Television is Tawdry

(yer, this minnow managed to remember how to sign in to Bloogle. The sharks are circling. )

Funny, really, Television. Is an image worth a thousand words??

Continuing on from the sort of disquiet that was intimated in the previous post .. one seriously wonders why there is so little on local TV about Australian issues. It's getting to the stage where methinks the Yanks will be giving us a vote, next. Why should we be "SUBJECTED" to endless irrelevant programs like "Desperate Housewives", or a set of skinny desperates shafting each other in "Survivor Part XXVII",

Am not particularly annoyed with Rupert .. after all he is just another arrogant arsehole out for everything that he can get .. and will, eventually, be undone ..

he doesn't even run, or have control over EVERY media outlet in Australia .. though it seems that he "sets the lead" .. so all the "commercial" TV Stations traipse behind him like the flock of sheep as decreed by the Imperial Roman philosophy set up about 1700 years ago.

Ooo, long story, that one. Had been reading a blogish where one side of it was arguing that "christianity" is all about shepherds .. and sheep". Quite so. Didn't want to get into that discussion, and point out that sheep - as in any herd - do NOT actually need sheep herders to thrive and survive. The only necessity for having a "sheep herder" - is for the financial and material comfort of the shepherd.

Oh Rome .. thou hast done thy work well.

Ah, where was i?.. oh, yes ..

Water.

Watched the "Landline" program on Aunty ABC this afternoon .. sheesh, little old Adelaide seems to be "world's best" at handling that awful stuff called "stormwater run-off"*. Peculiar stuff, that.

Bloody inconvenient. Falls from the sky and clogs the city drains.

(* PS .. if the story is not there yet .. it will be, they're just battling with lack of funding at the moment)
