Learn the Cole technique for relaxation and comfort by Henry Lebovic.

Hmmm, some really useful tips there! ;)

And I think it's great that everyone involved in the Australian Wheat Board thing, from the government to company executives, all have the same excuse. "I knew nothing/didn't see that/hadn't heard about it/I didn't know." Consistency being such an important thing... *ahem*

All of this is soooooooooo like Bart Simpson's "I didn't do it" line that suddenly becomes what everyone says when they do something wrong, even though they know they've done something bad.

The 4 Corners report on the AWB/Cole Inquiry/Federal government involvement thing with illegal kickbacks paid to the Iraqi regiem is on at the moment. Although I've been finding it highly frustrating (dishonesty is always disgusting), it's more disappointing than anything else.

Disappointing that lies are more important than the truth. Disappointing that money wins out over people's lives. Disappointing that Australian wheat farmers and Iraqi civilians are being screwed out of things. Disappointing that the government willfully ignored (perhaps participated in it anyways??) evidence that said that the AWB was doing a variety of illegal things. Disappointing that so many things were going against UN sanctions and the government happily ignored it all.

*sigh*
