Tea Bags and Totalitarianism

In today’s society, where freedom of speech is under threat.

Where freedom of movement, is under threat. Where education is homogenised into obedience, where our very structure demands compliance, where we prescribe drugs for our children to keep them quiet and compliant.

In today's’ society where our elected representatives seek to control us. To demand, and even legislate our compliance, to do as they would not be done by. No longer satisfied with eroding our freedom of speech, but now our freedom, nay our right. “To Be Heard!”

Is it any wonder then, that they choose to deprive us now of loose leaf tea. The end is coming. Be warned, beware.

This joint venture between Saten and the Americans, I refer of course to tea bags, beware they are taking over the tea section in our supermarkets as we speak. The end of loose leaf tea is nigh!

Stand up before it’s too late, before loose leaf tea vanishes before our eyes, to be consigned to history along with the free world. It’s 1984, all over again.

Why it's not Grand Central.

Perspective

No one is going to complain about getting a tax cut, those that are fortunate enough to be earning enough to pay tax.
But it’s all brought into perspective when transiting through Central Satiation Sydney. Where one is unavoidably confronted with the number of people calling this home. People living out of a bag, sleeping rough. People my age, on a pension forced onto the streets due to escalating housing and rental costs.
And the sad realisation that I have done little to voice my opinion in support of the disadvantaged. There but for the grace of God go I. Of course, it’s not just Sydney, it’s here in Coffs Harbour, but not as in your face as Sydney. It’s everywhere and becoming more and more commonplace, and we still don’t vocalise our concern at the direction of our culture.
I criticise myself for remaining silent, but then I’m in a serious exchange with the relevant ministers trying to get adequate health care, that “’m supposedly entitled to.
If all the little voices get into unison, it will become a seriously big and loud voice.
Don’t remain silent.

Train Wreck

The new Metro North West line, these barriers along the platform open in unison with the train doors, so you can't fall in front of the train. They're taking all the fun out of my work, what's an Assassin supposed to do? A gentle well timed nudge was all it took. Just wait, it will be the pedestrian crossing next, then you won't be able to run anyone down.
