- Mental Junkyard… mind the dogs

prepare the bandage, my hearts about to bleed a little...	Jul 31st, 2007 10:13:02 am - Subscribe
So another day another university lecture. But it feels good to be engaging with the subject matter. It feels good also to be talking through my fingers again... "why are they called fingers? I've never seen them fing." I'm feeling distinctly more positive and more and more relaxed and focused. Maybe its staring at this screen and watching words form. Maybe its getting out of my own head. Being sick really fucked me over. I'm really pissed off at the moment. This is a slightly political whine specific to Australia, so feel free to tune out. Gunns Ltd a big nasty logging company based in tassie has been chopping down the old growth forrests for ages. They used to just chip the whole load of wood and send it overseas to make nice fat profits. But they had a little bit of a think about that and it turns out if they pulp the chip first and send the pulp overseas they make more money. So they petitioned the government to get this big filthy pulp mill through. Well it had to go through an independant commission and it was taking too long. This was starting to put Gunns off the project and they were apparently thinking of pulling out. So the government stood in, wrote special one off legistlation for gunns and then pushed past the independant commission and got the fucking thing passed. There are multiple negative environmental issues associated with the plant as well as the fact that the rate payers in the proposed area don't want the damn thing to go ahead. What pisses me off most is that the fucking government is blatantly flaunting the one rule for you and another rule for us policy they have going with big business. It's fucked. We live in one of the driest environments in the world and they want to use our water to pulp wood? They want to cut down the fucking trees which are a staple in the rain cycle. They wonder why we have climate chaos at the moment???? Its gotten under my skin. I'm sure if you had a little look you'd find shit loads of simmilar things floating around the world. I mean, what kind of world is it when we just fucking bypass the independent commissions to make rules for big business at the expense of people who are trying to live and enjoy their hard earned homes and lifestyles? It just fucked. Its as bad as the idea they have up in the town that I grew up in called Dungog to dam one of the valleys and create a huge dam to pump water down to the central coast miles and miles away because all the rich people with waterfront homes at gosford etc can't maintain their way of living because there isn't enough water down there. They want to sink lots of good farm land and push people out of their homes so that they can keep the richer more lucrative cunts in their lap of waterside luxury. Well i say that if you can't live there or you want to live there your water should cost heaps or you should abandon the place all together. I'm just tired of governments fucking around with the people that they are supposed to represent rather than doing their jobs. Promises promises and no fucking action. Tron
