A Gentleman

I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately. I'm tired of helping people, per se, in terms of palliative care and end of life pain ablation etc, and I have no spiritual dimension at all; so I am a reasonably high functioning atheist and i respect myself for being what i am...and I've decided, instead of supporting this or that passionate cause, from now on, I'll just be a gentleman...like the nice characters in old movies. As a Gentleman, I will not talk about myself, so I will stop now. As a Gentleman I do have a general interest and concern regarding others that I meet in terms of their wellbeing , and I have a curiosity about their lives and understanding them...but I neither wish to upset, ridicule, or help people any more.
I wish us all well.

Photo File Islam El Farsha

 

1: Photo of Islam El Farsha in the cockpit of the Tupelov Blackjack aeroplane donated to his cause of World Purity by devotees. "I am sustained not by food or drink or ladyboys in bars in Tehran (hi Miki!), but by the righteousness of Allah, the all compassionate."

2: Exterior photo of the Tupelov piloted by El Farsha, returning from a successful humanitarian mission to Al Whadi, the troublesome Coptic Christian enclave North of Medina. "Love has so many forms of bloom, so many forms of compassion." El Farsha noted to his world-wide radio audience, once again stressing the importance of moderation. We must be moderate in all things, he noted, especially compassion. Islam El Farsha remains a strong supporter of Syrian Rebels.

Tony Abbott may, in fact, not be 'the suppository of world wisdom' but he is certainly right 'up there'.

Tony Abbott's Pink Bats KIll People and Burn Down 200 Homes in Australia

As an inconsistent reader of Australian Political News, this is what I got from Australian Political News today: Pink bats kill 4 people and set fire to 200 Australian Homes says Australia's Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, and he blames Kevin Rudd.
I live here in tropical Australia and we do get the occasional brown/black small bat herefor sure, and you have to be careful with them because of the rabies virus, but they are just basically cute little mammals after all...but for pink bats to have killed 4 people and burnt down so many hundred Australian homes, wow, this sounds like a big deal. I am happy there is Tony Abbott there  to tell us about the important undercurrents of all these things that otherwise we would just dismiss as some idiot.

Dealing with Call Centres

I've worked out a good response to unwanted calls from Call Centres on the phone...

"You have reached the Australian Defence Signals Directorate. Please state your name, date of birth, and residential address clearly for National Voiceprint Attenuation.

This call is monitored, tracked and recorded for security purposes.

If you object to the Australian Defence Signals Directorate tracking and holding your personal details related to the call in progress, please press '1' and wait for redirection." 

 

It works. No one presses '1'.

Snowden granted asylum in Russia for One Year

Snowden leaves airport, granted asylum in Russia: lawyer

Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has left Moscow's airport after being granted asylum for one year in Russia, his lawyer says.
Snowden, who leaked details on the National Security Agency's secretive PRISM data-logging spy program has been granted temporary asylum, lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told TV broadcaster Russia 24.
Mr Kucherena added that Snowden left the airport for an undisclosed secure location.
"His location is not being made public for security reasons since he is the most pursued man on the planet. He himself will decide where he will go," he said.
