So the trend is for celebrities to get married & have parties in palaces & castles. They get paid millions for their photos & many people like that kind of news because it's light & fluffy information that won't upset anybody much. Some people want to know what to wear or how to do things like celebrities because it makes them feel good. Governments like that sort of thing because it keeps the ordinary person from thinking too much about what is really going on in the world.
Not many people care that the US & allies have been firing depleted uranium weapons in Iraq polluting the environment & killing & injuring innocent civilians. After all the media, the propaganda machine keeps telling us that the people of Iraq are hiding terrorists & must be tortured & killed. No one in the west wants to know that there are now millions of Iraqis leaving their homes & leaving the country. And lately, that Iraq is having a civil war & the US is only there to help. What has really happened since the invasion is that Iraq has become a failed state & company contractors are in place to keep the oil flowing. How much of the oil revenue is going to the Iraqis is anybody's guess.
In Australia our PM, 'by divine right' has got our law enforcement officers hunting terrorists instead of dealing with the daily terror on our own streets. More recently our PM has sent taken police & the army from their normal duties to chase up a few child abusers in the NT. He has been in power for 11 years & he never did think of doing anything much for our first settlers before. Because he was voted into power he thinks he can do anything he likes whenever he wishes & insists that we should trust him.
Every so often Australians are allowed to have a referendum on some really important issue such as 'daylight saving,' or whether we should get rid of the queen & become an independent nation. Australian have bowed & scraped to the British & Americans for far too long. It about time we grew up as a nation.
The PM of the day should not have the power to declare war on another nation just on a personal whim. That decision should be made after a public debate by all MPs State & Federal in a conscience vote or by a national referendum
