Day to Day Politics: The year 2017 at home
“Our lives should be subject to constant reflection, otherwise the way forward is locked into the constraints of today’s thoughts.”John Lord
"As I write I reflect on the year 2017. I can only conclude that it is another wasted in the advancement of our nation. I try to think of things positive that I might share but I cannot.
I stop, hesitate, because marriage equality must surely go down as a magnificent victory for the people. I can’t even count how many pieces I wrote on the subject. Yes, it was a victory for the people, we did it in spite of the politicians not doing what they were elected to do.We showed what we are capable of doing when we turn our collective attention to the common good." John Lord
I thought I'd end 2017 with word of reflection attempting some truth that doesn't attempt to evoke hatred the hatred of difference that we happened to hear from Andrew Bolt ,the Herald Sun and News Corp all year round.
