Good Morning all, up and at’m its a new day, the day Obama signs us into a socialist country. (not sure, are we now supposed to address each other as Comrade Biological Life Unit from here on out to be politically correct?)

(yes there is a measure of sarcasm there, but that’s just me when seeing a totalitarian government when I wake up!)

Perhaps a bit prophetic, but...

There’s No Road Back

It were a country road, a dusty path to somewhere
a new horizon for me to explore, with some care
so far from my known old stomping grounds it led
and I was so eager to saddle up, and so off I sped
now time has taken me around the world and back
yet now I see that in a way most important, I lack
its not the same as when I left, and never will be
what I’ve lost can not be regained again you see

OZ is getting a Flush Tax?


"PERTH NOW

Householders to be charged for each flush of toilet
Article from: The Sunday Telegraph

November 16, 2008 03:00pm

HOUSEHOLDERS would be charged for each flush under a radical new toilet
tax designed to help beat the drought. The scheme would replace the current
system, which sees sewage charges based on a home's value - not its waste water
output.
CSIRO Policy and Economic Research Unit member Jim McColl and
Adelaide University Water Management Professor Mike Young plan to promote
the move to state and federal politicians and experts across the country."

How about politicians (only) have to pay a tax for all the WASTE they've created,
and another politician-only tax for all the budget overages they've spent!
That pair of taxes on the real 'rich' could support a whole country!

Oh yes, Johnn!

I’ve been thinking that for many a day now. There will be no turning back when O. gets through his plans. Very depressing!
And you wrote it perfect in your writing...thank you!
