I made a mistake the last time I offered a thread.

I swallow my civic pride and now accept that my choice of title might have scared everyone off.

I now submit that this modern age offers us all a means of progressing, say, past the Profumo Affairs or the demise of Billy Sneddon.

Anyone out there old enough to remember these juicy snippets?
Do I have your interest at all?

Okay; the theme goes this way.
No-one gets wound up enough to write back about public issues of grat concern.
I suppose I wouldn't either, given a choice.

These days we all seem too scared of our shadows.

So if my very real concerns about what health defecits our local kids might face in the future are ignored by our politicians here in Qld - then perhaps someone out there might write comment here with some reliable information about how to stitch 'em up - in order to shame them into action on behalf of their citizens.

You know the sort of thing - Taxi drivers would always drive known conservatives past the T&LC at a certain time when a certain future PM would stagger out to spew his nightly suds intake into the gutter.
All, you understand, for their fare's entertainment.
Likewise the games of a certain other PM were covered under the guise of his nickname - 'Pixie'.

Meanwhile I'd like decent people out there to refer to and respond to my last effort - 'Childhood onset Leukemia' because it is important.

Hi Non Farmer,

“I swallow my civic pride and now accept that my choice of title might have scared everyone off.”

Yes that went badly and I’m not quite sure which bits they took seriously before the bleating began. Just don’t go back there ever. Or did you mean your choice in this thread cause that title kept me away for minutes.

“I now submit that this modern age offers us all a means of progressing, say, past the Profumo Affairs or the demise of Billy Sneddon. Anyone out there old enough to remember these juicy snippets? Do I have your interest at all?”

Yeah, but no idea what you’re on about.

Write back on here or write to someone out there who might do something?

“So if my very real concerns about what health defecits our local kids might face in the future are ignored by our politicians here in Qld - then perhaps someone out there might write comment here with some reliable information about how to stitch 'em up - in order to shame them into action on behalf of their citizens.”

Sorry no help, go Pied Piper on their arse – get the kids out.
