Dear Individual,

I'm not sure if all the ignoramuses are
primarily left wing. I'm even beginning
to wonder what on earth does that mean?
Some people claim to be right wing, and
yet some of their views vary, the same
goes for left wing, centre wing and so
on. Maybe people that are ignorant - are
simply just that - ignorant.

What this last election has shown us is
that most people, are somewhat disatisfied
with both parties. What does depress the
heck out of me for example is - why can't
parliamentarians work for the good of
the country - if its a good idea - support
it, regardless of who suggested it - why
the adversarial conflicts all the time,
and putting party politics first instead
of the nation.

I'd better stop - I'm beginning to sound
like a whinger - but I certainly can
identify with your frustration with
certain people.

Still, I suppose if we all agreed, we'd
complain how dull and boring things are?

Humans are a conundrum, that's for sure.

Hi Foxy.

Because there's only one true God today in the eyes of most, particularly our poly-ticks. He's called MONEY and his symbol is no longer the cross but the $$$.

At the end of the day, they will sell their own mothers for the $$$.

We're all doomed to be consumed by the great almighty $$$!

Dear Foxy,

Just reading the words, "robots caring for the elderly in Japan" sent shivers down my spine. Have we come so far technologically that we would slap ourselves on the back at the implementation of such an "innovation".
In my opinion, there is something ethically questionable about such a method of care - surely a human deserves another human as a caregiver. No doubt, there are roles for robotic or artificial intelligence in our world...caring for a frail vulnerable human being is not one of them.

poirot..is right
we do deserve...better..in our old-rage..than robots

i have/seen glimses..of the future
and more of it/will be..in uniting..the old/new

the young..look after the old
schools..will cure..the numbers/ratio's..of pupils/teachers
by joining old..peoples-homes..to school's

further..govt..wil be adminesterd..locally..via school
govt services..will centralise..around..schools
if you need anything..we need only get to a school

they run/courses..to teach people parenting/skills
link..people to baby-sitting..[and old people-care]
students go arround testing the waters

students study..the local habitat..do research...
even approve homes/roads..services

[guided of course..by the elders]
who strangly enough get vitalised..
by the energy/enthusiasm..of the youth

anyhow i have seen the future..and its much more decentralised
[yet centralised around school/districts]

they turn..high-rises..into fields to grow food
beef..isnt so much feedlot/grain-fed
as much as fed on sprouted..grains

anyhow...it needs to get worse/before it can get better
se we have built..all we need..

but as..RM..says..its currently..all about..$
and that system..is by decree[thats what fiat...means]
its only money..because govt declares/declared..it legal tender

but the bwankers stole..the means..
for govt..to generate..its own values..legal tender
and have grossly miss-used..abused..any trust..they might have had

they run-out..of money..long ago
the bail-outs..that capitalised..them..isnt near enough..
for the inflated..values..put on the few assets..they actually do hold

see they have paper-securities..[basiclly anything..we signed]
thus our mort-gauges...have long-ago..been cashed-in
in fact..the banks sold..it..thus dont have..it

when you hear of repossesions,,they need..THE ORIGONAL[blue-ink]document..but dont have it[only recently..they make people sign..two]

see if the origonal/document..isnt in court..the judge must throw-out the case..but no-one is in court,,,to make the law work..this is what govt should be seeing done..but isnt

i should stop wasting..my breath
i have long talked of these things
and nothing much changes..

ok kevi..listend..briefly
but look where the rest/of the..idea's went..no where

we need a new bank..so the rest of us..can use the banking system
to help the poor..the rich..well they deserve all they wont-get..when it inevitably falls in a heap...

[ok you loose your super..too]..
but hey...you didnt want/to know/what they were doing/bying..with your cash...stolen from your wage..[wage..isnt income]

you put/your faith..in men
jesus warned..about ursury..[intrest]

read..the..secret/bankers..manuel
or the many/other books..i have recomended

poirot,
I get what you are at but i don't agree. Surely you see that by the use of robotics and computerisation into the future the elderly will be able to maintain their independence and dignity for longer before a human carer would be required.
I do agree that once mobility has been compromised or the situation becomes palliative, human decency requires the human touch. I don't think anyone would like the idea that they will be treated like a product in a store house because they have dementia.

will be treated like a product ,
nairbe,
you obviously haven't heard of person called Anna Bligh.
