Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note — tweaking and tampering democracy
The idea that we shouldn’t tamper, tweak or update the democratic or voting system or the constitution for that matter, because it was developed by some supposedly very wise men 120 years ago and is Jurassic park like, suspended in aspic or fossilised amber, is driven I suspect by emotion and sentiment more than anything else and it’s a hard habit to let go.
Random Note — The Compelled Speech And Thought Control Of The Transgender Tyrants
We are now in the very dangerous area where FREE speech has been supplanted by COMPELLED speech.

Mental Floss — Bookmaking
Apart from the names, can anyone tell me or identify the difference between a bookmaker and an insurance company. Both are betting on an outcome of something happening or not happening and frame their odds accordingly. A horse in a race for example has its odds framed...
Random Note — The Biden, Harris, Clinton three step.
Hillary Clinton was making noises again earlier this week about how she’s not finished with politics. What was she really saying? Let me have a go at deconstructing her kite flying. Keeping in mind Biden’s flailing performance and failing mental acuity and his...
China and the Looming Warfare over Taiwan, Quadrant Magazine, April 2021
Worth reading the entire essay but the cut and paste below gives the general flavour. Taiwan with only 24 million people would not necessarily be the pushover China thinks. READ ON “….It is hard to believe that the Japanese High Command is not saying to the Chinese...
Random Note — White Privilege
Listening to a podcast last week and again I was subjected to the mindless, clueless, rehearsed talking points and the associated fawning apology for “white privilege”. I say cluelessly because it is quite clear that the white privilege incantation is the end product...
