Some Peace and Quiet is Nice!

The bad news is, yeah, we're all probably going to die, and very soon.

That would be a relief, frankly. To die, be truly dead and out of it all... if you don't believe in a literal afterlife, a plan with no drawbacks. As Khrushchev put it way back when, "the living will envy the dead".

I admit that I sometimes have this thought. It's not about self-harm, it's about being able to escape from the sheer noise of our wannabe dictator.

When Gough Whitlam was overthrown in November 1975, his successor Malcolm Fraser promised to "replace politics with sport on the front page". No wonder he won by a landslide.

A lot of people out there have been yelling for years that Biden/Harris are doomed because they don't "excite" people, but I think it's only a minority who want to live in exciting times.
