perspectives

OK, will start here
Lonliness ... have been reading a very well researched article (can't find the link, at this point) detailing why the  National Broadband Network  is a massive 'infrastucture' worthwhile project.

There are, of course, "naysayers"; but where do they live? Inner-city? Have incomes (and bank faith) that allow the purchase of housing worth a somehow "inflated" value of AU$600,000.00 and above? So that they can all "cluster" together - and refuse to acknowledge the rest of us  'peasants'?

 Rome - you have much to answer for!

Yer, i know; this is a work in progress online. - never completed.

Is there a "point" .. perhaps not. Am, of course, typing this 'al dente' - nah that means 'half toothy' - "off the cuff" is perhaps the Anglaise version.

"Polite political correctness" ? Dunno. Grew up in a cosmopolitan  version of Australia where a wog was a wog, a spic a spic - and we all LAUGHED about it !

(um, must be becoming elderish - can't remember anyone "killing" anyone in the locality about the differences).

Um, grew up on a "soldier settlement" farm on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Vestie. So can re-imagine 2 years in half a Nissan hut. Bit like the "1940 - 60's" "immigrants". Don't give me the shits.
