After watching a private dancer, Floyd Mayweather, win a world championship boxing match on points, the question of unfair advantage has arisen. A technicality had denied the favoured opponent from using an anti inflammatory before the match. Floyd hadn't hurt anyone, but then Manny is not a woman. But the issue of unfair advantage plaguing left wing thinkers extends beyond such. How do unfair advantages get addressed? The ABC asks "Is having a loving family an unfair advantage?" and "Should parents snuggling up for one last story before lights out be even a little concerned about the advantage they might be conferring? "As a role model, Floyd would end the inequity.
Two jihadis died today attempting to kill artists. The jihadis had guns and explosives. But unlike Charlie Hebdo, the artists had significant armed support. Paris, Texas sounds a better place to draw.
Australian Federal Police explained its' role in relation to the executions of two of the Bali Nine. The AFP had not known specifics regarding the drug run and had notified the Indonesian police regarding details of it. Indonesian police rounded up the gang. If Indonesia had not been notified, the AFP might not have arrested anyone.
On this day in 1256, Pope Alexander IV issued a Papal Bull which allowed the Augustinian monastic order to constitute at Lecceto Monastery. Augustine of Hippo had, several hundred years before, championed the interpretation of the trinity and contributed to the development of Just war theory. On this day in 1415, the Council of Constance, whose main task was to unify the papacy, condemned Jan Huss and John Wycliffe. Huss was executed soon after, Wycliffe wasn't. Huss' crime was to be critical of the Catholic Church and to have a view on the eucharist that the church condemned. Huss had been influenced by the writings of Wycliffe. Wycliffe, living in England which was undergoing civil war, created an early English version of the Bible. In 1471, the Battle of Tewkesbury was favorable for Edward IV, but not Lancastrian Edward, Prince of Wales, who was killed, aged 17. According to some accounts, shortly after the rout of the Lancastrians at Tewkesbury, a small contingent of men under the Duke of Clarence found the grieving prince near a grove, and immediately beheaded him on a makeshift block, despite his pleas. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI divided the new world between Spain and Portugal.
In 1675, Charles II of England ordered the Greenwich Observatory be built, because he liked to watch. In 1814, Napoleon saw and landed on Elba as part of an exile which would not last. In 1869, the Naval Battle of Hakodate was fought between the new Japan and the shogunate of the Republic of Ezo. The Republic lost two steam ships sunk, and three surrendered. Japan lost one steamship of eight. The battle was fought over several days, starting on the 4th and finishing on the 10th of May. In 1871, The National Association opened its' first season of Baseball in Fort Wayne Indiana. In 1886, at a labor rally in Chicago, Illinois, called the Haymarket Affair, a bomb was thrown at police, who fired back into the crowd. Eight died and sixty were wounded.
In 1904, on the same day the US began building the Panama Canal, Charles Stewart Rolls met Frederick Henry Royce at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, England. In 1919, May Fourth Movement: Student demonstrations took place in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, protesting the Treaty of Versailles, which transferred Chinese territory to Japan. In 1932, Al Capone began serving eleven years for tax evasion. He would be paroled in '39 and never spent another day in prison. In 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea began with USS Yorktown launching aircraft against Japanese navy at Tulagi Island in the Solomans. In 1945, on the same day a concentration camp was freed in Hamburg, the North German Army surrendered to Montgomery. In 1949, the entire Torino football team died in a plane crash at the edge of Turin Italy. In 1953, Hemingway won the Pulitzer for "The Old Man and the Sea." It was the last big work to be published in Hemingway's lifetime, about an old sea man and his hunt for a marlin. In 1961, the Freedom Riders began their travels through the South of the US. In 1979, a red headed daughter of a Welsh Coal Miner became PM of the UK. Her name was Margaret Thatcher. In 1982, 20 UK sailors were killed when Argentina fired a French made Exocet missile. In 1998, the Unabomber took a plea deal to save his worthless life.

The stunning beauty Audrey Hepburn was born on this day in 1929. Jane McGrath in 1966. But my imagination is of a woman, who as a young child was photographed nude with her parent's blessing. I care nothing for the photograph, but the person. Such photography in its' day was considered beautiful, whereas today it is known as kiddy porn, it might not have been for that purpose it was made. She had inspired the photographer who was a mathematical genius and brilliant writer. Alice Liddell was born in 1852. The photographer made up stories placing her in fantasy settings on a boat trip. We know the stories as Alice in Wonderland. The author, known as Lewis Carroll maintained a healthy adult relationship with her and her family when she had grown up. Something that kiddy porn peoples are not noted for. She had a long, healthy life, lost two of her three sons to WW1, but was survived by the third.
There is much discussion as to how to tackle the debt left by six years of ALP government. ALP leaders claim the debt is not a bad problem. People living in the real world note $12 billion of interest a year and a further decade of structural debt during boom times is unsustainable and our children will suffer if we fail to address the issue now. We have an example of what we can do. Margaret Thatcher was elected PM on this day in 1979.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
