“We need to review the process for the election of Speaker. We've got to reform Question Time, which is really a waste of time. There are so many things that we need to do to reform our Parliament and I think it's bigger than that. It's all about the sort of leadership that people are getting at the moment. They're fed up with this sorta day-to-day bickering, not putting the national interest ahead of these narrow partisan interests.” PeopleThinkingNeedsMomentsProcessInterestWasteBiggerElectionReformFedsReviewsWasting TimeSpeakersDay To DayParliamentPartisansFed UpNational InterestsBickering Author:Richard Di Natale

“Someone once said that "The Waste Land" was a scum of poetry floating on a sea of footnotes. That resonated with me, because that's kind of what I was doing lyrically for a while. I was being very referential in a way. I would drop in these little phrases or ideas that were sort of portholes into a whole bigger realm of thought or whatever, that would work within the song, but that you could also poke through into a bigger discussion.” WayKindLittlesSaidIdeasWholeSongSeaLandWasteBiggerDiscussionPhrasesRealmsFloatingPokeScumFootnotesWaste Land Author:Ted Leo
“No one could argue with a straight face that the couples getting married today are much happier just because their wedding celebrations cost three times as much as those in 1980. Bigger mansions and costlier parties are wasteful in the same sense that larger antlers on all bull elk are wasteful. The good news is that simple changes in the tax system can eliminate much of this waste without having to deny people the right to decide for themselves how best to spend their money.” PeopleTodayFacesThreeSimplePartyCoupleCostTaxesWasteMarriedNewsBiggerDenyArguingCelebrationGood NewsThree TimesBullsGetting MarriedMansionsTax SystemStraight FaceElkAntlers Author:Robert H.

“There are some good things to be said about walking. Not many, but some. Walking takes longer, for example, than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed. I have a friend who's always in a hurry; he never gets anywhere. Walking makes the world much bigger and thus more interesting. You have time to observe the details. The utopian technologists foresee a future for us in which distance is annihilated... To be everywhere at once is to be nowhere forever, if you ask me.” IfsWorldSaidFormLife IsAsksInterestingKnownForeverExampleWalkingWasteBiggerDistanceGood ThingsDetailsSpeedAsk MeToo ShortUtopianCrawling Author:Edward Abbey
“Don't waste your time, do something worthwhile with it." But what can that mean: worthwhile? Finally to start realizing long-cherished wishes. To attack the error that there will always be time for it later....Take the long-dreamed-of trip, learn this language, read those books, buy yourself this jewelry, spend a night in that famous hotel. Don't miss out on yourself. Bigger things are also part of that: to give up the loathed profession, break out of a hated milieu. Do what contributes to making you more genuine, moves you closer to yourself.” GivingMeanLongBookMovingNightLanguageWishRealizingBreakMissingGiving UpWasteBiggerErrorsProfessionGenuineHatedHotelWorthwhileJewelryBreak OutDon't Waste Your TimeMilieu Author:Pascal Mercier
