The Mad Monk blames the CT for the Hastie group going down, further insulting the intelligence of all Australians (oh...except SM). Yet a further case of opposition by mantra, something MM learned in the seminary that he applies to politics.

Now, everybody, with a punctuating beats to the chest, chant with me:

"The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" "The carbon tax did it!" ..........

Haaahaha

The carbon tax did it, the carbon tax did it, the carbon tax did it, oh yeah.

The carbon tax did it, the carbon tax did it, THE CARBON TAX DID IT OH YEAAH!

Doof doof doof doof doof doof doof!

Hey this would go really well set to the music of Led Zepp’s Black Dog, I reckon!

“Hey hey Carby, said the way you bruise

Gonna make us sweat gonna make us lose

Ah ah Carby the way you shake that thing

Gonna make us burn gonna make us sting”

I'm seeing it Ludwig, MM in hooded cassock left open to reveal the six-pack and woven hair budgie-smugglers, hands stressing the oh oh oh oh oh oh's and "The carbon tax did it, the carbon tax did it, the carbon tax did it.

Seriously though, don't you worry that maybe MM isn't the man for the job?

Ludwig and LF,

I assume your retreat to childish rendition is because you can't argue against simple maths. (or can't understand it.)

[Deleted for abuse.]

But SM, being childish just comes so naturally to me!!

Besides, dull boring threads like this one need a bit of a boost along with an injection of (attempted?) humour or puerility now and then!!

Hey, my main point remains:

We need our government to implement incentives to wean us off of our addiction to oil. The carbon tax is the right thing to do in this direction. It is so damn small and such a piffling first little step. And yet there is enormous resistance to it!

Yes the carbon tax will change the economics of some businesses and make the critical difference for a few. But so will all sorts of other factors that have always been there.

You say:

<< I assume your retreat to childish rendition is because you can't argue against simple maths. >>

What ‘simple’ maths are you talking about?

What about the simple philosophy and logic?

You didn’t respond to my first post on this thread. Too hard to answer?
