Since the revelations of NSA snooping, we're all a bit on edge about privacy in these digital times. But back in 1970, the writers at Newsweek were already worrying about the effects technology and mass communication would have on our private lives. If only they could have been as insightful about the business model of printed news magazines...

I've been eyeing off the vapor genie... Good to see it's endorsed by so many on SAB. Glass seems the way to go...

All: Peace, ho! Let us hear him.

Anthony: I come to praise, not to bury, the shoddy and the rooted -
To lament for the passing of those men, Safari suited,
Who'd flatten you with mindless glee when they got really newted.

Behind the bottleshop you'd see the roughest justice done:
Yeah, it was assault and battery - but with a sense of fun,
And a drink together after, when the ambulance had come.

Who would have thought you'd ever miss the barmaid's brutal snarl
And guys looking at you strange while she says, "What's yours, darl?"
"Wanna go?" is all you recall, before the blow and grand mal.

"You gotta fucking mouth on ya," those moustached yobs would say
Back when being literate was something to hide away
And being mediocre meant you played in the V.F.A.

But now everyone is talking, and it's oh so tres witty:
All those fucking D.J's and their flashy repartee -
It's always breakfast down in Hell, and radio compulsory.

From McGuiness to McGuire to Douglas fucking Aiton
There's a whole new type of person that's takin' over this damn nation:
And I'm not talkin' some racist crap about Asian immigration -

If you're a yobbo now, you're rooted; no one says, "I'll 'ave ya, pal" -
Listen to Adrian Martin, Jon Casimir, et al:
Excellence is demanded, or the critics give you hell.

Everyone's got a fucking voice - there's personae right and left:
They must learn this stuff in school: I mean, what fucking next?
Even the E.G cadets crap on, then move to the London desk.

Who needs another columnist to point out that the thing
'Bout living in the suburbs is that it ain't like Berlin? -
Just in case all of you in Melton were ever wondering.

I tell you what can get fucked, and that's fucking them for starters:
If there's one thing we just don't need, it's another mouthy smartarse
Slagging off the guys who wear footy shorts and zappatas.

You know who we've swapped them for? People who say "rad"
And blokes who go round reading books on being a modern dad -
Why, everything's so cool these days, I can't even understand Telstra ads.

Excellence surrounds us like a fucking voodoo curse:
There's Helen Garner's sister's book; there's all of modern verse;
There's world's best practice, and business men talking terse

On mobile phones on a mobile net that reaches round the earth;
Everything is excellent: nowadays, there's nothing worse
Than saying "I don't give a shit": you'd be in a fucking hearse

Driven by some consultant git who's analyzed your system
And wants to fully integrate you into modern wisdom:
He's gonna take you by the balls and flush you down the cistern.

You know what killed the Anzacs? It weren't the fucking Turks,
It was the Australians coming after them talking up the perks
Of fucking multi-skilling and how the Internet fucking works.

So give me back the good old days, though I know they really stank,
When everyone could seem to tell when you were talking wank,
And we didn't all have to go around pretending to be Yanks.

Give us back those great ideas that made this nation free,
Like the end of season footy trip, and inefficiency,
And if they aren't part of freedom - well, who gives a fuck? Not me.

Why find voice now at this stage, when silence was just fine?
Why learn to talk in coffee shops? It's a fucking wank, for mine.
Coathanger one of these effete guys, next thing you know he's cryin'.

The one thing good 'bout dumbing down is you're not so fucking smart;
I thought Australia was the country that had a silent heart -
It's time we just shutfuckingup. I know what. I'll start.

~TISM~

in eternity, where there is no time, nothing can grow, nothing can become, nothing changes. so death created time, to grow the things that it would kill, and you are reborn, but into the same life that youve always been born into. i mean, how many times have we had this conversation detectives? who knows. you cant remember your lives, you cant change your lives, and that is the terrible and secret fate of all life. your trapped. like a nightmare you keep waking up into.

Every man is mortal:
But I know one thing that never dies,
The glory of the great deed.

After clicking log on and catching up on some stuff on here today on le choofe de corroboree le mwa

personally i feel the attacks on Pat uri and his many schizoid split personalities lately have been pretty damn cruel. It's not like Pat just appeared yesterday - as some seem to think.

The knowledge this cattle farmer has provided is darn good reading and if he offends your sensibilities , well then, just block him as some might say.

yes yes, get your knickers in a knot won't you. Please do because the world might fall over if you don't.

oh and btw some might say that post counts like mine mean shit because anyone can rant and rave on any topic they feel like doing so on any particular day but when the day of reckoning comes you better not try to hide in my bunker or my cat (and fleas) will eat YOU ALIVE.

Sab aint just about cactus

p.s many here from the inception of this forum have offered up awesome trades and seeds - so don't think because you sent out heaps of seeds and shit - that renders you immutable from any of his previous commentary.

Get on trolley or fuck the right off.

The dudes i'm thinking off i would normally think extremely highly of but i just don't get it when out of left field comes a distasteful comment in a thread - just like i have done right here.

Oh and please don't get to hot and bothered because you are only one of many that will eat my truncheon today tada - get out of bed on the wrong side much?

Well do ya punk!

good onya and have a nice day
