Our Fragmented Society

You sometimes wonder at the paucity of responsible information that individuals receive to enable rational decisions to be made to the benefit of tax payers - but when one examines the source one wonders at this fragmented society.

We are inundated with pressure groups all with an agenda but fronted as a welfare solution when in fact that is not the case it is a simple con to enable their agenda.

Our officially appointed representatives dote on reverence from the population instead of enacting policy –as such policy is foisted on the population. And this is to enable some promise to a Captain of Industry whose corporation probably pays little tax as they contemplate another visit to their tax haven off shore.

Our politicians bend over when one of them speaks or asks for a favour as the party that they are affiliated with receive sizeable donations.

So –the poor citizen of this once great country becomes disoriented to the point of not caring as each jaunt into the unknown becomes as common as coughing.

Our once great organisations have rotted to the core –politician’s no longer draw enthusiasm from the populace, church leaders are ignored except when they are in court, the police are entangled in corruption cases, our Industry heads are investigated by the ICAC or the Tax office. 

Basically all the peer groups we once associated with honesty have been found to be degraded and offensive. The banks are hurriedly selling off our farms and throwing the former occupants to the gutter and foreclosing on everything with a door.

Not one of our Political parties is worth voting for as our interests no longer count –and we pay their wages. They all sprout good intentions then side with the enemy when conditions are favourable –or money is involved.

 I no longer have any time for their sermons and do not trust one of them –nor corporations or banks. The whole thrust of a civilised society has been lost to corruption, ineptitude and greed.

The only solution we have is to stage a revolution and change this societal model for one that is incorruptible –is there such a creature?

My Dog Puddles

A talk this morning with my dog ‘Puddles’ while I performed a shampoo and bubble bath for ‘her Highness’, followed by a warm drying with a hairdryer. “Now don’t move while I do your tale, no not that way, over here.” We proceeded to do her perennial overcoat shortened of course for our summer. It may have lost length but the vibrancy of the fur denotes her level of health, it is shiny, fulsome, and robust. Enough so that the dryer is flat out coping with her water drenched coat required of course to ensure anything underneath is clean. She sashayed around picking the parts she wanted to be dried instead of relying on me, being a Shih Tzu/Maltese cross, she is somewhat bossy or selective of her body, you choose. This, of course, interfered with the area I had allowed for this task, so I spent most of the time soaking up the water on my clothes as she tried to push me back for her escape. For nine years I have washed her each week, but each time her actions are the same. The next da

One way to wake up!

On a cold winters morning I was – of course off world, where I spend most of my waking hours –much to the chagrin of anybody trying to get any sense out of me. I wandered through the remains of an ancient civilisation looking for clues to the current conflagration now raging in this quadrant of the galaxy.  My boots were scuffing the crap lying about until a glimmer of something interesting caught my eye and as I bent down a ruddy great mouth fastened onto  my wrist and commenced trying to remove it in one bite. My mouth went into a rictus as my other hand came up to rip the offending beast from my hand when I suddenly came upright in bed with tiger wrapped around my hand and giving me the best view of a wild cat. As I sat on the side of the bed I managed to remove him by pushing him off (never in my presence harm an animal –for any reason) and as he turned around he meowed just as the kitten he is although he is a rather large cat for his age. Trying to stem th

Protoplasm

Dark, confining solid walls, concrete floor, squeaking noises, shadows. dust mites. Moist heavy air one can almost eat. There is a strange energy in the air; a sense of fear, an aura of hopelessness, a foreboding. Where have they trapped us? I am sitting in the corner of a large dusty football-field sized bunker. There is some light; a stray, weird illumination. I think it’s coming from those sconces in the roof but I’m not sure. The light isn’t strong enough to see everything, but enough to see that it is difficult to find a way out. There aren’t any exit signs or any indication of floors in this place. I can’t see beyond the concrete barriers just to my left. The air moves slowly so I think that there are working fans, but that is coming from the side again to my left. There are ten of us here. We all responded to the same advertisement. We would take part in an experiment to test a new scientific application; it paid well. That was good enough for me. Laid off seven months
