Moving Forward- If it feels right , its probably wrong

Nothing makes me more want to throw up, than the careless use of this shallow and myopic view --esp in election campaigns. Would you believe its the theme of our local alliance this November.
The thing a real pawn should remember is that moving forward, while it is the natural thing to do, its not something you do on your own advice if you want to win . An alliance of pawns (esp raw pawns)is doubly dangerous because they encourage each other to all think the same - just one direction and one direction only . Fellowcouncillors tarred with the same urgency itch to move forward will leave the team mated and checkmated.

Most of those who use this old and inadequate myth clearly don't understand how real progress works - in fits and starts, and mainly, in long established western democracies - on the hard work of shawing up the system -not moving so far ahead that you find yourself alone and without a strategy that will keep you from the predictable defeat that lies ahead . And defeat we trust ahead for those who do not know who to trust. Posted 21st November 2008. Study the pawn you silly prawns !

Vilification legislation

The Victorian parliament has witnessed some great moments. Moments when the Politically correct took second place to matters of foresight and principle .Not recently, however .
The hamfisted and dangerous( more likey to cut freedom of speech)R&RV legislation went through without hardly a murmor by the very aged Age Newspaper .The Age missed the most obviuos news essence of the time - standing on the steps of parliament during the debate were the most varied and diverse group of political elements ever to get together - Voltaire would have probably have been there.
Why wasn't the Age?
No wonder we don't buy The Age anymore.

Bracks has shown himself patheticly vulnerable to groups whe don't know the danger of good intentions. So much for the left and its learning curves?
