You pay us to tell you, in tax terms what you should do



One the consequences of thinking only  governmnets can act in the public good o do wat we should choose to do ourselves  is a windfall of more money to them to waste to keep telling us hwo to live > 


Energywatch .com 
The bureaubrats actually gave away money for this service . Maybe the suffix .com should have to demonstrate just HOW such services are funded. 
No advertising campaign of recent times seems more hypocritical that the recent series of energy watch ads ( Modelled we presume on those effective but original ads by RACV).
Our polys seem to think they are doing the right thing by giving us advice,.....

But what's the point - the Government are deliberately putting up resource prices and hoping we are not smart enough to see that - 
-any differences like those between mobile phones are probably largely illusory . 

The new millennium will clearly be known as the time when the wannabes most confused the role of government with the role of business - and got away with it - for a while

Progress is dependant on not getting distracted

,
You can tell when a paradigm change is on when quite different, but non radical groups use the same logic to justify their ambitions. How about when those who think of themselves as progressive intellectuals use the same logic as some of the most predjudiced.

Geoffrey  Robertson, and those worried by bikie groups are getting distracted by talk of prosecuting institutions when things go wrong. Robertson thinks he can nail the churches bad boys by nailing the church and the NSW govt by nailing the name of bikie groups .Neither dummies know what they are doing.You don't nail evil unless you nail the sin and the person who done it. to do more than that is to play god.
 These lawmen are ignoring the limits of law and liberty which makes them  more of a worry than their worries .
Such weak and pathe.tic moves will ultimately be seen to be driven by fanaticism,.Meanwhile our society suffers their arrogance and stupidity .
The shallow basis for the current logic is obvious - highly reactionary, culturally retrograde, mistargeted content  and ultimately creates more heat than light..........and our ABC can't even see the stupidity that will characterize monday night qanda . Dangerous thinking it is but only if you see dangerous as unproductive and destructive
