Writer's Block: It's allergies ... really!

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Ok, I didn't quite cry but I did choke up. Ever since my assault, I can't seem to cry properly. Anyway, I got teary-eyed from happiness at the after-election speech by Bob Brown. It gave me hope like nothing else has in a long time.

This is what I call "An Exercise in Extreme Futility."

So, I joined the local marine wildlife protection group online, and they have an automated "Send a message to your local MP". My local MP is Julie Bishop. Writing to her about protecting our waters is like asking a shark to protect the local seal population from devastation.

It's like asking McDonalds to caretake a "Let's Eat Healthy!" campaign.

It's like asking Darth Vader to look after the local Rebel Base. You catch my drift.

But I wrote a letter anyway. It's not abusive or anything, but I think it's fairly pointed. Will she listen? I doubt it. But it's worth a shot. Maybe if I annoy her enough, she'll do something. I mean, I can write to other members I *know* will make an attempt to do something, but it doesn't hurt to poke the shark every now and again, right?
