There will be rain, but this may happen just about everywhere eventually. And there is so much to burn here. Canberra burned some time back. We have been fortunate so far not to have had a mass casualty event.
Once conservatives were not nihilists, were careful. If they made mistakes they made amends. Malcolm Fraser was Army minister during the Vietnam war. When the refugees, thousands of them came by boat, they were all welcomed with bipartisan support.
Recently Tony Abbott. has been in Israel giving lectures on the climate cult, the threat from Islam and immigration. 'Cutting emissions is like sacrificing goats to appease the volcano gods.' Makes me think of the Aryan death cult.
The common thread seems to be that we should be able to do exactly as we like with no restraint. I can imagine Chris Hedges calling this heresy. Everything is culture war. When Rudd's daughter moved with the family to The Lodge in 2007 they found one thing left behind in the DVD player.....something like The Great Global Warming conspiracy. And Howard was more reality based than this lot.
