Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it.
It can't fall down, there is nothing holding it up...
Except some sort of capitalist exploitation. The writer is a 3rd generation Indigenous Australian. Not, i might add, Aboriginal - two different concepts.

wow! now thats what they call snail mail! but they didn't know that term way back then.
First I wondered how I managed without a phone then the last two weeks I've panicked about not having internet access. Never take anything for granted and I still use snail mail for thank-you notes.
i think it's called "trust" JT, the internet is throwaway, KFC, Big Mac plastic shit. Handwritten, on paper, will always be be valued, kept in the heart - handed down for generations to come.

it`s called patience. we are so conditined to impatience now that we can do it in three minutes with a microwave oven. after only a minute sitting in front of the thing you can get so worked up that you will unplug the thing and go hungry. isn`t technology wonderful?
