Why Would We Be Feeling Pessimistic?

I remember when you could knit and smoke on a plane, not that I ever knitted, not that I knew you could knit no longer, I just read it online. What is going to happen, death by knitting needle? Really? 

I can remember when you could, actually, pack tooth paste in your hand luggage, before it became a political tool for politicians to be reelected.

Now a days we are continually being minimised by political ideology, particularly when comes to conservative political ideology. Let's face it, we wouldn't be in the terrorist mess we are in now if successive conservative American governments hadn't attacked the middle east with big fucken guns. We are in the mess we are in now, essentially, because of conservative governments lies. Remember, Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so the older Bush could justify invading. Then, the younger, idiot Bush killed 300 thousand Iraq's in retaliation of 2000 American deaths. 300 thousand Iraqis lost their lives because a handful of religious nut jobs had the audacity to attack America on home soil.

Now we are fighting "THE DEATH CULT" loudly and often Essentially, because Tony Abbott nearly lost his job.

It has just been revealed that Australian's feel less safe than they ever have? Really? Gosh, I am surprised.

Australians are feeling less safe than ever, are more pessimistic about the economy and are increasingly concerned about climate change according to a new poll.

Funny about that. That is what happens when you put ideologically unsound entitled knobs in charge. It is, essentially, because we now have a religious nut job running Australia.

After Abbott just scraped through the leadership challenge, threat, the first thing he did was ramp up the terrorism rhetoric as that was the only policy he had left that was working for him.

Hockey and Abbott trashed the economy with lies to get into power and now they can't undo the damage they did.

And with Abbott's bunch of climate deniers, his determination to destroy alternative power generation and his increasingly lame duck love of the coal industry Australian's have every reason to feel terrified about climate change.

There is some good news though, maybe Australian's aren't the racist dopes of which they seem to be giving a mighty fine impression with the annual Lowy Institute poll finding Australians rated the government's asylum seeker policies less than five out of ten, despite the coalition claiming credit for stopping the boats.
