Following the overturning of Roe v Wade on 24th of June 2022, it is interesting to reflect on the history of abortion law through history.

There are basically two systems of law in the world, the common law and civil law.

The common law arose in England following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It was so known because it was “common" to the King's courts and was based upon the precedence of previous judicial decisions, known as the Latin doctrine of“stare decisis"(to stand by that which is decided).

Over three years ago, the great Barry Humphries was punished for speaking his mind. The “ Barry Award “, given to the outstanding comedian of the year at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, was given a name change. It is now known as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award.

Apparently, Barry Humphries is too offensive these days. Like Ricky Gervais.

A friend of mine was looking after her grandson for three weeks while his Mum and Dad were away overseas.

She retrieved the slow cooker from the back of the pantry and started cooking hearty one-pot wonders for her growing 10-year-old grandson.  Every couple of days, we would get an email with a photo of the young chap sitting at the kitchen table with a rather ample plate of food in front of him. 

Oh to turn the clock back to happier times .   Today you could get arrested for sharing a drink or using a plastic straw. `

Fortunately, all that social distancing nonsense is over. No masks.    

Life these days is ridiculous though, isn't it? . 

I grew up in a time when love and romance were in the air and flirtation was fun.    Children played and laughed and explored life.    Life was lived in a world of hard work and enjoyment of the simple things. We hugged and embraced, blew out birthday candles, danced cheek to cheek and whispered sweet nothings in each other's ears. 

During an open public hearing of the FDA, Sam Dodson, an electrical engineer called them out for doing “nothing” with the “massive safety signals,” colluding with pharmaceutical companies to suppress trial data for 75 years, ignoring fraudulent data, ignoring adverse events like myocarditis and prion diseases and ignoring issues with infertility.

The FDA unanimously approved COVID jabs for 6-month-olds anyway.

What the hell do I have to do to wake up from this nightmare? Gay Pride MONTH? Seriously? 1/12^th of a year dedicated to people who want to boldly go where no man should ever go? Sorry, Star Trek, but Captain Kirk would never have navigated to the Gay Galaxy.

Sometimes, you just have to say no. Enough. I am all out of sympathy, all out of hugs and all out of embraces for men who do not want to be a blokie bloke. 

Gay Pride Month is, in my very not humble opinion, a month too long.
