‘Enemy of the state’ is an ancient phrase that sinks its tangled roots deep into some of the darkest terroir of western history. The Romans would lay it on you preparatory to the sanction of proscriptio – with your torture, banishment and lawful murder by agents of the People and the Senate to follow.
Made a mistake this morning of watching Four Corners. About Work Cover/ workplace accident insurance. It really should be that the people in power who put our lives and health at risk should be held personally responsible. It didn't occur to me, the difference between vilifying the two women, and not vilifying the selfish idiots who keep loosening restrictions. Holding a footy match during a pandemic? Bloody hell.
I would have thought that having a healthy economy would have seen us endure this pandemic without people and businesses falling apart this quickly. I really do wonder if the people who adamantly voted Liberal are regretting it? Labor's lies and misdirection weren't much better, but surely they, at least, know to rely on more than their personal beliefs when running this country. (I think it was ScoMo who tweeted this after the bushfires and before the pandemic. Era: Quiet Australians.)
It took me until today to summon the courage to read this! Spot on as always JB! Gee it’s depressing though isn’t it, how easily the Other can be created, and the sentiments of a society can be swayed and manipulated, for the benefit of the powerful😢

The memes are great JB.
Forget about it John, it's plaguetown.
Would you be shocked, shocked to hear that the Aspen skiers are heroes, actually? https://twitter.com/BenjaminMillar/status/1289176926360231936
