A Society of Extreme Softness

The realist in me always knew that I would get old and start saying ‘back in my day.’ Manners and respect are two things that have fallen down and society is to blame. We, in Australia, call ourselves a multicultural nation. I call bullshit. We are a soft nation, scared of upsetting any non-Anglo Saxon group. I am far from racist but I am sick of the kit glove attitudes bestowed upon minorities. Yet as a tax payer and a quadriplegic, I have to nearly roll over broken glass for help. Hard not to be jealous of the ‘ease’ in which some get assistance whilst my 30 years of paying taxes and contributing to the community by working part time for the DoD count for nothing.
