Collective names for bunches of plants: An Empire of Sunflowers. A Bonking of Passionfruit. A Lapel of Rosemary. A Flourish of Radishes. A Settling of Mint.

I think China is the only country on earth that has taken out its corrupt bank managers and CEOs and executed them. I think we are way behind China in doing what is good for our country. China is a very different society, for sure, but, when you look around at what western societies do, well, its hardly bad at all. China is a new form.. i wish China well.

i think that good government is expensive government, for sure. It has to be. it is expensive because of the good that it does, not because of the costs of the expensive suits people wear to represent us.

There are so many variables in any society, but I think that the most important things are providing good education and good health services for the people in the country, and provide well being. A government has to lift people from poverty to well being. That is the job of government. I remain amazed that most governments fail to do this. They have to do these things first, to be acknowledged as any kind of legitimate government. To not solve these problems because they are too hard, well, this is a failed and illegitimate government and one that should be removed by whatever means are available and as fast as possible, violently as necessary, and with great prejudice.

BREXIT: A few missiles fired into the London CBD would indicate that the Irish aren't all that happy about the way things are going regarding One Ireland and borders between the Irish. Just saying. That's the only thing the English ever, ever understand. 800 years...and they haven't evolved even a smidge over all that time. What else do you do with cretins like that? Do you wait another 800 years, expecting Human Reason? Having had every opportunity, still, the penny hasn't dropped for them.

I still find it amazing, in this 21st century, in Australia, that the quality of education for children is based upon the success or failure of the capitalist economy, year by year, rather than being based upon the importance of the children. I still find it amazing, after all the years of fighting for good health care, that it is based, year by year, on the basis of how well a company like BHP or Apple is doing. There is something very wrong with this. This is a failure of Government to be Government. This is a failure of being unwilling to tax the rich for the betterment of all. We should be able to chart the future of education and health for all. This is not a whim, but a social necessity. That we can't even do that in 2018 is dismally amazing to me.

You know, I am still amazed at the arrogance of the English. To even suggest a vote on Brexit, not for one minute believing that folk would choose Brexit...the Government of England simply disregarded the unity of Ireland, and what this means. 800 years, and they never saw it coming. They simply didn't consider the issue at all. This issue cannot be resolved until Ireland is one island. 800 years of no respect.

800 years of racism.
