pwned.

The form we sent out was pretty clear. Portrait shot, face on, face and eyes unobscured. You know, like in a driver’s licence.

Poor old Miranda. It’s kind of funny how she’s all anti public service. I bet she was one of those far righers that thought the only legitimate people on the public teat were those that protected property – cops and the army. Everything else should be outsourced.

Then … the GFC came.

It’d be hilarious if it were not for all the normal people hurting. You know, people 100% unlike Miranda Devine.

For example, your dig at lawyers & judges: they’ll manage. Let’s not forget that our idea of juries originated in small country townships of England, where they didn’t need a big interweb to have heard the facts before the case was heard – everyone on the jury for Sam Smith o’ the High Street’s trial would’ve known the defendant, probably since birth.

I’m afraid there never was and never will be that elusive golden age…
