“Over and over victims are blamed for their assaults. And when we imply that victims bring on their own fates - whether to make ourselves feel more efficacious or to make the world seem just - we prevent ourselves from taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves.

All else is surplusage, excrescence, adornment, luxury, or folly which can - and must - be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function.

Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly - and no doubt will keep trying.” TryingFirstsChildrenYoungPerfectDoubtMoralityProtectSurvivalUniversalFunctionFoundationMalesLuxuryPreservesNo DoubtFollyPrimePregnantNeverthelessEmergenciesKeep TryingYoung ChildrenIdealistDumpedPregnant WomenAdornmentPerfect Society Book:Time Enough for Love Source: Time Enough for Love
“If I could say something about Capricornia, and it came out in your previous report, there is no doubt that the end of the mining boom has led to an economic downturn in central Queensland, and that is why people in Capricornia, and elsewhere in central Queensland too, are so desperate for a government that will protect their jobs and create new opportunities for jobs in the future. And that is why [Malcolm] Turnbull government's message of jobs and growth and its six point economic plan is so important to them.” PeopleIfsImportantEndsGovernmentJobsOpportunityGrowthDoubtPlansEconomicProtectSixMessagesNo DoubtDesperateIf I CouldReportsElsewhereMiningNew OpportunityQueenslandDownturnEconomic Downturn Author:George Brandis
