China blazing a trail in North Korea

Chinese ambassador vows to 'blaze trail' in N. Korea(Yonhap News)
The new Chinese ambassador to North Korea, Li Jinjun, has pledged to spare no efforts to warm relations with the unruly ally, saying he aims to "blaze a new trail".

I don't get Australia

If it is acceptable, and even laudable, for Australian RAAF jets to drop bombs and white phosphorous on Isis in Iraq, even when very, very inaccurate, then what is so wrong with Indonesia executing Australian heroin dealers?

Life, Superannuation, and death

After spending about 20 years in the specialty of palliative care nursing, particularly end-of-life pain control and precise narcotic titration, when I was 50 I decided to somehow retire no matter what...but not because I had any money, or any future agenda, but rather because I saw how many people at the end of their working life at 60 or 70, just died so fast. They still do. Nothing has changed.
So I'm 61 now. I work fulltime in Mental Health now, because I need the money. I work there instead of in end stage palliative care pain control, in which I became quite an expert nd still am.
I like mental health. It's much easier.
For about a decade after retirement I travelled the Earth, found love and sorrow and amazing things of a personal nature,
and all the things that come with living a complete and completing life, in a few different countries and societies, so amazing and so different and oppositional to every thing I ever did... and all in all it's been a good thing for me and has supported my initial reason for leaving the flock.
I have no superannuation at all, and you know, that's the best thing I ever did.

The real problem with Australia

That's the thing with Australia, we are so peace loving, and yet, at the same time, we are bombing Iraqi villages every day, still...and then trying to keep burning Iraqis from coming here, like it's a moral agenda. If you don't want them to come here, then, for fuck's sake, we need to stop bombing them in their own homes!
