An earthquake in 62 AD near Pompey may have been the precursor to the Volcanic action 17 years later. In consulting with Dr Flannery we have discovered that it is possible that the the earthquake was man made, as a result of the carbon use of the day. Trees were cut down and thrown on fires so ordinary people could eat or bathe. People even draw with the stuff. Chimneys were full of carbon soot. And now, with more efficient technology, things are worse. Not even a dozen baked dinners for Al Gore erases the carbon footprint of one hour in his jet. The only way to safely denude a forest is to have a climate conference.
In 1597, a group of early Christians were killed in Japan. But they persisted through the ages, and when Christians were welcomed back to Japan, it was found some of the original converts, and their families, had persisted. Actually, after hundreds of years .. it wasn't the original converts. In 1818, French born Bernadotte became King of Norway and Sweden. Bernadotte was a capable soldier and officer and had been kind to Swedish troops that has surrendered to him in battle, and so the Swedish nobility had elected him heir in 1810, and when the previous king died, this capable French soldier became king. In 1869, The "Welcome Stranger," was found in Victoria, the largest alluvial nugget ever, at 71 kg net weight gold. In 1909. Belgian chemist Leo Baekeland announced he had created a synthetic plastic he called Bakelite.
On this day in 1917, The 64th Congress of the US overrode a veto by Woodrow Wilson to pass the Immigration act of 1917. The congress was made up of a majority of Democrat red necks who didn't want Asians from the South East of Asia to go to the US. They also excluded “homosexuals”, “idiots”, “feeble-minded persons”, "criminals", “epileptics”, “insane persons”, alcoholics, “professional beggars”, all persons “mentally or physically defective”, polygamists, and anarchists. Since then, they have allowed some of those people to be President from the Democrat Party. In 1937, frustrated with not getting his own way, FDR attempted to enlarge the US Supreme Court. He failed, but one judge changed allegiances, called the 'stitch in time who saved nine.'
Nobody likes bureaucracy, but peace is a great excuse. In a gesture of peace in 1985, the Mayor of Rome and the Mayor of Carthage met in Tunis to sign a peace agreement, ending the third Punic War begun 2131 years before. The last few thousand years had not been really serious. In fact, the peace treaty might be said to be rubbing salt in the wound.

It is telling what is not said, as well as what is said. In defending the ABC from claims of bias, apologists refer to the fact Australia needs the ABC. As if the ABC could not survive if it was competent as a public broadcaster. As if the effort for some journalist not expressing their strong opinion of dislike for a conservative would be too much. It is possible for the ABC to be a superb organisation which as cornerstone of Australian culture could fearlessly hold politicians to account for their compliance to their agenda. Or, the ABC could remain inept and incapable of spotting corruption, incapable of producing compelling Australian cultural items, incapable of holding itself to a standard. Imagine if the ALP had produced a competent leader because poor ones were curtailed by precise criticism from the national broadcaster. It is easy, if you try.
It is telling what is not said in criticising Abbott to defend a multi million dollar claim for subsidy to a weak SPC Ardmona business. A profitable business is one that secures a future for its' workers. A subsidy won't do that. It is a responsible decision by Mr Abbott and necessary if Australia's budget is ever to be balanced. It is not a decision the ALP would have made. Neither is it a decision the ABC can applaud. Why does anyone care if the ABC applauds a decision? Naturally, unions are claiming that it is the end of industrial relations. Or the beginning. Or something.
It is telling what is not said in criticising the Australian government's border protection policy. Fewer boat people means fewer people drowning and being exploited by pirates. Also, fewer boat people means more refugees from refugee camps being offered a new life they could never have dreamed of from whatever impoverished war torn nation they fled. It is like effective aid. It might be cold and heartless to so completely and ruthlessly expose how bad ALP government had been. Or, how murderous were the ALP policies labelled compassionate. Where are the outspoken church people who promoted the previous devastation? Malcolm Fraser doesn't like it when people aren't drowning or being exploited by pirates, he seems to be upset by refugees being offered a new home and life.
It is telling and it is apparent, that if anyone told the ABC, they weren't listening.

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
