The Show Must Go On and On and On and On and...?

Good god, who would have thought? It looks like the hippies of the 60s are still out and about getting their 15 minutes of fame! How dare they? Haven't we progressed from the 60s? Haven't we learned that people who speak ill of war shouldn't be allowed to express their views?
And so it goes on, this year and next, people putting others down for freedom of expression. During the Vietnam war era those darned hippies preaching their 'love not war' mantra, how dare they? did Jesus not say 'love thy enemy'? Oh wait, no, Jesus said 'hate thy enemy if they enemy is not a white christian with conservative views' at least thats what the damned fundamentalist christian pundits would have you believe.
I don't particularly like hearing morons speak as if they matter, morons being people like Pauline Hanson, or generelly anyone who works part time at a fish and chips store and still thinks politics is something doable.
Not that a fish and chips shop owner can't be a great politician, just that a politician is a whole different field, I d on't want my dentist to be a part time landscape artist, he's going to be drilling my teeth after all.
Having said that I have no problems with people from the everyday world getting together for a good old fashioned protest. Who doesn't want to protest something frustrating? The voice of one person who works at a fish and chips shop is random and pointless, the voice of say 1000 fish and chip shop workers means a lot more because its speaking in terms of crowds, its representing the community.
Which is why politicians speak on political matters, they represent their respective electorates. But what of the random individual moron?
Man, I don't care.
You shouldn't either.
Which means you shouldn't care about what I just wrote.
