Have you noticed that every time the subject of reincarnation is brought up, all those who think they can remember a past life, have always been famous people? For some reason not too many believe that they came from the lower end of the society ladder, like slaves, surfs or labourers.

It’s also strange how a large proportion of them also believe that they were on board the Titanic.

As a friend point out to me that’s probably why it sank.

Here we go again, the Labor party finally gets its chance to show the country what it can do after an absence of 12 years, and the first thing they are planning is to slap a new tax on us all. For some reason they want to take $6 dollars from everybody in the country, to give it to parents as a top up payment to assist in the bringing up of their children.

Surly, it’s time that people were made accountable for their own actions. After all they had the pleasure of making the child in the first place, surly they should have the pleasure of looking after it at their own expense. Maybe when they plan to have their next child, they should also plan how they will be able to finance its upbringing until it leaves school.

Here we go again, the so called weather experts are coming out of the wood work like cockroaches, all trying to forecast our weather. Maybe, instead of being called forecasting it should be known as guessing. These guys are just getting ahead of themselves trying to impress us. Now they are trying to forecast not just a few days in advance, but a couple of years into the future.  I’ve just watched one on television telling us here in Brisbane that later in the year we will receive a further 800mm of rain. He went on to add that we will also receive another 800mm of rain next year. This is the same guy who looks out of the studio window and still gets it wrong.

Just been reading a newspaper story about a high profile television star who was found unconscious in a park. When the police arrived he was still unconscious and taken to hospital. Police also found a small amount of drugs in his pocket and charged him. When he was able to answer questions he claimed that his drink was spiked while visiting a night club and that the drugs had been placed into his pocket.

I was talking to a young couple the other day, and they were telling me how much it had cost them to get married in their local church. Especially of what it cost them for the church ceremony. I was absolutely amazed at what they were charged. I told them that in my day you usually dropped a few coppers in the donation box as you left the church. That’s after having shaken hands with the vicar, as he asked you if he could have the few flowers you had scattered around in the church. They probably ended up on his side board or mantelpiece, or low and behold they could have been sold back to the shop.

Just seen some television footage of our Police Minister here in Queensland, declaring that as a teenager she once smoked pot. I can also remember reading an article which stated that pot smoking could cause damage by destroying brain cells. Which seems to be the point because at the time she made the statement, she was flanked by two of her top Police officers. However, instead of arresting her they edged away in a move that I’m sure indicated that they wanted to distance themselves from the statement.

It’s a pity that the press did not ask the Police Officers if they also participated during their teenage days, or if they agreed with her.

Oh, she never mentioned if she actually inhaled, as in Bill Clinton’s statement a couple of years ago, which seemed to make it legal.

At the moment we are being bombarded with useless information, and in some cases blatant lies about the adding of fluoride to our drinking water here in Queensland to protect our children’s teeth. One claim by our Premier is that our Queensland children have the worse teeth in Australia, which is not true. In fact Canberra our capitol state, which has had Fluoride added to its water for many years has the worst record.

Okay I think it’s time I came down off the fence and declared that I’m not a supporter of Global Warming, but I am a very very strong believer of Climate Change.Many people are going to regret the day they ever allowed carbon credits to become part of our everyday language, because it’s certainly going to play a very big part in our everyday lives from now on. Especially, when it comes to the taking (stealing) of our hard earned cash to pay for it.

Can anybody please tell me

“The Meaning Of Life”

Terry

A job he’s wanted for the past 50 years

I have just heard the news that Raul Castro is to take over from his brother Fidel as Dictator of Cuba.

If I had the luxury of being a western journalist, the first question I would ask him is ’why and how did you murder the American William Morgan’ & ‘when will he put himself on trial for the murder’.

Once again I can only repeat a line I have used many times in the past, and that is, ‘the first thing any leader does, when he has just taken over another country by force, is to get rid of his opposition’. .
In this case William Morgan was one of the architects who helped devised and execute the plan to take control of Cuba from General Batista. Once successful a leader was needed to replace him. At that time there were several people who could have taken the job, which meant that there were several people who might later oppose whoever was chosen. At that time Fidel seemed to be the choice, although he was not necessary the best person for the job. Once on the throne, Fidel set about getting rid of his opposition, to make his rein more peaceful and used his brother Raul to do the job.

.
It’s believed that Raul Fidel’s brother killed William Morgan while he was being held in the notorious La Cabana prison. The strange thing is Morgan had backed Fidel right from the start. Therefore we can only assume that Fidel was worried what might have happened down the track when his popularity started to wane.

.
For those who would like to know a little more, the following is taken from a book called ‘American Soldiers Of Fortune’ by Jay Mallins & Robert K. Brown .
QUOTE “Many people believe that Fidel Castro won the Cuban civil war/revolution. Fidel Castro believes it. The fact is, however, that a large number of Cubans from all walks of life participated in that struggle, and a number of these people played significant leadership roles. Castro became a symbol: he was young, charismatic, public relations conscious, and there was a romantic aura about him. The reality, however, was that Castro was the leader of but one of several revolutionary en-tities engaged in the war against Dictator Fulgencio Batista.

.
One of the other military leaders was an American William Alexander Morgan. If soldiers of fortune can, by the very nature of their calling, be termed ‘colourful,” none is more aptly described by that word than Morgan. During the course of his career he was a united States soldier, a fugitive from justice, a guerrilla chieftain, the “mayor” of a Cuban city, a master international intriguer, a high-ranking officer in a foreign army –and a frog farmer”. UN-QUOTE.
