.: Aidex '91

Over the last week, I am ashamed to say, I have been working on an international arms trade fair.

Right here in the middle of Sydney - at Darling Harbour.
Called the Pacific Maritime Expo, it didn't even seem to raise an eyebrow.

I wanted to walk out on the first day,

- walk out of an event that offends every one of the principles I so readily espouse.

But I found, in Sydney 2012, those principles are too expensive for people like me.
Living week to week, it seems I can no longer afford them.

Part of my soul has died.

It seemed none of my friends shared my outrage, as I ranted about the injustice, after my first day there.

Don't get passionate about something anymore, -you could be mistaken for a fanatic.

A terrorist.

Too gutless to try and sabotage the event when I had the chance.., as if I could..

Even if I knew how to make a bomb belt without killing myself [hard],

-and got it into the set up [easy],

I wouldn't come near to taking out any of the real scumbags,

I would have only taken out the contractors, working poor like me.

The whole thing was done low key, and at first we thought it was just a boat show,

But it soon became clear, this was a full on Naval Military Expo.

Drones, missiles, and surviellance bugs that look like jellyfish,

- the future is inhuman.

When I told the people around me what this event was really about
..all I got was blank stares.

No-one, it seemed, remembered AIDEX.
Over 20 years ago now.

I wasn't there, but I remember the response in the community.

a true hero and a creative inspiration.

.: Terra - not Terror

It seems the USA have just whacked their No 1 most wanted and it's all over the news. No doubt the head is now being mounted on a plaque in the oval office. It makes me think, maybe the new name of my website could be misinterpreted by zealous anti-terrorism agencies, webcrawling for signs if impending retribution.
Exciting as that may sound, I don't want to pay for a new front door because ASIO or the AFP have kicked it in,
So, just for the record:

I am not a terrorist.
I am a Terran.

Just to be clear, Terra is another word for this planet.
It is more commonly used  in other parts of the galaxy, but geeks and sci-fi buffs will often use it, [it is free of all the hippy connotations of 'Earth'].
If Terra is considered as a whole entity or organism, humans [and all biological life] would be defined as cells.
'Terra Cells Awaken' simply means, as a human, to become aware of your integral existence as part of a much larger being, your planet.
If you disagree with that, kindly fuck off to outer space.

So to be perfectly clear, this website has nothing to do with the late Mr bin Laden, or Islamic fundamentalism.
I am not a great fan of religious nut jobs at the best of times,
They all suck equally hard, although I think I would be a little happier if I heard the Phelps family of Westboro Baptist Church all got terminal butt cancer.
Yeah, that would a good day.
