So, This Happened
Late on Thursday night I got up to go to the bathroom. I had been sick for two days and had probably become dehydrated, which contributed to my potassium levels dropping and therefore low blood pressure. When I stood up it was lights out. I woke up face down on

Another Stunning Tale of Canine Loyalty
The loyalty of dogs can be legendary. Most of us will have grown up with stories like Greyfriar’s Bobby and Lassie. More recently the story of Hachiko, the Akita who waited at Shibuya Station in Tokyo, every day, for 10 years after his master died, earned him an eventual

‘I Think (Hamas) Are Doing a Good Job’
If you needed no other argument against lowering the voting age — in fact, if you want an argument for raising the voting age — you need only look at Melbourne yesterday. It was like a scene out of Triumph of the Will, with keffiyehs in place of brown shirts. Hundreds of
Should’ve Just Paid the Rainbow Serpent First
With hindsight, the Hindmarsh Bridge affair should have been seen at the time for what it was: a test case of Enlightenment rationalism against primitive tribal superstition. Alas, even then, Australia’s media-political chattering classes were all gaga for a bit of oogabooga. So the primitive tribal superstitions won. For

As Thomas Sowell said, “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong”. It’s even worse when those same people are given license to keep on
