Valium for the Soul

Come with me on a journey through uncharted territory...

Quotes:
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. - Oscar Wilde
Quotes:
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein
Quotes:
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. - Mark Twain
Quotes:
I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. - Mark Twain
Quotes:
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. - Albert Einstein

Wanton Destruction???
We are in the lead up to our State Elections in South Australia some of the highlights for me:

  • Labour advertisments for the Liberals where they play a voice clip of Rob Kerin(who is being asked why he wants to be Premier of SA) saying a lot of 'ummm why do I want to be leader, ummm errrr' quite amusing
  • Moustaches drawn on the faces of (would be) politicians on every stobey pole in SA
  • Strong [sic] statements like 'Rann gets Results'
  • The Liberal party thinking that getting rid of 1000 public servants in this state (pop 1.5mill) will advance their cause
  • The Family First 'protect your home' idea. I want to know - do I have to provide a uniform & workers comp payments? Tea? Coffee? - Will they protect me from christian doorknockers? (DOH!)
I'm sure there will be more - but there are advantages to being too busy to watch TV or listen to local radio :-)

    OMG that ad about Rob Kerin drives me up the wall! It's just so stupid!

    The Liberal campaigns down here are really sort of pukey too(vote for us & we'll put speed limits back up to 60)...WTF?

    We will be keeping an eye on the Sth Aust elections to see how our future stands. I always figure South Aussie is a leader in this.
