'm really not taking the piss, but I really don't know what to say that would not sound patronising, could be seen as important or significant, I don't think I need to be poignant and any sane person doesn't need to say what is an obvious sentiment, so I wont add my two cents worth (+GST in Australia) Apart from to say, you've just gotta feel for the people of Bali.

Its coming up to mid week when my favorite wordsmith (nah I cant do it, I hate this human, this cretin, this... this... now calm down, it'll be ok... aaagh) Sorry.
Andrew Bolt will be writing his pap piece for the Herald Sun and you can bet he'll

1. State some obvious,.
2. Chest thump how its now so important to close our borders to match our minds.
3. That we should listen to this great wise and protecting government that we have been blessed with.

Do your self a favor and click onto this site www.crikey.com.au. Its slightly unbiased, reasonably balanced, Much better than main stream and apart from a few personal vendetta's, covers the Australian climate pretty ok.

Well I'm gonna leave you with this small offering and say.
