Talk fest ....

So they are having a Talk fest to determine the way they want Australia to look in 2020. Some of the people there are, shall we say, not very nice people. Whatever they determine is going to be alot of self interest for alot of big wigs and us "smaller" people, those of us "in the street" are going to be forking for alot of conflict of interest. I wish my taxpaying days were over.

I am a Capitalist supporter, whether I have capital or not. It is a better system and a fairer one. You earn what you are worth and you don't have to worry about the sponge down the street getting your hard earneds. But when the sponges get together, they want to fleece you for everything they can and call it "Social Democracy". Crap, a rose by any other name, it is Communism, pure and simple. At least a rose, even by any other name, smells good.

So we will have socialised water supply - great, socialised food - nah, the farmers would never go for that one, so it will have the sh!t regulated out of it - same difference. Socialised electrickery? NSW wants to sell off its electrickery plants for the money into state coffers so it has more grease money to pay developers to develop the next rubbish tip and pristine beach. If the money was going into hospitals and schools, you would think it would be okay. Let's not kid each other here. But before anything is sold off by a Labor government it has to be regulated to death. That way supply is guaranteed to their mates. Socialised climate? No plastic grocery bags. This is going to make such a difference to the climate.

And what if you don't jump on the climate bandwagon? You are a member of the forces of Darkness. Read my lips:

proud, card carrying member of the Forces of Darkness

you freaks. But I digress.

So these sort of topics are going to be discussed. They were talking to a group of children, alas I didn't get their ages. They had their own 2020 talkfest, and some are going to be at the adult one. One thing I have learnt over the years of involving children in these sorts of things is that the kids are patronised by the adults and generally ignored. Children do not vote. Children do not "understand", children work against vested interest - and that is just not on.

At least to the supporters of this sort of thing I can say "you will get what you deserve, and don't come whingeing to me after it all goes pear shaped".
