Recently, one of my commenters said that we had become a society of sex, drugs, mock and troll. How profound was that? Everything was either lewd, spaced out, or subject to ridicule and abuse.
Doesn't that just about sum up today's world in a nutshell?
It is no longer sex drugs, rock and roll. Our modern society has taken things to a new level.

The Last Post would be familiar to all Australians from an early age. It is played at every ANZAC Day ceremony by a bugler in an army uniform and frequently at funerals of soldiers and veterans.
Does the average civilian attendee understand the significance of this quasi musical interlude? Is it an entertainment piece that everyone expects to hear because it is always part of the programme like the hymn “Oh God our Help in Ages Past”?
The Last Post is one of the most ancient tools used by modern British founded armies and has its roots in the days of the Roman Empire when horns were used to play the hymn of the Goddess Diana and as signals to command troops on the battlefield. Even to this day, the French term for what we call e reveille is La Diana.
All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: it’s one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him… One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them.”
~ H. L. Mencken, “Prejudices: Third Series (Le Contrat Social)“. Book by H. L. Mencken, 1922.

I just off the phone from talking to my Mum, Redhead. We were talking about how some older neighbours had relocated to another state to be closer to their daughter. While waiting for their house to be ready, they are living with their daughter. It has been months now.
The conversation turned to how it is nice to have visitors but they, like fish, start to smell after two days. Redhead said that she could never understand why I was so reluctant to move in with her, seeing as she had a big house and lived alone " We get on so well, don't we? " she asked.
"Yes " I replied. " Because we don't live together. "
And so began the conversation and the story of Bombay Gin, getting up at sparrows fart, noodles and The Crooner.

Of all the magnificent units and regiments of the Australian Army I doubt if any have a better claim to have been the one that saved Australia than the 39th Infantry Battalion, the first to advance down the Kokoda Track to confront the Japanese.
There are a number of units who could claim this title. The 25th Brigade in the defence of Milne Bay so ably presented a few days ago and the Coral Sea Battle. The former was supported by the RAAF. The Coral Sea Battle was a largely American enterprise. The 39th held the Japs at bay alone and unsupported until the 7th Division arrived fresh from the Middle East. For that they get my vote without detracting in any way the efforts and performance of all of our other units, and the Americans, who took on the Japs.

I WANT TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN.
I really do. If lockdowns work, I want to do my part and stay home. If masks work, I want to wear them. If social distancing is effective, I want to comply.
But, if there is evidence they don't, I want to hear that evidence too. If highly-credentialed scientists have different opinions, I want to know what they think. I want a chance to hear their arguments and make up my own mind.
I don't think I'm the smartest person in the world, but I think I can think. Maybe I'm weird, but if someone is censored, then I REALLY want to hear what they think.
Don't you?
In recent years there has been a concerning push from the radical Left to end ANZAC Day.
These people say that ANZAC Day is no longer relevant. They say ANZAC Day glorifies war. They say ANZAC Day has just become an excuse to get drunk and gamble.
But you know better – ANZAC Day is a precious moment in the Australian calendar when we acknowledge a core aspect of our national spirit.
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinborough, has died. I feel a deep sense of sadness when I think of this man who, like so many others around the world, has died in a world that is so foreign to everything that he sacrificed for and fought for.
After over a year of stifling rules, restrictions and stressful family betrayals, I wonder if he died of simple old age, of grief, the vaccine or just simply thought " Oh Bugger it. I've had enough. "
Back in 2001, The Stargate franchise aired an episode that, in hindsight, seems strangely sinister when it is re-watched twenty years later. Episode 416 opens with Dr. Samantha Carter approaching a man sitting at a table outside of a small restaurant. It’s her husband, Joe. Samantha tells him that her pregnancy test came back negative; they are both disappointed. As Sam walks him to a terminal for him to leave the planet on business, they discuss the Aschen — an alien race with whom Earth has been allied for a decade. The Aschen’s medical technology is very advanced and, ten years earlier, they had gifted the world's population with a vaccine that would increase human life expectancy.
Aschen medical technology includes an anti-aging vaccine, anti-cancer treatment, and medical machines that can reverse tissue damage and mend broken bones. They are hundreds of years ahead of us.
As we count down to ANZAC Day, it is important to remember that it was the brave men and women who fought for freedom all around the world that have given us the opportunity to fight back against any further threat to our liberties.
This month we have been featuring stories of the wars, the conflicts and the battles waged across the centuries and oceans to bring us what is now being taken without a shot being fired. The Marines, the brave pilots and sailors, the soldiers and the sacrifices that they made for us.
Today, I want to remember the first two Sydneys. The HMAS Sydney from 1901 - 1941.
Lest We Forget.

The western world has a very high opinion of itself and its supposed values, and its treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange makes a lie of it all.
Truth. Justice. Freedom. Democracy. We are taught from an early age that these are the sacred values our society upholds with the utmost reverence, and that we are very fortunate to have been born in a part of the world which holds such virtue.
