I mentioned in an earlier post how cut off generation Xers were in Australia regarding sports and martial arts. Well, the same goes for pretty much all information. The library was not high on our list of places to be, and the Dewey Decimal System was like a foreign language. As I also mentioned in…

The average worker never seems able to keep up with inflation. Prices go up a lot, while their wages only go up a little, if they’re lucky. The mega-rich are getting giga-rich, and the middle class is slowly vanishing. Who were the ‘middle class’? Those people who were well-off but did not consider themselves rich.…

***Spoiler Alert*** Wow! What a brain twister! The mental gymnastics in this one are fantastic! Yet through brilliant storytelling sleight of hand, I think it holds, by the skin of its teeth, but it holds. Dirty Harry is back with his trusty .44 Magnum: ready and willing to put large calibre holes into anyone foolish…
