Oxymorons? Hardies is just one example of my reasons for regarding 
business as organised crime. Some will undoubtedly say that's unfair 
generalisation, but I find it's accurate more often than not.

I'm coming to think it's a pity that we elect our governments. With the 
increasing sophistication of information 
manipulation/falsification/perversion, Democracy is beginning to look 
unworkable.

Monarchy looks more and more attractive. No mass of politicians to pay 
for, just a royal family and a bunch of advisers. Monarchs tend to stay 
on the job for life; no superannuation.

Republic be damned! Let's invite Will & Kate to take the throne of 
Australia. Or even Charlie & Camilla; Will & Kate could then take over 
in England when the queen exits the scene.

It's a plan.
