Government is about offering more Choice

Published on December 14, 2004 By Champas Socialist In Politics

Well here it is my loyal readers! I have finally reached my 69th article. I never thought I’d make it, but now that I have it’s undoubtedly time for some self-congratulation. This 69th article is a significant one because it is representative of what blogging is: I give pleasure to you through my articles, and you return it in the forums.

John Howard Offers More Choice
John Howard said during the election campaign that there was a difference in philosophy between Labor and Liberal over what the role of Government should be. John says that for the Libs, Government is about providing people with choice. I’m so glad we have as liberal minded a Prime Minister as Mr Howard. I don’t know what we’d do without him.

Thanks to John Howard we have the choice to pay money we don’t have for private health services or use insufficient public health services.

Thanks to John Howard Aborigines have the choice between living in cities or dying of preventable diseases.

Thanks to John Howard, gay people have the choice between believing that homosexuality is an affront to God or not getting any rights.

Thanks to John Howard we have the choice to seek higher education that will sink us into debt or to work in underpaid menial jobs.

Thanks to John Howard, refugees have the choice between staying home & being killed or coming here & being jailed.

Thanks to John Howard, workers have the choice between accepting poor working conditions & job insecurity or being unemployed.

And thanks to John Howard, we have the choice between Packer media and Murdoch media.

______
And now that I’ve reached my 69th article, I’d like to announce my temporary retirement in little Aussie blogger style: It is time for me to take a break just long enough for you to all come to my forums and tell me what a wonderful person I am and how much I will be missed. As you all fan my ego, you can watch it grow at www.narcissisistic_megalomaniac/uphimself/selfrighteous/egotist/
You can follow the links to see the race between my ego and John Howard’s as we battle for a place in the Guinness Book of Records. Once I’ve had enough praise to sustain me until the next election, I will return.

Are you really leaving Champus? Sorry to see you go if you are. A word of advice: Don't forget to grease down your head before going through doorways!

No, don't worry TBone, just a little shot at a few of my fellow bloggers who I hope don't take too much offence because I actually enjoy reading the bloggers who I'm taking the piss out of. Thanks for the concern.
