I’ve taken a while to reply – Judith just keeps turning this damned registration crap on and off like a light switch. Very, very IRRITATING – I will not ever hold my privacy hostage to In Your Face, Twithead and other adolescent muckups …
@ Peter Lang
I do not think politicians (Ministers) are necessarily stupid – I do think, and I’ve had as much contact with them as you say you’ve had, that they become cynical abusers of power. Faustino (Cunningham) ran this same straw man as you on a similar comment I had made earlier
Running straw men against me is just insulting. If I were to return the favour, I’d wonder why Aus policies are still as messy, or even worse, after decades of advice from you – but I’d never say that out loud
Of course I understand what you are trying to do. I am suggesting that in your earlier posts you may have naively underestimated your opposition. You appear to have rectified that now.
I’ve evolved from that. Trying to “edumacate” the general public on non-linear, complex science/mathstats issues is a game with no hope of a win. Trying to imprint a base for grasping what base load means may have some traction (I hope), but my considerable experience says that most people do NOT understand what loss of reliable base load power really entails; a blackout for a few hours or a day or so is the hard limit to their experiences and they simply cannot extrapolate this beyond a very short timescale
Lunacy awaits us …
