The Insanity of the 'Acceptable'. Australia, a Nation that cannot respect itself.

I keep getting messages come up about my comments on the Voice Yes/No Referendum Page, but I'm just not going there anymore to check them out. Nope. No way. Misery Guts folk from both sides just gutting themselves for nothing but misery. Its just a vote, you dopes. Think it out, think it through, that's what you do, then decide, and just... do that and ... that's that.

Its not like we had any vote or say in the rental of US nuclear power subs that don't exist, that are costing us $360 billion, subs we will never actually even have. We just love giving money to America for nothing. Oh please love us, suck, suck...I know, I know, that's just what we do...as vassals, as dopey primates to all that important real human stuff.

Nope, no more. Shut up John. Talk about an epic stupid country. Mutter mutter. We were first a stupid country when we allowed and even offered our land to be a nuclear test site for the UK, years ago. The first and only nation on earth to ask a foreign power to please blow up a shit poisonous horrible weapon on their own nation, and we'll look after the hole and all the poison...now, if that couldn't be made worse, we're legally agreeing that the US will drop off 'our' even more toxic horror war grade plutonium waste from the subs, and its a lot of waste, on us, on our country, and we'll just look after it for 50 thousand years, no problem. No wonder Jesus wept. Just so stupid...and a Vote? No way. We'll just welcome it up the arse of us, oh thank you so much...we'll find some sacred site to stack it on. That's who we are. Thats the kind of people we are.

Good night from here.

Australian Referendum

How do a people ever get to be seen as equal in an unequal and diverse 21st Century society?

Usually, they have to fight for that, and many have to die for that, and many have to kill for that.

They usually don't get there by a general copacetic consensus or a friendly meeting under the stars or next to a big rock in the desert far removed from power.

They get there through organisation, with a defined leadership structure, with inner social discipline, with various active 'cells' much like the mafia, the IRA, the ANC, the CCP, etc. Even if one wishes to do 'good' this is how you can. This is human culture across all cultures, across all the centuries. Why? Because it can work.

They don't wait around expecting everything will change simply because they are who they are, and everything will just come to them because it's 'right' or should be.

I don't think that ever happens.

Referendum: NO.

You have to fight for the right to party.

Dang, I've been banned from a facebook site for repeating the news I heard on Sky News!

Damn, my comments here have been Banned from the Voice Yes/No facebook page....for 5 days. I think it might have been the reference to the comment about the mushroom vegetable dehydrator, as a warning to other husbands, but don't blame me. I saw that on Sky News. I thought it was true, like everything else on Sky!

Referendumb, Australia

I've been making my contribution to the lively colourful discussion on the Referendum YES/NO facebook site, but I think I've annoyed far too many folk...so I'll have a rest. Its about pacing myself, and my invective, or it'll run out.

"I'm impressed by your hard-wired generational vitriolic hatred for Australian Aborigines. Good on you! At least you are giving the Chinese one day off."

Tomorrow Night's game between Ireland and Australia in the womens soccer world cup, I'd expect Australia will win 4-0/ 4-1.

Commonwealth Games

I think the best idea for the Commonwealth Games would be to have them each 4 years in the same country, a member of the Commonwealth, that is a developing Nation.

Each Commonwealth country could put in some money every 4 years to keep it afloat and to contribute to the development of the country, health services, education, agriculture, technology, and also help keep the Commonwealth kicking along, as it is a useful thing.

You could put limits on it, say, for a twenty year period, then it would go to another developing host Commonwealth Nation.

Would help a lot with Nation Building and all the connections between people.

Victoria cancelling the Commonwealth Games

I like the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews. He makes good decisions, and if its a bad decision, he changes it.

The impact of the severe Covid lockdowns in Victoria = thousands, or tens of thousands, of people lived, people who would not have lived otherwise. Good decision. That's a good human government. It did a really, really hard thing.

Now, with him cancelling the Commonwealth Games in the State, well, that's very wise.

Very expensive and blowing out in costs as all things do, with the State, like the rest of Australia, proceeding into a world recession this year. Don't waste the billions of money on a sport games publicity show that will last 12 days. Save that money. We will need it. That's responsible government.

That's a good idea. That makes sense. Well decided, Mr Andrews. Stay the course.
