My comment about insanity was really the bemusement that Britney Spears and Tiger Woods generate so much traffic around the private lives (not that they have private lives) versus, say WWIII breaking out and 20 million dead in a far away country... <br /><br /><em>No it doesn't Zen. It proves that those of us in the 'real world' have that which is enough. Our children are relatively happy and we can afford to have a glass of wine with our dinner.</em><br /><br />Fair point. Does that mean all the Al Gorites worrying that the end is truly nigh unless we tax carbon do not also live in the real world?ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-52554653914518228932009-12-06T16:42:34.292+13:002009-12-06T16:42:34.292+13:00And Ruth is going to change her name to Pollyanna ...And Ruth is going to change her name to Pollyanna any day now....KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940428991630766942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-33398180948092284512009-12-06T16:34:03.319+13:002009-12-06T16:34:03.319+13:00It only proves the "real world" is full ...<i>It only proves the "real world" is full of lunatics or a well conditioned populace to follow and not think.<br /></i><br /><br />No it doesn't Zen.

In the "real world", the MSM spend more time promoting Tiger Woods and his personal life than discuss the issues raised out of ClimageGate.<br /><br />It only proves the "real world" is full of lunatics or a well conditioned populace to follow and not think.<br /><br />They are indeed controlling the narrative.ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-28812137566648940732009-12-05T13:18:46.440+13:002009-12-05T13:18:46.440+13:00And meanwhile, in the realworld:

Obviously couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.<br /><br />Tiger's fall from grace is a very sad affair.<br /><br />Nearly as bad as ClimateGate.<br /><br />I li9nk the point made on one of the links - when the Government can no longer control the narrative, expect it to react.<br /><br />The blogosphere is upsetting the control of the narrative. If more people turn to it for news, then the MSM can't get away with running lightweight articles and ingnoring major stories.<br /><br />What will be the outcome of that? The more I watch from the sidelines, the more it seems that the political party has less influence on the machinery of government than we would think.<br /><br />I'm in Australia this week and watching the Tony Abbott saga unfold has been interesting.<br /><br />The media's reaction to Abbott is to promote other issues into the forefront, to swamp the discussion on the lack of justification for rushing an ETS scheme through the Senate, in advance of Copenhagen. Any rational person would expect it prudent to wait until after Copenhagen to discuss next steps. Which shows how zealous and illogical the ClimateGate crowd are over this matter.<br /><br />And Rudd is doing his best to suggest Abbott has a nuclear reactor in his budgie smugglers, and the papers are running articles on Abbott's stand on abortion. It's very funny.ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.com
