Decisions made in 2009 and before can now be hopefully realised.

At last my new SHED will be erected, much to my wifes delight.
Much more content on my blogs & ham sites.
On the NEWS front
The issue of immigration and population growth has arisen again.
Australia can support and SHOULD have a population in excess of 50 million.
Many countries around the world have much greater population without the benefit of the available area, resources and infrastructure.
Another Indian man has been attacked and has been fatally wounded. The young hooligans that did this are complete and utter fools. Rascism is a mindless action, perpetrated by those among us with single digit IQ’s
We are all immigrants or their descendants in Australia.
Yes even the Aboriginals migrated here 40,000 years ago. IF anyone does not like the presence of any ethnic group or cultural activity, they can always leave.
The Australian Equivalent of the Old-time Comedy Theatre, Federal Parliament, has a NEW Opposition Leader, Tony ABBOTT.
Wasn’t there once a Comedy Duo called Abbott and Costello? I can remember that the Liberal Party once had a Leader called Peter Costello!
What happened to Malcolm Turnbull, the Pseudo-liberal, with almost Laboresque Ideals? He got shafted by the most ruthless and cut-throat band of assassins the world has ever seen; The Liberal Party conservatives. His environmental Concerns and desire for an Emission trading scheme was honourable and correct except for the hidden agenda of his interests in various forestry operations in the Pacific Islands.
Tony Abbott will not contest the next Election as Opposition leader, as he is no Leader, he is only a Care-Taker that won because no one wanted Joe Hockey as leader. The liberal front-bencher that I tip as the next leader to contest an election will be Senate leader Nick Minchin. My personal choice for the Liberal that should be leader is Wilson Tuckey, he at least says what he means, a rare characteristic in politics,
So the Traveston DAM on the Mary RIVER in Queensland will not now go-ahead. Peter Garrett, the Australian Federal Minister for burning beds and Funny Dances has over-ruled Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. I love LABOR politicians when they squabble.
I have finally decided to engage in further studies. I enrolled in Bachelor of General studies offered by Griffith University and OUA. The Open University Australia (OUA) is a collection of traditional universities that work together to provide an online facility offering great degree level courses. The 2 initial subjects I have enrolled in are PAC11 (Globalisation in Asia Pacific) and Modern Mandarin 1A.
I got all my Study Period 1 (Semester) Modern Mandarin materials yesterday . There is a lot of learning, but it is nothing I can not handle. When I feel confident enogh with the language I may start a few Chinese language posts.
Another new month is here. There was several major decisions reached and acted upon in October.
I was first licensed as an Amateur Radio Operator in 1982. Back in 2003 due to various reasons, mainly personal, I let my license lapse. On October 12th, I was granted a new Advanced Class Australian Callsign: VK4ARJ. Further details on my new Hamblog Vk4arj.com.
BareFootTech has traded for a little over 5 years as a Sole Trader. It has now come time to separate Barefoottech business from my personal sites and activities. So from Mid-November, Barefoottech sites will be transitioned to a new Company structure and ownership. Full Details will listed in a separate Blog posting when completed.
I had the the pleasure to stay a couple nights at a lovely little caravan park on the NSW Tweed Coast. Wooyung Motel and Caravan park is an Old Style caravan park with lot’s of great features, but not high prices. Only a short distance from the Ocean and MILES of clean uncrowded beaches. It is ideal for a quiet family time. Highly recommended by myself and the family.
I have decided to merge 2 of my blogs Dogablog.com.au is now Merged with this blog. This decision maybe reversed at some stage but at present I don’t have the time or inclination to do both blogs. The only blogs I will be updating on a regular basis will be this one and blog.barefoottech.com.au. The best blog by far for traffic has been Decisions.
I recently read about a decision by the FTC that amateur bloggers need to declare all payments and gifts recieved for blog postings. I have on occasions done some paid blogging for a few dollars. This has never been profitable (So far) , the hosting costs far exceed any income.
However if ANY COMPANIES wish to send me any laptops, MP3 players, Flat-screen TV’s , I am more than willing to start accepting payola on occasions for an honest review. A nice Acer Laptop or 42in LCD TV would be good.
The main trouble with American politics is not the politicians. It is the AMERICAN PEOPLE, they continue to elect Wealthy IDIOTS, Ex-Actors and Supposed Football heroes instead of people with ability.
American People are also to blame for your abysmal education system, Egocentric attitudes that AMERICA is always the Biggest, Best, Brashest doesn’t help. It is time to realise that USA needs to actually be taught some home truths.
Newsflash
Not all Americans have a GOOD education.
Not all Americans have a GOOD job.
Not all Americans have good health care.
Not all Americans get a FAIR deal from idiotic governments.
America has a MASSIVE National DEBT. It is far from being the wealthiest country.
America does not need to meddle in international politics, when it has no effective internal political structure.
BUT the Biggest Home TRUTH.
AMERICA is not the BOSS of the WORLD.
USA is NOT the only country in the world.
In 1776 Americans rose up in revolution to fight the oppressive political system and control of the IDIOTS (British Monarchy) in control at that time.
Now the only thing Americans do is whinge on the internet via blogs, forums and chatrooms or listen to idiot TV/RADIO shows like Larry King. Instead join a politic party or interest group. Be proactive not complacent. Remember the famous Abraham Lincoln speech at Gettysburg does not mention POLITICIANS
Quote:
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth
