election day

I get a news letter from Alan Kohler financial writer because I am playing the ASX stockmarket game again and then you get it free for a while. I think they are may be the news of the future but I am too mean to subscribe so maybe they are not the future, there is enough free reading out there and you already pay internet time. I think the internet providers should pay the content providers because why would anyone use the internet without content. Anyway all this goes on with the money gods above us. He said he thought the election had been really interesting, well dramatic yes but interesting no, being told what you know is lies is not interesting. 

We walked to the polling booth so combining our walk and our voting, we voted Greens which will make a difference if they get a few in the senate. There were 2 ads in the papers about private schools urging people not to vote green and health funds doing the same, more than enough reason for me. This town always gets a labor person in except the year the unions were angry with the labour party and backed a green candidate. I dont understand through why those old lines exist through do people really vote because some stupid union tells them so. I think they vote their personal interest, well thats not always true either. The future is the problem its unpredictability. Fleets of public servants try to predict policy outcomes but almost everything has its good and bad side. At least the future is interesting.  

I have one principle  I never do opinion polls and I think everyone else should not do them and then see what the politicians try to double guess us, ha.
