Hello Again, For todays blogs I have no solutions only observations............. Firstly I have noticed on the news about the distribution of food aid in African countries how there is only x amount of food to feed this lady and her 10 children etc.......... Well the first thing I would note, is that no matter what the country unless one is very rich one would need aid to feed from externally in order to feed 10 children. People in the west where food is readily available have the sense (on the whole) to limit the number of children they have to what they figure they can feasibly and reasonably provide a reasonable standard of living for. So the question is why does feeding an African family mean feeding 10 children - don't the African parents consider what they will be able to provide when they consider how many children to have?? If its a matter of contraception not being available to these families maybe that is where the west should be concentrating its efforts otherwise come ...

Watching what has been happening in American Politics over the last week is starting to give me that ill foreboding I had when it became apparent Georgie Dumbass Bush was going to be elected. At first I was a bit ambivalent between Obama and McCain, because I thought McCain was not your standard head up his arse looking for the sun republican, but was actually an honourable man and the election would really have been a case of the best man winning. Well McCain has given up all his principles and is using emotion, pride and one sentence sound-bytes to attract or scare the lowest common denominator of American (the dumb majority) into voting for him. I honestly thought McCain wouldn't stoop to that - he knows full well Obama isn't suggesting surrender or failure in Iraq and yet he keeps saying that, in the same breath he says he will fix Afghanistan when the Joint Chief of Staffs himself has said the only place to get troops for Afghanistan from is Iraq. This is what Obama is ...

Hello once again, This time I thought I would give my ideas on how to solve the low rate of people signing up to be organ donors. The first part of my blog will be common knowledge to all those in Australia, but may be of interest to people in America and other countries and sets the premise for my idea on a solution. In Australia health insurance is regulated such that no matter what one persons likelihood of needing medical care is they will not pay more for health insurance than somebody whose likelihood was much less - due to say a condition such as diabetes, or schizophrenia etc.........., until recently it also did not matter what age one was either - the law simply was that everybody paid the same for health insurance, with the only proviso being that one had to wait a year before the health insurance company had to pay towards the treatment of a pre-existing condition. However, the last government came up with a great idea - basically for every year past thirty one delayed ...

This blog is to publicise an idea I had that would reduce mortgage insurance for a large proportion of first home buyers. I have forwarded this idea to Arch Bevis my local Labour MP, but he just sent me back a letter saying that the government was spending $1.2 Billion here and $500 million there etc......... and did not address this idea at all. So I will explain it quickly to you, then include the letter I sent to my local labour member and hopefully if enough people see this and promote it maybe it will happen. Firstly: At present a first home buyer can have no deposit, but provided they have somebody (typically a relative/parent) prepared to go guarantor for 20% of the value they do not have to pay mortgage insurance. NOTE: This money does not have to be provided as the deposit, they can still borrow 100% somebody just has to go guarantor so no actual money has to change hands............. Secondly: Nowadays people tend to have been in the workforce for some considerable time ...

Hello Internet World and WELCOME to "insidecarlscranium" At this stage I have had a friend create this page and don't know if anybody will ever read or see it, but I intend to post my thoughts and philosophies about this world, how its run, whats right, whats wrong, HOW TO FIX IT, etc....... not details of what I did today. As I come across something in the course of my life, or on the news etc........ and think it worthy of sharing with all of you (a bit presumptive I know.....) I will do so. At this stage I would like to kind of define some of my underlying beliefs, so that when you read my rants that may appear incredibly politically incorrect, or WORSE, you will hopefully have some understanding of me and so will not misinterpret my comments as those of a rascist, fascist, anarchist, or any other "cist". So Firstly - I do not believe some races are superior or inferior to other races, but I think it silly not to acknowledge that different races are ...
