Steve C Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Who are the perpe-traitors? <under construction> developing story Take your pick! (Not the implement with a handle that is) They could be aligned or non-aligned. One thing is for certain however; they are mental cripples who are intellectually incapable and they present a serious menace to the very society they no doubt think they are preserving. They're probably the same twerps who used to ring up schools/TAFEs/Universities with bomb threats on a regular basis around the time of any tests or assignment due dates! The public very rarely gets to hear of how many of these threats are made, or of death threats to staff at about the same times, because it's been going on for absolute ages; and staff have guidelines for assessing the threats and whether they're serious enough to pass on to the Police or Fire Brigade. These imbeciles are quite prepared to create havoc in order to avoid something they find unfaceable. They have no idea of the concept of dealing with change. They are equally as dangerous to a peaceful and generally orderly society, regardless of which political flavour they profess allegiance to. It's the sort of behaviour which should be immediately condemned by all sides of politics and society. I'm not so sure that condemnation has been forthcoming from certain quarters as yet... hmmmm.
Aloysius Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Let's hope we find out who they were when they are arrested, charged, and found guilty. Any other way involves speculation.

They had no idea how to deal with it; but what was probably more interesting was how [nearly] everybody took it in their stride, whereas nowadays I suspect a bomb scare would be met with hysteria and panic.

Probably more likely to be ignored... It's a kind of 'numbness' effect generated by the number of drills educational institutions have been required to perform these days. At first; everyone does the right thing, and assembles at the designated safe zones for roll checks; but gradually the "it's only another pain in the arse drill that just reduces class time to the point of non-existence" attitude sets in. Can't say I blame anyone for feeling cheesed at turning up for a class/tutorial/lecture/whatever, only to have three quarters of it disappear up the spout waiting on some car park or playing field... and with all that expensive equipment sitting unattended in the classroom/theatrette/lab/studio... This whole McKew thing reminds me of the lame brained kids who'd hang around like flies on a stinking piece of freshly laid cable, who'd offer to do pretty well anything just to be 'welcomed' into the 'in' crowd. "What d'ya want for lunch? I'll go and buy it for you", or "That short, fat kid doesn't like you... I'll smack him up a bit if you want?" Sometimes these drones would go and do it anyway... which was really a mark of how much they just wanted to get their jollies off over something they'd built up in their own minds to be really exciting. Not every political leader has total control of their 'followers', but they do have the option to declare the most rabid elements to be 'excommunicates'. To not do so is tacit approval of the behaviour of rogue elements, for as long as the outcome of their totally reprehensible behaviour has the desired effect. The down side to expunging rabid elements as a politician is, that the expunged elements often turn on their former 'darlings'. I'm certainly looking forward to what develops out of this whole series of events, because the fight for Bennelong has only just begun! If these are the first shots - it's sure to be a ding-dong thriller.
