I've stated many times that the only benefit banning drugs like marijuana have is to increase the profits of organised crime and pharmacutical companies are the biggest drug dealers who are protected from the laws making $billions by pushing things like morphine and valium over something that is safe and can be grown for free (if the government can't make a profit they ban something beneficial)
But worse is how these laws are used to discriminate! Yep it's only those that the authorities don't like (no other reason) that are busted!
Look at Bill Clinton! He should have been prosecuted for admitting using illegal drugs and had his house confiscated and other assessts removed or blocked as he not only used pot but admitted to it! Then we have George Bush who doesn't deny using illegal drugs which is an admission.
But now we have more people running in politics that admit to using illegal drugs! How can they be so hypocritical?
Obama owns up to cannabis, cocaine use as teen

* Obama pledges new generation of US leadership
WASHINGTON - Bill Clinton famously admitted to having smoked marijuana but denied having ever inhaled.
"When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it," he said. "I didn't inhale and never tried it again."
His successor, George Bush, while acknowledging a near-alcoholic past, refused to say whether he had ever taken illegal drugs. In 1999, he said: "I've told the people of this country that, over 20 years ago, I made some mistakes when I was younger. I've learnt from those mistakes."
But a generation later there seems to be less bashfulness about the topic and controlling the message appears to be the key.
Barack Obama, the Democratic senator who has formally announced his bid to become America's first black president, long ago admitted taking both cannabis and cocaine while he was a teenager.
In a 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father, he wrote: "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack [heroin] though."
Mr Obama has also stressed his activities were part of a youthful behaviour he has long left behind and which he does not condone
So it's acknowledged it is part of youthful behavior!!!! That makes it alright then does it while millions of youth are prosecuted for being youthful!
And then you take medical conditions into account and someone can't use something like marijuana for pain management and all the other medical benefits to help with quality of life but a president of the United States can use marijuana for youthful behaviour.
Proves what I'm saying hey the pharmacutical companies control drug law to increase their profits at the expense of our youth and ill, injured and sick!

Recyled Water
This is the biggest crap issue I have read about in recent times.
For governments to claim recycled water is safe, reminds me of 20 years ago and chemical sales people would claim you can drink their toxic poisons, in fact some of the sales reps actually did drink a poison in front of workers and claim it was safe.
Likely they died early in life!
And to have polititians repeating this sort of sick behaviour by drinking recycled water and claiming it's safe is absolutely disgusting!
For one sure when a recycle plant is new it may produce safe drinking water but the problem lies further down the track when older plants don't work so efficiently and if your in safety you will understand that when equipment becomes used it does not work as efficiently as when it was new!
With the older plants and cost cutting there will be toxic spills into our drinking supplies this is 100% certain.
I can say it's certain becuase we can't even get the Safety Institute of Australia to ensure that members are qualified and competent.
And if we can't get our safety leaders to get their skills to a minimum level there is no hope of getting systems in place in these recycle plants that won't fail!
So poluting our water supplies with recycled water only benefits those making money our of water to the detriment of those using or drinking water. And then surveys are claiming 78% acceptance by Australians for recycled drinking water.
A great big lie by governments to push their agenda of selling off our water supplies as there is no way people would support toxic drinking water.

Abusive Women in our workplaces or maybe it's the homosexuals
Workers for Queensland rail have been warned not to take men's magazines into the workplace. Magazines such as FHM, Zoo Weekdly, People and Picture workers are warned they are risking their jobs if they brang that sort of magazine on site.
Now this is also an all male workplace which makes this ruling even more hypocritical!
Yet there are no mentions of banning Women's Weekly, Women's Day, Cosmopolitan or any of the many offensive and discriminatory magazines women read!
Worse there is not one mention of banning homosexual magazines which are offensive in the extreme!
This is an attack on the basic rights of freedom of speech! People should be allowed to read what they enjoy and for management to want to control what their workers read is a disgrace and belongs with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
So Queensland Rail is run by Nazi's it appears from this sort of ban. And what's next ban the bible, the Koran and just read Queensland Rail propaganda which is full of miss truths and uneducated opinions from the likes of the Safety Institute of Australia.

Water Crisis! Excuse to sell off more of Australia
The Federal Governments and all Governments for that matter in this country treat the people like idiots!
Currently the Federal government is moving towards taking control of our water resources with the support of the State Governments!
And the big question is why?
Simple, whenever the Federal Government takes control of an Australian entity it sells it off, even though the people own it, the government sells it off then claims they are good financial managers becuase of the billions made from the sales, eg telstra!
But to highlight how advanced the plans are to sell our water supplies, governments are preparing us for increases of 100% or more in our water prices.
Obvious that it is being prepared to gain the highest price from the biggest bidder.
Yet we see overseas the results of lack of water or probably more relevant the lack of money to purchase water. Yep selling our water off will make it more acceptable for our poor in this country to not be able to drink, shower or any other activity requiring water.
And then they die, and John Howard jumps up and down in joy becuase that is one less person he has to support becuase they died.
Sick Country we live in

Education sucks in Australia unless your rich
Sorry I haven't posted for a fair while. Been enjoying the kids company over the holidays and getting involved in voluntary activities to give back a little to the community so please forgive me.
One of the most important issues in the countries mental and economic health has to be education and with schools in queensland banning students from attending classes if their parents haven't been able to afford fees, we are seeing the result of not providing education to our poorest children with more and more drug use and people being put in jail.
Isnt it sad that our young kids cannot get an education in this country if their parents are struggling financially.
For example I get a DSP and my wife parenting payments which add up to just over $600 a week, take out $230 a week for rent (is going up shortly), we try and keep our food budget to just over $200 a week probably averages $230, then fuel to drop kids off and doctors appointments at around $80 a week, then there are medications at around whatever I can afford that is left, a specialist visit is around $160 a pop and massage and physio are well over $50 so I live in pain most of the time as it's obvious I cannot afford medical treatments.
Add rego, tyres, school fees and books and uniforms and you can see there is no way of affording to live in this country with any dignity or security, if you are unfortunate enough not to be able to work for whatever reason.
So for schools to ban kids from attending becuase their parents are poor is sooooo wrong and all it does is keep these kids in the cycle of poverty so the rich can become better off (yep the CEO's get more and more and company profits get greater and greater).
And then we see prisoners getting free education! Becuase they are poor a lot revert to crime and then get the education but if they had an education in the first place maybe we could stop a lot of them going to prison in the first place.
But that is the corrupt society we live in where the rich cry poor and the poor don't eat.

The Test the Unqualified Members/Fellows/Ch Fellows found too hard to take.
I've given safety presentations and training to all sectors of the working world, from Pollititions and Senior Executives of organisations to Line Managers, farmers and voluntary organisations and just about everyone variation in between.
Yet the hardest were always given in a classroom gaining qualifications and proving competence in front of my peers in safety, those I respect and admire the knowledge they have (my class mates and lecturers).
Those leading the Safety Insitute in the form of members, fellows and chartered fellows that are not qualified shouldn't be in those positions becuase of that one reason they haven't passed the toughest test there is and to answer questions from people that just want to learn just like you is an absolute priveledge they have missed out on besides the fact they haven't proven they are competent enough to be classed as professionals and therefore bring down the status of safety and it's recognition as a profession.

McDonald's Disgusting Example
I'm not getting into the debate about healthy eating and whether it's the companies responsibility how people eat or whether it's the consumer's choice, other than to say what happened to the precedent of buyer beware?
I want to highlight just how disgusting it treats it's employees at one particular store!
Late-night feed costs workers their jobs
10.01.2007
By TOBY WALKER
A LATE-night feast on free burgers cost a group of McDonald’s employees their jobs after the restaurant manager called in police.
Former counter employee Jessica Marie Mueller, 17, appeared in Caloundra Magistrates Court yesterday to face a stealing charge for giving away $15 worth of burgers and drinks.
Until last month Mueller had been a model employee, maintaining a spotless customer service record during her two years working at the Caloundra McDonald’s Family Restaurant.
But that changed on Saturday, December 9, as Mueller and her night shift colleagues began preparing to close for the night.
About 10.30pm a group of her friends who had been out drinking walked into the restaurant.
Among the group were her brother and a number of McDonald’s employees who were not rostered on that night.
They asked Mueller for something to eat and she handed them burgers from the display shelf along with some drinks.
Duty lawyer Donna Lucas explained Mueller had assumed the burgers would be thrown out at the impending end of the shift so saw no harm in giving them away.
So what morals are they teaching these kids??? To be relentless in the pursuit of profits and take no consideration of the person!!
How about understanding these are young people who's impression of employers is going to be moulded in these younger years and as the incident wouldn't have cost the organisation anything how about teaching them the power of understanding and teach them what is right and wrong??
Such a sad impression to leave on young lives no forgiveness and the only thing that matters is profits and power!
The damage this sort of irresponsible behaviour McDonalds has undertaken is one major reason we have such high incidence of drug abuse in our society, instead of understanding our young will make mistakes they believe they should be perfect! A great big pffffffffttttttttttt
How they expect anyone to believe they have people's best interests in regards to health is beyond me when they can't even recognise the importance of the young's mental health that work for them.
