Don't give up on hope. Today is the anniversary of an unfair fight which changed the world forever. The Battle of Karbala in 680 AD pitted a caravan of 110 being slaughtered by some thirty thousand. The thirty thousand were following the established but illegitimate rule of Yazidi. Husayn ibn Ali was a descendent of Mohammed and a son of Fatimah, Mohammed's daughter who was the only one to survive to adulthood. Yazidi was the son of a usurper whom had promised to not promote his son. But the guy with all the men won. Husayn had had a six month old son who was also beheaded following the battle. It is said by some that an angel intervened and replaced Husayn with another. The result of the battle is the schism between Sunni and Shia.
Tony Abbott has spoken brilliantly and at length in London on Climate change. But pigs with their snouts in a $100 trillion trough can't see the truths spoken. Milo has owned channel 10 abusers who labeled him a pedophile advocate. So Channel 10 assembled a panel to discuss him, without him, the next morning, throwing around the same abuse.
However the prize of the day goes to the Age which published an article claiming inequity for disabled kids in private schools getting too much public money. The Age did not say the children, or their guardians, were investing the money wisely. They don't receive the money at all. The money goes to education bodies, not the schools. So the Age is campaigning against disabled kids getting their educational needs met. The Age has not said it, but an alternative is to nationalise private schools. It would lower academic standards and make resources more scarce for everyone. But then the government could seize the assets of those who once sent children to private schools. That would be fair, right? For those who do not know, what the funding does is provide for disabled students so they can be mainstreamed, and so not cost as much to the public purse.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
