Oh, poo

No, I am not allowed to talk about you know what. So I wont.
What a 24 hours it has been! A train smash with a twist. All is not what it seems. But alas I am not at liberty to comment. The joys of being employed in the industry. Gagged!
Actually there was a few things I wanted to wax lyrical on and then all this happens. Oh, and the other news is that Melbourne's most wanted has turned up in Greece. He wasn't greasy (pardon the pun) enough to slip out of that one. Him and his girl friend. But wait, there's more. There is always more. Seems he managed to father a child, now 6 months old. The child may be Greek, Australian or state less. I will leave that one well alone. Actually I am amazed. I remember 12 months ago when the saga began commenting to Mrs Boss-lady that the said gentleman would never be found. I thought he would show up one day, well what was left of him at least, down a mine shaft or maybe wearing concrete pyjamas.
Of course the other big news in Mexico is drug dealing in schools and whether Mr and Mrs Plod should be informed and the offenders charged. Well of course they should be charged. And penalised. They have broken the law as well has contributed to the down fall of fellow students. What are we to do? Let drugs run amok? At the same time, I believe the offenders should be offered rehabilitation. Of course some of them wont take that offer. Oh, and should "do gooders" happened to read this tripe, on the same program it was admitted that young offenders who are let go finish up in our jails or worse still under a train.
On the subject of drugs and random test. It seems our esteemed law agency is against random drug testing of its members. Makes one wonder what they have to hide. I listen to a whole pile of double speak mixed with careful political clap trap on the way home this morning. Of course the subject came up as if a law enforcer was caught should he be dismissed from the force. That caused more side stepping the real issue. What's my egocentric opinion? Of course the person should be dismissed. On the instance. At the same time he also should be offered rehabilitation. Most wont take it of course.
That brings me to another pet peeve of mine. Clientele who hold doors open on trains thereby causing the train and their fellow passengers to be late. The simple fact of the matter is that they don't see they are doing any harm. For a train driver it is maddening. One wants to go back and put their head some place less than pleasant with a smell to match. Of course they can be fined. But that will do no good at all. They may or may not pay the fine, but it wont change their attitude one little bit. They will just be more vigilant to ensure they don't get caught. Of course if said train is late they will be the first to complain, usually to the driver.
Unless some one can see that what they are doing is wrong, there is no way they will change. And what's more it is pointless to try to get them to change.
I really want to comment on a couple of things but that can wait. But look out for my opinion, you may have an opinion also, on "The world seems to be spinning out of control. What can be done?" I had intended to write that one up but haven't got that far. The topic is the subject of Arch Bishops Freier's next Brunch conversation at the Federation Square. I think it is a good topic and one I would like to have a go at addressing. To find out more go here: www.melbourne.anglican.com.au Apparently he wants to "discuss possible solutions to the biggest issues facing our planet - global warming and global poverty." Both are so easy and yet so hard to fix. I would like to go to this brunch. If I am off I will try to. By the way it is possible to listen to the previous talks. They are good. It's not all spiritual and practical ways of change are talked about. This guy is not so heavenly minded to be of no earthly use.
