When Dr Suess was " banned " by Cancel Culture I wondered why. His books were nonsense and delightfully foolish. Harmless fun. Simple words to delight and educate children in a way that entertained and put smiles on little faces.
In fact, being a Dr Suess fan all of my life, I have always had one of his books in my home and I am nearly 70. So why am I writing about frogs, footwear, fantasy and fluffy pillows? Well, read the article and you may understand,

This morning I received an email from a banned poster. It contained accusations and questions that held some of my personal information and - to be honest - I found it as low as it was disgraceful.

In 1972, President Richard Nixon visited mainland China, opening the door for diplomatic relations between the two countries. It was a dramatic visit, as Nixon became the first United States President to visit the communist nation.
Nixon met with Chinese dictator Mao Zedong, who is considered the world’s greatest mass murderer. During the “Great Leap Forward,” between 1958 and 1962, over 45 million Chinese were killed of starvation, torture and other barbaric methods.

If you are like me, you will probably be sick and tired of this Covid, Vaccine, Climate Change, Build Back Better roundabout. It just keeps going around and around like an old vinyl record on permanent replay, or the movie " Groundhog Day " watched over and over and over again. I want to get to my destination, but, what worries me is that the destination may be so awful that I would be better off on the carousel. Waiting it out.

In 1971, a young 32 year old mechanical engineer and economist founded a non government organisation whose purpose it was to assemble political and business leaders from around the world and let them all have a pow-wow about really important things. His name was Klaus Schwab, and this German man of a relatively young age came up with a rather interesting idea. He created The European Management Forum, now known as the World Economic Forum.
It was quite a feat when looked at on face value. His idea worked and is now on the annual agenda for the global elite who rock up each year and descend on the city of Davos in Switzerland like a plague of locusts; this swarm use gas guzzling private jets as their wings of preference.

It is well past time we Australians sorted out who we are. Are we an independent sovereign nation, or are we a colony? Who is legally sovereign the Queen of the United Kingdom, or the Queen of Australia, or the Australian people? Are we then legally a member of the United Nations?
