JAMES BROWN - Sex machine (Long 12'' Version Videoclip)/ what can you say? Just dance.

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Live) - OFFICIAL PROMO

looking forward to NE China in Summer, 2019. I can wear polyester pants, a white polyester shirt with buttons undone from the bottom up and the shirt ends tied together at nipple line, exposing my gut, and carrying a very cold bottle of beer in the street, resting it on my belly, to cool it down, the way successful Chinese men of my age do on any hot day. I can do that. Maybe even buy a small singing bird in a cage to take home, or a cricket in a matchbox, to show my friends. And, late at night, put on pyjamas and pick up a tin and walk downtown to buy a meal of noodles and fish, put it in the tin, and walk home, stopping to smoke from time to time, and listen to the little cricket in my pocket. Maybe even join an impromptu gang of old men in similar pyjamas on some corner and talk about this and that in the hot night. Talk about gambling, and women, and crickets and bird song.

We'd all like Senator Derryn Hinch to die a happy man.

World Refugees are an issue and mainly due to the massive destruction caused by the US UK and in our little way Australia in terms of military action, driving, bombing, millions out of their homes. Germany accepted a million people, and all of them those terrible terrorist arab refugees, and within a year has retrained and employed 400,000 to work in Germany's massive industrial factories, jobs, housing, security, tax, etc... as there was a severe worker shortage, and, by doing so, Germany's economy is moving ahead quite well compared to the countries like the UK etc who succumbed to fear mongering and racism, and whose economy is going down the toilet. Australia continues okay financially, because we continue to ride the wave of Chinese business, the only thing that has kept our schools open and our pensions and hospitals functional for the last 25 years.

I see the Minister for Home Affairs an Au Pairs, Peter Dutton, having stuffed up with bantering on about cancelling the citizenship of an Australian when he can't do that, is sending Scott Morrison off to Fiji to either make the guy a Fijian Citizen, or to fuck up Fiji, it being Our Backyard. Peter does have the power of the Mad Bald Right behind him, and the PM doesn't, so Scott will do his bidding. Now today Peter Dutton announces he will create a registry of sex offenders names and postcodes and pictures etc, when he knows the States won't support it and his government won't fund it anyway, and it won't work...but that's not the point. The point is: Fear... Alert the voting public, before the May election, to 1: Terrorists. 2: Paedophiles. I suppose Asians, the usual suspects, are next. You can read him like a cheaper thriller novel. Pure Pulp Fiction.

What other sacred cows can I poke today... Oh, the American opioid crisis based upon prescriptions by real doctors... well, you see, opioids are brilliant for assuaging serious pain. They are the best...especially opium, heroin, morphine. they are brilliant. Nothing can get better than them. We even have developed and evolved opioid receptors to receive them, gratefully, and have our own endorphins are made of similar really good stuff.The simple, natural organic opium poppy. The problem is that once the cause of the pain and the pain itself has resolved, and that's a period of a few months, has passed, then, well, people keep using them...which is not a good idea at all, obviously. this is bad guardianship by doctors. The synthetics, the oxycodones, the fentanyl, the bupremorphines etc aren't as good as pain relievers, and they are far more addictive, yet they are prescribed far more often these days because the people who make them say that they are better and less addictive...simply because the companies can't patent opium...so they invent this artificial shit, and people believe them. fentanyl is ok, if one enjoys hallucinations...usually furless rabbits running about the room...but fentanyl is uneccesary. If you have serious pain, especially pain related to your own mortality/terminality, then stick with morphine, heroin and opium, they are far more effective and far more natural. Many folk will say they are allergic to morphine, but hardly anyone on earth actually is. In 30 years of palliative care, I never met one who is physically allergic to morphine. The best test is to sub-cut 1mg and you will see if there is any allergy, and there isnt. People are just scared of the name, that's all. Morphine with a tad of methadone in it, to prolong the analgesic effect and to cover some bone pain morphine doesn't do well, toss in some midazolam for the fear, a tad of haloperidol to remove any nausea, is always best in terminal cancer situations...they will serve you well...this other shit is all about the profits for the drug companies and to assuage the paranoias of society...whilst watching people die in pain because...hmmm...nothing can be done...poor us. we would rather see someone racked with pain than have them sitting up in bed eating dinner and drinking wine and smoking cigars when it comes to our bizarre fears of mortality. Life has its joys and pains and that won't change. We can fix pretty well all the pains, but we can't fix the greed, nor can we fix the willingness of companies and governments to prefer to do harm rather than do good...that's the human condition...and that won't change.
