Well! only kidding TBC?and I fit the IQ of 50% in SOG post above.
And some say we do not sling rubbish about here.
First the blue cross, you follow the greens, so my expectations are not high.
Not back at work, well past retirement age, it would be old age pension if you got it right.
Could still be working, very much so.
If I betrayed every thing I ever lived for.
Sold my belief, for cash, more cash than I got in my last job.
Up for it, well and fit, but leaving one job because of a fool would look silly working with about a hundred of them.
Thugs and mugs made an open offer, no way.
Rudd did well, my detractors within the movement must come to understand, Labor can not win with Gillard.
Only if Abbott leads can Labor be returned.
Greens are gone, if Abbott and Gillard have this country at heart a month before the next election is called both should craft a garden weeding double dissolution election.

Perhaps afternoon naps would be ok if we used them for spiritual contemplation..

The great thing about being a socialist is that you don't have to worship the work ethic. Being lazy is a form of radical dissent!

According to Eagleton, "advanced capitalism is inherently agnostic. This makes it look particularly flaccid and out of shape when its paucity of belief runs up against an excess of the stuff--not only an external excess, but an internal one too, in the form of the various home-grown fundamentalisms. Modern market societies tend to be secular, relativist, pragmatic and materialistic". This puts the pollies between the rock and the hard place; many people are uncomfortable in a moral vacuum so governments have to at least affect their ethical credentials (all they really believe in is the lotto--the markets, electorates etc.)If they can do so by feigning the most popular hokum they figure the larffing.

Sqeers at least we can laugh, I did on reading your post.
Opinions are as common as leafs in Autumn, every one has them and each conflicts with another.
I have no idea if mine are right, only that they are based on researching and observing daily news and current affairs as hungry for understanding as a starving man is for food.
I am no angel, never could be, but observe the bitter things some say about us here, in this thread.
And look at the thread trying to help me with problems getting logged on.
Am I too easily upset? is it truly OK to call people idiots?
So very easy for some to slander others but so very much more so to just simply look into a mirror and truly see them selves.
Australian, those like me, who put so much trust in Rudd, have every right to know just why the last government lost its way.

The hatred for Mr Abbott seems to some Labour supporters a reason to justify and ignore there own parties complete incompetence. Even the far lefty Robert Manne admitted the hopeless management of the illegal arrivals. That must have hurt but at least he showed some integrity as Mr Rudd did admitting his mistakes. I think what many lefites hate so much about Abbott is that he has been right on most things exposing their completely flawed dogmas trying to be imposed on the country by an incompetent Government. Certainly Labour has taken Australia from a sound economic position to one in debt and nothing but deaths to show for it. When will they wake up to themselves? They now need the ETS money to pay for their gross mis management.

Belly:>> Well! only kidding TBC?and I fit the IQ of 50% in SOG post above<<

Belly when I wrote that "imbecile" line you were not even on my radar, I consider you intelligent and committed, as I have said in the past my Labor pedigree should have me defending the indefensible too, but I cannot.

Dear runner,

As Allan Stewart wrote in The Age newspaper:

"A wealth of negativity: no tax on big miners, no tax on big polluters, now bash the unemployed and disabled. We can see the real Tony."

I suppose we got through the global recession, an excellent economy,
unemployment low, inflation OK - all due to John Howard, I guess!
