Fester I thought about that post I like a bet on the horses, it is about numbers and likely hood.
The likely hood of the jockey wanting to win, the trainer wanting to,and the horse, then what are the rest prepared to do to stop them.
Do you ever see a world that could see your ideas put into play.
Some one among us will have a far better idea than mine, but the very rich will not be interested unless it is not a threat to them.
A world acting as one can fix this, it is simple self interest for us all.
Standing in the way of us all, is religion.
Again look at the flood, it is not yet one,said to be millions of refugees/mobile populations it will get far worse, soon.
Humanity must not think it can be fixed by importing even one percent of those suffering here, it will reduce our standard of living and introduce a massive growth in our numbers as those we let in bring every problem here.
Including massive family's.
PS jewerly you know better than me how many kids are in care but too many too many poor parents poor poor kids.

its on my list
[i should unsubscribe]
but its like watching a train wreck
[or a sunset..when there is a dust storm]

its just too revealing

we got too many people here
so its time we used them better

we have the yopung and healthy looking after the old and feeble
as well as the young made braindead from the mercury derivitive in the many vacinations we legislated..'docters'.give to the developing minds

thing is..those olf folks dont even know where they are
so lets export them caregiver jobs..and improve their quality of life

each one of those senile old farts
could pay for a village to get educated..or fed
for the annual cost of just one of their beds...

[60,000] a year.is the average cost
i rekon if their family visits[once a year]
they can get a free holiday..to the vilage caring
..for those..they no longer care for...

[submiting their condition report..for the cost of a trip]..
not sending public servants on paid trips..al in al we get more bang for our buck...

and help those poor ignorant's out with jobs..
to keep them where they are..and not here
*collecting the dole

problem fixed

no need to build prison camps
no need to kill the unborn
no need for these

Banjo:”Glad to see that you have been able to have a look around Aus. But when I go, I look at the practical use of the land, not so much the sunsets. By the way the sunset colours are caused by dust in the atmosphere which means we are losing more of our precious topsoil.”

Well that just ruined sunsets for me.

Watching the floods I heard it mentioned over and over again by the older locals about how houses were in places they knew would flood and was wondering who let the houses get built. Aussie has a lot of inquiries and people demanding inquiries. Shame they don’t demand them before and not after everything goes wrong.

Hey Bellybabe I think life is okay for me. Truth be told Aussie really freaks me out, for such a warm land I strike way too many cold people. You might be right and the world has always been a big mixer waiting to see who comes out on top. Shame the way humans think, first I need convincing that western white culture is worth hanging on to – not by pointing out what is wrong with other cultures, just on its own merits. Cause overall we’re actually really horrible and make a terrible mess of things.

jewelry,
You will likely find that they did tell that the homes will flood but were ignored. Yeah, we do keep finding things that are wrong and need fixing, but behind it all this is really what we think of Aus.

We do have some enjoyable moments as well. I am off to our annual barby and bush dance with about 200 friends and neighbours at a district woolshed soon. Just to give you an idea of the type off music we do and dance to, here is another clip.

This raises money for our local Bushfire Brigade and I will be leg weary and headsore next day. Even the young ones that say our music is rubbish, seem to have fun on the night.

Hope you enjoy.

Jewerly we spoke years ago,about the area you live in.
I told of my history working around there,playing football for a local team and know it well.
We can be stone like,and the area you once lived in is known for it, maybe you still live there, never say it here,trust me.
Now if you want community Friends and loyalty try Banjos recommendation, country towns once you bust in the door take every one who wants to be in.
My thread was not about individual migrants, in part it is about a religion that is not intent on mingling.
It was to unearth ideas we can solve a world wide issue that is about to grow so very much bigger very soon.
Sharing your lunch with the hungry kids from down the road is good for your self image but as all do not eat enough who wins?

Your music is fully rubbish Banjo but I agree with the young ones – it looks like great fun.

I didn’t mean to give the impression I haven’t had fun here. I put a lot of effort into good moments and have a ginormous capacity for happy times. But yeah overall and as I get older it becomes harder and harder to enjoy the good stuff when your mind keeps tripping you up with the bad.

That is what I reckon is happening to you OUG you’re starting to slip sideways with the stuff you know is wrong. From things done to you (like the teeth thing which I can empathise with) to knowing what an overwhelming disaster this world really is. Why people are still producing children is beyond me but it never stops me from going all stoopid and clucky around them.

Point taken Bellybabe and having grown up spending time in country towns and working/partying in one here as a 20 year old I get what you mean. If I wanted to be really happy I’d probably be parked up breeding miniature goats in the Spice Islands or I’d like to live in a great big flash campervan and just cruise about Aussie annoying the locals at every opportunity. Either one is still on the cards.

I might go watch Michael Moore’s ‘Capitalism’ again or that Glenn Close one ‘Home’. Or that combination of the two – Avatar. :)
