Dinosaurs Rule The Earth
Ehem.
I have cleansed the space that i exist in. I must admit after so many years of piling on shit, it seems quite refreshing. I act, if i act, and act i had to. So now, although it pains at first to let go of people that one holds so close it is a relief. I had read somewhere that true empathy consists of allowing someone to walk into danger willingly, and letting them know that you can let them go. I think this sentiment examines the idea that to empathise you realise that you are dealing with another person and thus they have a life of their own to lead; not to be led. In saying that also, a friend does not have the responsibility to bear the brunt of another's problem. Friendship, or love, should never be detrimental.
So onward the runaway train continues and has found yet another station to take on new passengers at an ever increasing fare rate. Though the ride is getting better all the time. And the seats, how i could go on about the seats. If only Cityrail had the same interior decorator as i have. Ah bliss.
Can you believe that John Howard was awarded with the Woodrow Wilson award. Wow - this first un-american to be attributed with doing all he can for the American
way of life. Does that not strike you as odd. As far as i remember Honest John was elected the Prime Minister of Australia, and by that title alone He, the man, and his ministers are supposed to, as stated in the job description, to be enacting policy in the best interest of Australia, and all Australians. Since when did that coincide so closely with the United States of America that it constituted the most prestigious US Republican award for US service? Am i the only one to see this irony? While i am babbling on about irony how about this. The Woodrow Wilson award, named after the founder, a Republican ex-President of the United States, sent the United States of America into the Second World War.
Now i may just be wrong here (god help us if i am), but i am under the belief that it is a general consensus among people, on an individual scale, that killing people is a pretty detrimental (bad) action. That is, most people do not want to kill anyone, and that most people don't want themselves to be killed or anyone they care about....perhaps even anyone they know. Yet, in the Great Western Democracies we, the people, seem to be voting in warmongerers. Seriously, is there something wrong with this picture. I feel as though i am typing out the most evident observation to date. And i seriously beleive that most people will read this and go, duh, we know all this.
Well then - the question i put forward is this: if we know all this, and acknowledge it to be true, why do these warmongerers continually re-elected as our representatives and leaders of our nations?
I am stumped. I point to election rigging. But i am a cynic, and surely that only happens in places like Zaire, South America, and the Middle East.
