Creation

It is sobering what oppression can achieve. It is liberating what freedom can create.

The right way

There is no right way. There is my way. There are other's ways.

But there is only ever my choice.

God and Religion

I'm a strong believer in God and Religion, I just haven't found one yet that wasn't made up by Man.

Martini etiquette

Politeness decrees that you should slurp your Martini, once intoxicated. Doubly so, should your host insist on refreshing both of your drinks.

It is what it is

A wombat holding a jumbuck is not a swagman.

Government assistance

Unasked, government pushes the person in a wheelchair up the incline. Unquestioningly the general population nods their approval. Unsurprisingly the person in the wheelchair wants to do it for themselves.

Productivity apps

After looking through the daily offerings of new productivity apps I have very little time left for anything else.

Worry

If worrying achieved success there'd be a lot of successful people.

Old wine

Old wine frequently offers little excitement. It caresses knowledge comfortably and reminds you of what you hope young wine will become. It rewards patience.

Young wine is quickly spat out or savored with raised eyebrows. It educates and entices with the promise of what is to come. It rewards patience.

Who's in charge?

In the gamut of theories on who really runs things, from power-savvy bureaucrats to men in smokey rooms, there is a constant: the "citizens" who are told they are run things - don't.

Next

Fretting over what was stops you seeing what is next.

Left versus Right

Every time the public distracts themselves by arguing the merits of Left or Right, a politician chuckles.

Cooperation

If everyone does a little then nobody has to do too much.

Government control

The government quest for total control is like an octopus trying to juggle a dozen eggs.

Possibilities

So many things that I can do in life. The time left is irrelevant. Potential, pursuit and perseverance is all that ever matters

Achievement

Achievement will always take the time it takes, but it will always take time.

Move

Keep moving forward, life's there.

Power and the Self

How I master my Self opens me to power. 

Cold on warming

Climate change is science, anthropogenic global warming is religion.

Democracy is always right?

Ultimately if people believe in democracy then it doesn't matter who wins because the outcome is always correct.

Free markets address complexity

Life has more variables than the well intentioned can ever feasibly compute which is why the mechanism of the free market is humankind's greatest tool for addressing complexity.

Public Perception

Management if public perception is a tool that deserves overestimation.

Running society with force

Maintaining the position that society can only be run by force is admission of possession of no imagination.

Politicians and original thought

Politics is not the purview of original thought, it is a collection of age old games ruthlessly rearranged to bewilder the powerless.

Government reassurance

I am as comfortable with government assurances of privacy as I am with a poorly formed stool.

Wine tasting

Accurate wine tasting can only be achieved by finishing the bottle.

Blind, pathetic servants

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Those ignorant and salivating servants who wish their masters more power are, perhaps, the most pitiful of all.

Realised Potential

Mediocre projects completed eclipse great ideas unrealized.

Secret care

If you whisper into a horse's ear then don't be surprised if the rider hears you.

Injured wolves

When two wolves fight and one gets bitten, pity neither but guard your sheep ever closer.

Whereperson

Politicians tend to act like real people only once in a blue moon. For this reason I tend to think of them as a wherepeople.

The Soul

The soul remembers every touch.

Evasiveness

As slippery as a well oiled socialist on a soap box.

Working towards goals

The more I do it, the more I've done it.
