I weep for our children because they do not have the prospect of a home, while my generation have two.
I weep for our children because our forefathers worked to offer us careers in science ; not just jobs, because it takes a lifetime to master a science area. We don't work with each other but for ourselves.
Both poxy parties only talk about "jobs"
Neither party is grieved that our kids work is casualized and corrupted ( for some short term goal) The pox is on them because they all do it in the name of the market god.
Is there any lame brain in Parliament who doesn't worship the market and the slow consultants and corrupted contract system it has created .
It is of course foul mouthed ignorance and hypocrisy to talk of the need for another ICAC when any former public servant knows polys create the worst corruption every day by insisting they know things ;running their very own incompetent crap as truth .
I weep for that great mass of mere reactionaries who can talk about problems after the horse has bolted . We were trained to be planners , prevention agents,adn risk takers not driven about by the wind and by the destructive but pathetically weak whims of the demon of "the precautionary principle". You have heard of mutton dressed up as lamb . The PC way is political laziness and system abuse, it is fear dressed up to cover ignorance and ongoing incompetence . Find out you lazy buggers in the Emperors castle and take a risk like constituents have to.
I weep at the numbers of the blatant arrogant me generation persons who dare to call associations bad and themselves independently brilliant ; when interindependancy ( and standing together with those you don't always agree with --an alliance for a specific purpose) is essential in a democracy and society. No-one knows what many of them stand for ; they haven't made up their minds : stated precision in decision used to be a reason you would vote for someone and still should be . Even Labor don't state what they would use their latest carbon tax for : this hypocritical group deceitfully play down the fact that they don't know what they will do till they get there . they say they are working to get more climate change action" , Such actions which shall remain undefined lest people call them undecided about anything involving real decisions that affect people.
I weep for our children because they, like us, need hope to drive them and live ( That great life lesson -short term loss for long term gain does not come from the markets nonsense that you must have it NOW ) ;
So poorly educated in gain and pain they are deceived, confused and yet keen to see change . Our young people may well vote in the May 22 election for electric everything, when they could well have no power to keep it running. The short term gain of hope in a new energy source will not be possible because the long term planning for it, is as dreamy as the hot air they and the media have got caught up in . Does anyone on the left dare to take openly about energy choices for the next 20 /200 years?
I weep for my generation because they pretend we have lost power to the gods of the market when it was always within our power and wealth to not be so compliant to crude cut throat economics. Lost is a term for those who feel stuck but simply don't know a way out .They compound their confusion by worrying about the time ( probably still 200 years away ) when we will run out of fossil fuels and allowing some allied fear like Climate change compound all the rest they have .
I weep for my own generation now in 2022 that they insist we change the earth's environment before fixing up our own.
I weep for my generation because, while we are rich, our children are poor, and we could have done something about it.
I weep for my own rich generation because we have failed to pass on what we inherited ; a choice to give good work and a sound economy to our children.
