@P'rot,

<<It remains to be seen as to whether I judge Mr Abbott too harshly.>>

ROFLAO

<<judgement>> implies a weighing up of evidence. In your case it was more Pavlovian, as soon as you saw Tony you started to salivate.

When you saw him standing on the beach in his budgy smugglers you just had to have him, but you knew he could never be yours -- and you lust turned to disdain and you've been whining ever since

o sung wu,

Thank you for your interest and discussion. A busy day yesterday and today. I loaded my truck with equipment for 6.00am but by coincidence my two assisting brothers-in-arms have ill wives and will arrive soon. A big commitment from both of them today because they have a mountain of work (in their real jobs) following the long weekend. I can be more flexible.

I'd have to say this is most enjoyable and beautiful April weather we have had for many years. I will leave it at that so as not to jinx it.

A busy day is a good excuse to smell the roses, even while spreading the compost to save water. The old have so many more charges and concerns today, don't you think? I wonder if many Boomers will be able to live their lives out in their family homes as their grandparents were able to, and their parents to a lesser extent (as some are finding now!).

Well I'm off, so you enjoy your day too. The morning sunrise was spectacular and peaceful over a hot Bournville cocoa. That was a good start and I have some scalding 'perc' coffee to take with me.

Oops, nearly forgot, just keep on truckin'.

luckey/quote..<<..Regrettably,..some of those promises were made, without first fully understanding or being aware,...of the exact 'state of the books' as it were ?>>

or as much how they expect them to be when they leave
its all a scam//govt CAN ISSUE ITS OWN MONEY..WITHOUT THE NEED TO TAX US INTO PEPETUAL IMPOVERISHED AUSTERITY...dammcaps]

After reading so many posts i am wondering at what income level you need to cross from left to right as tony and joe seem to be defining where the line is atm to the left we have the poor people who believe in lets do the right thing for the country.... cross the line we have the rich who want to sit back watch the poor people work and line there own pockets and bugger the country. So what is the income level required to cross sides please

AUSIE/QUOTE.<<..i am wondering..at what income level..you need to cross from left to right>>

ITS BEYOND INCOME/[today....its more based on outgoings]
once you feel govt is screwing you personally as a cash cow/you take a hard right turn

some sell out for pennies other for pounds
but if you wont sellout for money fame sex or credit/they allways watch your family for you when your on stage

<<..as tony and joe seem to be defining where the line is atm>>

autoimatic teller/?
a run ON BANKS?..THEY FIGHT THAT BY DEFLATION/WE DONT WANT THAT JUST YET

<<..to the left we have the poor people who believe in lets do the right thing for the country....>>

MEANS THEM GETTING A FREE RISE
free lunch/they get more greedu more needuy the more they got

give them a shovel/bucket and some seeds
like they did in russia/with the elite inbreeds

bring them back to earth/get them to se the basics..with fresh eyes and brain/but they excape THE AUSTERITY/PUSH IT BACK ONTO ME/PAYING YA SINTAXES..bying new light bulbs/and for buy bACK POWER/THE BURDEN IS TOO MUch

we [they ]..the beggers need to taste austerity
live on the dole alone/for a few days weeeks or years/as long as it takes

<<..cross the line>>

WHEN YOUR INCOME IS CUT/PEOPLE GO NUTS

SPQR,

"<<judgement>> implies a weighing up of evidence...."

Yes, indeed.

Funny, when I saw Abbott skipping around the country prior to the election saying things such as:

"Our Pledge
No cuts to Education, no cuts to Health, no changes to Pensions, no changes to GST, no cuts to ABC or SBS under a Govt I lead."

In my mind's eye, I saw great big neon coloured warning lights spelling out the word "LIES".

But there, you go - maybe I'm psychic.

ROFLAO!

"woohoo, the lefties are getting snakey again."

Nice to see you keeping up your normal standard of contribution - we'd hate to see you getting above yourself.
