Society works, so get on board. Stop the bullshit, here are the real facts.
Society works – there are only two police on duty in Mullum, Bruns and Ocean Shores at any one time. We don’t need the police on every corner to stop all the bad guys doing bad stuff in our community or in Australia, America, UK, Bali, or Afghanistan.
Society works – people are living 20 years longer than 25 years ago, with a good quality old age and lifestyle.
Society works – our children are safe to roam and enjoy freedom if their parents would let them. There is not daily kidnapping of children, or any real danger to them in our community or the world over.
Society works – we have an epidemic and we all do the right thing, the government looks after everyone with money and concern for our health and wellbeing.
Yes, there are still needs and things to do in our community and the world. However, the whole world is doing better than it was 20 years ago. Most humans are good and want to help, and that is what is happening worldwide. We are so bloody lucky; I hope you can feel lucky after reading my thoughts.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
