Many professionals reading the heading know this headline to be true
. We are ruled in AUSTRALIA ( until we change the system) by the superficial and the superficial, reactionary and ineffective medicine that flows from that . The most urbanized country in the world
is at risk of losing touch with its most productive and thoughtful members.
Until we insist in a return to the founding fathers vision of responsible representation . the democracy we have NOW will grind into ineffectiveness.Watch out for the pathetic blind pedantry that says Democracy is just about numbers . If you care for the country you give a voice to the country . Anyone who name calls and doesn't recall the need for gerrymanders is a patheticly narrow minded pedant.- sorry if i have offended you.
Our vision of what works is a system that makes us listen to each other, not the majority all the time.
No more patriarchal nonsense from the city; telling us it knows how the country should be run.
Go children ! Go millennial's

We came back briefly to country home this week to a barrage of letters in the paper ' people fighting to be heard about " whats the RIGHT thing to do " We appear to never have been so moral in our concerns - esp about the complex issues of "when we animals should do what in nature " .The outsiders are saying we should do nothing; What they are not saying directly is we should all leave.
Its easy to be and think superficially, especially when the challenge is deep and involves all of us and all of us a discussion about real risks of cruelty and killing.
Is the fight though , as talked about, real? or just fantasy-- on one side at least .The outsiders are all on about OUR problems and the how the world out there is OUR RESPONSIBILITY .
Clearly we are, here in the bush, the most responsible because we have the bats and the starving roos, fish and starving koalas to deal with .
Surprising to some most on ground managers like farmers would be most grateful if the outsiders advice was practical
but no -its mostly dumb uncaring stuff " leave things as they are and let die what dies" . A cruel lot of long and long suffering acts in themselves .
If you are not going to help us with local and practical care , piss off and look after your own suburb as J B Peterson tells us is critical to mental health of the country ( chaos avoidance ) and the person.
None of this religious idealism and hypocrisy of telling Brazilians they can't burn carbon fuels and animals shouldn't eat each other .
Brilliantly simple in theory, but NOT helpful in reducing the real ongoing risks of cruelty of some kind. ( some we can see . some we can't)
One of The most interesting things for us in the country is we HAVE TO weigh up which killing is worse and when ( because we share territory )
We share the deep challenge of stopping us killing each other - its not just idealistic.
We don't know need lectures from the absent minded armchair twitterers (AMAT's) in the city that life is cruel .
we of all people know how working with nature involves cruelty. But we move on , we face it ; we do something about that and deal with it as best we can . But we don't just talk about it and say let our most favored furry thing must dominate
YOU see its only real world carers that weigh up when and how culling should happen and happen without any unnecessary cruelty .
Moving the problem onto someone else is no solution ( we planners call it the NIMBY solution - its the very treason we have been shipping our wastes overseas .
