Climate change, is democracy enough? : Comments

By David Shearman, published 17/1/2008

Liberal democracy is sweet and addictive: but unbridled individual liberty overwhelms many of the collective needs of citizens and the environment.

Dickie; I was not attacking you. I just want you, and everyone else, to see how rediculous this all is. You will remember I told you about the coming deep freeze in the seventies. This is the same disengenuous fraud now as then. They are attempting to make us all feel as though only they can save us. Some in these postings have even suggested that it is over population, It is all the same fraud. That humanity is the culprite for the worlds ills. If you have industries polluting Austrailia then confront them and your government until they do somthing about it. That is what we have done in America. I'm not saying it is perfect yet but we have made progress. We should hold irresponsable industry accoutable for their actions.We should not have to pay the price for their incompetance. We should encourage industry to be inovative in the ways they handle these problems. I like our modern world. I like my freedom. I like breathing clean air. I like walking in the mountains. I like sparkling lakes with jumping trout. What I don't like is being lied to by polititians who are trying sell us a bill of goods in a deal that only they win. An authotitarian world Government? The price is far to high. TICK

TICK, DICK-ie - is it the same person under a nick partitioned?

Absolutely similar posts of contexts complementing each other mutually.

Dickie “"Trust the system, imperfect as it is, get yourself elected to where you can influence legislation and change the system we have." (Col Rouge)

And here we have Mr Naive (alias Col Rouge) et al, spruiking more gibberish and yet remaining ignorant on how to differentiate between a VOC and a sock.”

I am an accountant by profession. I have no need or interest in knowing the difference between a voc and a sock.

Because I do not pretend to understand (or care for) what you supposedly understand does not imply I am naïve. It might im[ply that I am disinterested and put my faith in the system of government which, despite its imperfections, is better than any of your radical suggestions.

“Included in my family are Liberal politicians.” So, who cares.

“Jabberwocky Mr Naive but spoken like a true raving lunatic!”

Cast dispersions on me.

It still does not alter the fact that you are an armchair warrior, incapable of following up through either possible legal channels or violent revolution.

Somehow, I feel more able to disprove an accusation of naivety than you could disprove an accusation of impotency.

BN “If more than 50% of the public buys into it and our government acts according to the wishes of the people then fine: we're collectively responsible for our actions. However, whether that's the case or not, democracy must prevail.”

Of course.

“An authotitarian world Government? The price is far to high.” TICK

Agree

The cold war saw the overthrow of the nearest thing to such “An authoritarian world government” and it failed because of the greater natural capacity, merit and fortitude of the democracies and the inherent corruption of all “authoritarian governmental authorities”.

"It still does not alter the fact that you are an armchair warrior, incapable of following up through either possible legal channels or violent revolution."

So now you advocate "violent revolution" eh Mr Naive?

"I am an accountant by profession."

Oh wonderful - fantastic Mr Naive. Shall we present you with a five star Hoppy badge?

By the way, when typing here, I keep both hands on the keyboard. May I suggest you consider doing the same?

Or better still, I and a few other posters can offer you a one way air ticket to the Old Dart.

So off you go now. Pack your port, put on your jack boots and don't forget the rottweiller, little man.

Dickie “"I am an accountant by profession."

Oh wonderful – fantastic”

Pleased you agree with me. It is a very good profession to belong to. It has allowed me to work and contribute to improving business processes on three continents and be handsomely paid for such. As a career option I would recommend it to anyone who has the stamina to undergo the study and training required.

“So now you advocate "violent revolution"”

I do not see how you could make such interpretation from what I said but your reasoning and cognitive skills seem limited anyway, this might be simply another manifestation of that.

“put on your jack boots and don't forget the rottweiller, little man.”

An allusion to fascism (jackboots) and I am the one defending democratic representation, you are the one opposing my view.

I think you are projecting your political deficiencies, not identifying mine.

and previously you did say “By the way, when typing here, I keep both hands on the keyboard. May I suggest you consider doing the same?”

Is that one hand holding you up high enough to see the keyboard and the other punching one key at a time?

Before making fatuous asides about me you check out how well your fingers are working and spelling.

"Rottweiler" has one, not 2. letter “L”.

“Or better still, I and a few other posters can offer you a one way air ticket to the Old Dart.”

First class? I can always buy a ticket back but happy to spend your money, after all you would only squander it on a bigger armchair (with steps to climb up and into it) from which to project your phantom armies or perhaps you could have a windmill constructed to do battle with.

Finally “little man”, no we had already resolved who was anatomically inadequate, with a logon subliminally reflecting same, “dickie”.

Ahhh........My dear Col Rouge (Mr Naive)

I do apologise for my spelling error in "Rottweiller." And who would know more about savage German guard dogs than you eh? They certainly make a little man look tough, wouldn't you agree?

And perhaps you need a lesson in anatomy. You see Mr Naive, your innuendo about the name "Dickie" has no biological vulgar reference to girls. But there you go again - shooting your mouth off.

So you bang on about yourself continuously, pumping yourself up, like little men do:

"Pleased you agree with me. It is a very good profession to belong to. It has allowed me to work and contribute to improving business processes on three continents and be handsomely paid for such. As a career option I would recommend it to anyone who has the stamina to undergo the study and training required. "

"Three continents" Golly gosh, Mr Naive. How on earth do you fit everything in?

And you, so frantically busy posting all over the country-side, including the Age newspaper, where you continue to bombard dissenting posters with all sorts of arrogant, insulting rubbish.

And still you remain ignorant on VOCs so why do you high-jack environmental threads of which you know zilch and are not interested? Why do you constantly make a goose of yourself?

Mmmmmm....must be short on clients I would say - yeah that's it - a desperate little man, hoping to lure some poor unsuspecting customer on-line.
