hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.
Your Democracy
Whilst you're working hard for your living, (including on Fridays), your politicians are engaged in practical jokes and emotional jibes mirroring a junior school classroom gone anarchic. Remember, though, that the people in this centralised forum in Canberra are amusing themselves with our issues like this because parliament has become so far removed from reality that arguing like school kids whilst dropping the appropriate 'key words' about current happenings gets your through the sitting. Interestingly we don't seem to care.
I wonder if it has anything to do with that old 'all votes are equal' thing?! For this makes it hard for any intelligent voice to stand out, speak the truth and be heard above the mass of other voices which might possibly be moronic. Majority rules is just another manifestation of our quantity over quality mentality, which has led to situations like the above mess.
