WHO ARE YOU REALLY ALIGNING WITH?

I remember my Year Eleven Modern History Textbook saying something that rang in my head like the first verse of Roxette’s Listen To Your Heart (Cascade covered it later). The line was, “But that love falls apart.” The line from my history textbook was about the tenuous alliance between the…

PERCENTAGES CANNOT BE EQUATED WITH CONNECTION.

During The Voice, there have been numerous people, especially conservatives, who have made disparaging comments about Indigenous Australians and claiming how fair they are. There is an alternative side to this that needs to be considered. If one reads “The Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith” by Thomas Kenneally, one will see…

WOKENESS.

I had a foolish troll, whom I blocked, call me woke and when I told him that I’d take it as a compliment, tell me that I would because I’m woke and told me to wake up. When you are woke you are awake to injustice. I saw a ridiculous…

GOD DOESN’T MAKE MISTAKES…??? HMM, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

I remember, 40 years ago, at school, a girl asking me, and giggling at my response to how babies were created. At that time, at the age of 8, my sex education was limited to only married ladies could have babies. I wondered, were babies a lottery of the draw…

NOW PERFECT STRANGERS.

Steps’ upbeat song Last Thing on My Mind is about a woman who thought she really knew her life partner, only to have things unexpectedly change and him being, in her words, “Suddenly like a stranger.” We talk about friendships that have stood the test of time, but we have…

TALK ABOUT MISAPPROPRIATION.

100 years before Dr Martin Luther King Jnr delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech, the USA was commencing a civil war, one of the causes of which was slavery. The newly minted US President, Abraham Lincoln, was vehemently opposed to slavery, and he signed the Emancipation Proclamation thereby ending…
