[Pil-pc-oceania] FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS

[permaculture at apollobay.org.au]

There were discussions at the recent Community Gardens Conference of
starting a Garden  (Political) Party.  I don't think that it's
ridiculous... it seems logical to me... and someone has gone to the effort
to actually start climbing the tree, rather than just talking about
climbing the tree. 
Cheers!
Fern
PS. I'd vote for Fern (the kitten)too, if I had a choice between her and
Johnny.

While the two party system we have now - plus a few minor parties just to 
keep it interesting - is not ideal, but at least we know who is who in the 
zoo.

Fortunately, there is supposedly a separation between church and state - 
otherwise we might have ten political parties representing the major 
religions.

If the permaculturists climb a tree and start their own political party,
why 
not a bio-dynamic party, an organic party, a gardening for pleasure party, 
an asparagus growers party, a wheat growers party - then move into the 
community, and every large hobby or sporting group could have a party.

Then there are animal welfare parties, the list is endless.  Mind you,
there 
is a Vote for Fern party in the Benelong electorate.   Fern is a mildly 
retarded ginger kitten rescued by Cat Rescue [ an off-shoot of WLPA].  She 
is standing against John Howard on the platform of mandatory desexing.  She 
has her own posters and website!  But this is a political 'stunt'.  No one 
expects to have a litter tray in Canberra.
