GOD IS DEAD. HE IS NO MORE. HE IS KAPUT.
There is no such thing as church law, sharia law or any other religious law. The law of the land, Government law, or International law applies. Religious entities simply do not have the legal power or authority to create or apply laws.

The Indian Pacific - An Australian Journey from East to West
The Indian-Pacific is an interesting train in that it runs from Sydney, on Australia's east coast to Perth on Australia's west coast via Central NSW, South Australia and a substantial slice of Western Australia. It has been running since the 1970's and despite having been renovated a number of times, it is starting to show its age a bit but it is still one of the world's more interesting railway trips. |

SYDNEY. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. 25 September 2009
Sydney has been one of Australia's main international destinations for visitors from other countries and while other Australian cities are now beginning to make an impact, Sydney is likely to remain Australia's main gateway for some years to come. |

JOHN HOWARD. THE GRUB FROM DOWN-UNDER
Ah yes, my Australian friends certainly won't like me for this little contribution but then, that's life.
First of all we must ask the question as to how on earth John Howard ever managed to stay in power as Prime Minister for 11 long years. Were Australians asleep at the wheel or did they just care more about cricket rather than a fair and just Government?

GIVE US THE USS LIBERTY
The issue of the Liberty has deeply poisoned the American relationship with Israel. It is a far greater thorn than Israelis understand because, in fact, Israel did try to kill every sailor on board The Liberty. If I needed persuasion of that, I got it with the correspondence I began with two officers of the Liberty, as well as my personal meetings with British documentary maker, Peter Hounam, who made a highly damning of Israel film of the incident, shown on the BBC. |

AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT FULLY AWARE OF CIA TORTURE OF DAVID HICKS AND MAMDOUH HABIB
While the former Australian Liberal Government has always claimed that it knew nothing of allegations of the torture of Australians David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib at Guantanamo Bay, it now turns out that both the then Attorney General, Philip Ruddock as well as then Prime Minister, John Howard, were fully briefed as to the methods of interrogation of both men by CIA operatives.

TONY BLAIR FOR EU PRESIDENT? THE THOUGHT OF IT ALONE WOULD MAKE ME WANT TO THROW UP
Remember a man named Tony Blair? Yep, that's him.
He was the one who ventured into an illegal war in Iraq together with his other two grubby little mates George W Bush and Johnny Howard. And then, after his resignation as British PM, he became a Middle East 'peace representative' on behalf of the United Nations, achieving absolutely nothing in the process. |

Chinese Justice - A Bit Like Chinese Shirts - Cheap and Nasty
Try this one for stupidity.
Chinese Government owned company, Chinalco, tries to buy into Anglo-Australian iron ore miner, Rio Tinto, and fails in its bid because Rio had other ideas in terms of who controlled the company as well as the fact that the Australian Government and the general population did not like the deal either. |

Well May We Say “God Save The Queen” Because Nothing Will Save Tony Blair
Remember the war in Iraq, one of the two? Take your pick.
One was because Saddam invaded Kuwait, a country that was growing oil and not oranges while the other was because Saddam was said to have weapons of mass destruction, weapons that never were and for which former US President George W is still looking, together with his brains. In his dreams that is.

DUTCH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN EU ELECTION FARCE
The shining light of European democracy, fairness, and human rights justice, The Netherlands, is turning out not so democratic, fair and just after all, this following an investigation into some rather dubious practices by Dutch officials in relation to the soon to be held EU elections.

This space for sale
Unless we are being completely deceived by everything in the Wall Street Journal, the US and other world markets are teetering on the edge of a chasm of unknown depth. Allusions are made to the “great depression” but in retrospect even that catastrophic moment in America’s rise to King of the Capitalists, might pale in comparison. How did we ever get into this mess? Who is to blame? |

Gum, Apparently I’m Chewing It Wrong.
As a consumer these days I am rarely satisfied with the level of performance of a product as compared to its claims in the advertising campaign. Advertisers have stopped even trying to accurately represent their product and instead have decided to use their commercials as subtle resumes to break into the science fiction movie genre. As an open minded consumer I would love to journey to outer space, but then sometimes I just want a piece of gum. |

The Agnostic Pulpit: Toxic Advertising
If you have a fantasy, daydream, or secret desire, there is someone out there ready to help, for a price. The most toxic and seductive advertisements play into our fantasies. When in comes to advertisements, we can be our own worst enemies. |

Creationists Celebrate as The Lord God Privatises Education
Should the state take responsibility for the education of its youth? Should children be taught a broad, well-rounded curriculum? Should children be educated on all areas of both fact and faith, rather than any form of religious bias? Should children be counted as individuals rather than statistics? |

Is There Truth in Advertising or Does Their Advertising Never Ring True?
When a company tries and sells you their product, wouldn't it make sense to first demonstrate that they live on the same planet as the rest of us? Prove to me you are human first, then try and sell me relief for my pain. If you actually reside in the twilight zone then go and peddle your crap there instead. |

In the Event of a Zombie Attack, Avoid All Home Depots
In today's age of business it is clear that the education and general intelligence level of employees are at the very bottom of ANY business's list of priorities. Today businesses are employing mindless Zombies and other horrors to clearly side step the fact that they might have to pay an educated human being. If we are all going to survive this Apocalyptic hostile take over we might need to fire some torches and grab our pitchforks because clearly reason and logic are no longer viable weapons. |

Who cares how it happened, that’s one cool way to die!
I like the idea of death. Without it, we'd all be a lot worse off. It's like a giant eraser cleaning off a portion of the world’s slate ever day, making room for new drawings and words. Everybody's going to die; no free passes, no buying your way out of it…rich, poor, fat, thin, attractive, ugly, black, white, religious, heathens, we're all going down, it's just a matter of when, where and how. |

AROUND THE WORLD IN...whenever.
I’m not sure what can really be said for travelling the world. So many proverbs come to mind and it’s really not in anybodies best interest if we tabulate all these in the forthcoming passages. What I can do though is offer my own two cents, and hope that they are worth more than their title. |
