My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

This weekend gone by has been a good one. Good food (well, what little food I ate), good drink (what little drink I drank), and good company (or should I say fantastic?).

There were dolphins all over the coast in large pods (schools? pods? something?) of like 10ish and there were around 3-4 different groups of them. I pointed them out but SOMEONE thought I was crazy at first until we realised they were everywhere! One of them was surfing on a wave that came into shore...but it broke on the rocks, I saw him just before the wave crashed...either he was pulling off a surfing manouvre that was far better than anything I've ever seen before that it damn near went against the laws of gravity...or he got hammered! for the poor dolphins sake I hope it was the former rather than the latter.

IAG.AX 3.460 -0.020

They said that my IAG shares were meant to be sold when they were at 3.30 because they'd never get much higher than that..look at that! 3.46....sure they've dropped by like 0.020..but the trend for them is pretty damn good...shame I don't really have enough of an interest in them to actually make any money out of the whole transaction.

Why is it that Australia has decided to send in a "peace keeping force" to "help" out the Solomon Islands 5 yrs after they were overtaken by rebels? Is it because our foreign policy has changed to mimick that of the US? Is it because there is some monetary gain to be had from undertaking such a task? Or are we simply kissing Bush arse again?

"The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment-an attitude that has never again left me, even though, later on, it has been tempered by a better insight into the causal connections" - Einstein on reading scientific books.
