Over Heard

Over heard at a works canteen.

"We don’t have any say anymore, the governments both big and small don’t listen to us."

I am hearing this more and more here in Australia. I am reminded of the
“Let them eat cake” line. By Marie-Antoinette.

The current mob of politicians have thrown our wealth around made us want to be wealthy but in the mean time ripped the soul and caring out of the equation. Hence eat the cake and forget the bread.

State school spending:
Here in Victoria many states schools are run down to the point of no return. Federal government awash with funds [Large surpluses squandered on tax cuts to the rich] Give money to Private schools who already have private swimming pools and acres of playing fields. The schools admit they are awash with funds but still gladly accepting of additional funds.

Primary school student teachers are being given additional training in how to teach reading to kids. The mind boggles, how long have teachers been teaching children to read.

Politicians and bad days

State and Federal Politicians are arguing over the distribution of power and money [taxes]. The prime minister talks as if he has collected the taxes and then given a fair proportion to the states and tells them to stop whinging. Excuse me, I think he has been in the rarefied air of power a bit too long. The people pay the taxes and the governments are given the job to provide services with the money collected. I call this the Common-Wealth. No politician owns this wealth any more than we do.

If you sleep with dogs you get fleas, Politicians must be riddled with corporate fleas.

Private transport versus Public. Surely with the oil situation we need to concentrate on getting people out of cars and onto public transport. Here in Australia our Federal government has just promised millions of dollars to The Ford Motor Company to help it make more cars. Not even energy efficient. The State government sold off the public transport and now it is bleeding us dry. These politicians must be scratching madly with flea bites.

Passports what the hell.

Did you know the number of pages in the New Zealand passport application form is 14. I reckon you could get it down to half that, but then some kiwis would loose their jobs. How many pages for the USA? Anyone know?

If a dog craps on a suburban pavement should the owner be responsible? Yes! I'm going to camp out in a near-by street and catch the canine pooch in the act.

When the afore mentioned crap is trodden on, a biological disaster occurs. Where have all the road sweepers gone? Don't you hate those leaf blowers all they do is blow the leaves and crap to another part of the street.

Church signs

A sign on the side of a local church:
"God must exist otherwise life would be meaningless". So?

Why do drivers at traffic lights take so long to realise that the lights have changed from red to green? Colour blindness?

Still on cars; if you are waiting to turn right at an intersection, get your car into the middle of the intersection and keep as close as is safe to the middle line. This could enable other motorists to cross the crossing. Makes sense?

I said three thats all you're getting.
