It is an old cliche that goes, the stone age did not end because they ran out of stones, the bronze age did not end because, etc.

At one time the British admiralty became quite worried that England was running out of the oak trees to build the ships of the line. What do you think Admiral Lord Horitio Nelson would have thought of you, had you told him the Royal Navy would sail in ships, made of steel, with no sails, that sailed under water. He'd have had you locked up.

As a young man I was involved in developing techniques to mold things as large as a telephone out of thermo plastics. Now they mold a 1/3Rd of a car. Just in passing, I'm not too sure that was any improvement.

So don't worry, we will develop new materials, & production techniques, for products we can't even dream of now. The future will be wonderful, if we just stop shooting ourselves in the foot, & we get rid of that awful woman.

Oh hasbeen, I love your Clearasil ban-aided quick fixes, however like any border line answer, its just a bit late for SORRY we didn't see coming. But your right, the future could be just that wonderful place.

LEAP

Hasbeen you could be right, if we get rid of Gillard the boats will stop coming.
Stock exchange will rise 1.000 points, America and Europe will find enough Gold to pay their debts.
We can stop looking for new fuels and energy the sky will rain milk and Honey.
Naughty Girl Julia!

Hay quantum, the problem is that the warmers saw us coming, & decided to have a lend of us. Pity our pollys are either so dumb, or so ravenous for our cash, that they went along.

Belly, have a laugh mate, it will all be the same in 1000 years, provided they don't preserve any films of that dreadful woman.

Mate the US has all the gold, [black gold], they need to get out of trouble, just that fool Obama won't let them drill for it.

The stock exchange probably would actually rise a lot, although perhaps not a 1000 points, We don't actually need an new fuel, we have enough for quite a while, at least a centuary, but I'm sure there are manny working on something better. What we need, is to ignore all the carpetbaggers, claiming any of the current substitutes are of any use.

God I hope it doesn't rain milk & honey, can you imagine how sticky we'd all be, & it would make the dust stick to my car.

I don't know if she's naughty, that might be fun, & that's one thing she aint.

Oh Belly, I forgot the boats.

Mate, you'd better believe, the next government, of any colour, will do one thing. Even if they get nothing else right, they will stop the bl00dy boats.

Dear Hasbeen,

At least "that awful woman" (as you put it) is trying to get things
done and is taking responsibility for the consequences of her
decisions. A decision has been made to stop the boats - to deter
the people smugglers - and she's sticking to it - no matter
what the criticism is from the Opposition. Who by the way placed
children behind barbed wire for years (something Mr Hockey chooses
to forget when he talks about the "evils" of sending children back).
It's all very well to criticise - but why should anyone vote for you
when you're not offering anything better - and are simply stirring.
