I could write the great Australian novel and maybe a dozen people would give a fuck. Then I could put up a video on YouTube of the neighbour's dog farting and get two million views. Such is the apparent state of our cultural landscape...

Is there anything more inevitable than unintended consequences?

Let me just say how COMLETELY AND UTTERLY SICKENED I am by this current pair of so-called political leaders. It's never been ideal with politicians but you have to wonder about his lot we've thrown up. Could it be yet another sign that humanity is rapidly devolving?
