People I have just received this email - author unknown - and in my view what a great email it is because not only are the younger generation blaming us oldies for the state and health of our planet but there are many middle aged - 35 - 45 years old - having a go as well and I believe this email puts the problem fair and square where it belongs!! and by comparison it sure ain't with us oldies!!!!!!
Mike Howe - scroll down and read on and learn!!

Checking out at the supermarket, the young cashier
suggested to the much older woman, that she should
bring her own grocery bags because Plastic bags
weren't good for the environment.

The woman apologised and explained, "We didn't
have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days."

The young cashier responded, "That's our problem
today - your generation did not care enough to save
our environment for future generations."

She was right -- our generation didn't have the 'green
thing' in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, lemonade bottles
and beer bottles to the shop. The shop sent them
back to the plant to be washed and sterilised and
refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over.
So they really were recycled.

But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.

Grocery shops bagged our groceries in brown paper
bags, that we re-used for numerous things, most
memorable besides household bags for rubbish, was
the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our
schoolbooks.
This was to ensure that public property (the books
provided for our use by the school), was not defaced
by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalise
our books on the brown paper bags.

But too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.

We walked up stairs, because we didn't have a lift in
every supermarket, shop and office building. We
walked to the local shop and didn't climb into a 300
horsepower machine every time we had to go half a
mile.

But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in
our day.

Back then, we washed the baby's Terry Towel nappies
because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried
clothes on a line, not in an energy- gobbling machine
burning up 3 kilowatts wind and solar power really did
dry our clothes back in our early days.
Kids had hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or
sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

But that young lady is right; we didn't have the
"green thing" back in our day.

Back then, we had one radio or TV in the house
- not a TV in every room and the TV had a small
screen the size of a big handkerchief (remember
them?), not a screen the size of Scotland In the
kitchen.
We blended and stirred by hand because we didn't
have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail,
we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it,
not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then,
we didn't fire up an engine and burn petrol just to cut
the lawn. We pushed the mower that ran on human
power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to
go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate
on electricity.

But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back
then.

We drank from a tap or fountain when we were thirsty
instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we
had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink
instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor
blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole
razor just because the blade got dull.

But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.

Back then, people took the bus and kids rode their
bikes to school or walked instead of turning their
Mums into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's
£50,000 People Carrier which cost the same as a
whole house did before the "green thing."
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire
bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances and we
didn't need a computerised gadget to receive a signal
beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in
order to find the nearest Pub!

But isn't it sad that the current generation laments
how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't
have the "green thing" back then?

Please forward this on to another selfish old person
who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart arse
young person...

We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't
take much to piss us off...especially from a tattooed,
multiple pierced smartarse who can't work out the
change without the cash register telling them how
much it is!
Here endeth the bloody lesson!

Teflon Bill Shorten.
Subject: " Teflon Bill Shorten & Union Corruption "
People considering that Teflon Bill Shorten maintained that the current Trade Union Royal Commission was just an Abbott coalition witch hunt and is in denial about the importance and the need for the Royal Commission and is just a waste of Tax Payers funds/money ?? will Teflon Bill declare the Aussie equivalent of the USA’s – if we had one??
The definition by Free Dictionary.com – The Fifth Amendment.
Quote:
Fifth Amendment. n. An amendment to the Constitution of the United States, ratified in 1791, that deals with the rights of accused criminals by providing due process of law, forbidding double jeopardy, and stating that no person may be forced to testify as a witness against himself or herself.
Unquote.
Therefore when the final Commissioners Report is produced and “ Draw a line under it ” Teflon Bill refuses to discuss it with the Aussie population as he did when he was accused of the heinous crime of raping a (16) year old girl back in the 1980’s at a Labor Party Youth Camp in Victoria where he was not found innocent by a court of law but the Victorian Prosecutor believed that the police case presented to him would in all probability not result in a successful conviction?
Therefore as the Royal Commission is not a properly constituted court of law as such and all this revealing and significant evidence of Union thuggery and corruption being presented to the Commissioner is therefore unproven and untested in a court of law will Teflon Bill Shorten “ Draw a line ” under the Commissioners findings and refuse to discuss that as well ??.
To state that Teflon Bill was and is a very powerful and influential person as a Union leader and as the Federal Labor Opposition Leader would by far be a gross understatement in any ones language especially within the Union and Labor movement because in fact it was the Union vote combined with the rank and file Labor Party members that got him over the line and elected as the Federal Labor Party Opposition Leader last year in 2013 as compared to the other challenger Antony Albanese who won more rank and file votes and less Union but the Union vote was weighted some what enabling Teflon Bill to win after the Labor Parties devastating defeat in the September 2013 Federal Election.

Antony Albanese.
Therefore surely it would beggar belief and be far too extraordinary for the average Aussie to believe that all this – or even part of Commissioners findings whether unproven or otherwise – was not known to Teflon Bill Shorten??.
If not then surely the question should be asked? WHY NOT?? especially as Teflon Bill wants to be the next PM of this great country and if as a Union Leader you don’t know what is going on in the Union community what chance has Teflon Bill got presiding over 22 – 23 million Aussies with an estimated (2) trillion dollar economy??.
In my view after extensive dealings with Unions and their leaders he wont cope because Union Leaders have only the DNA for causing trouble not solving it!! 
Ok people I have not long ago received the following from Shane Dowling of the Kangaroo Court Publications which I find very interesting reading so?what do you reckon?.
However if your happy to cruise along “ She’ll be right mate ” it doesn’t effect me and some time down the track you find that you become unwittingly embroiled in some political and/or Union corruption scandal don’t whinge you deserve it!!!.

The current Trade Union Royal Commission
 
 

THE BILL SHORTEN CREW STALKS AND HARASSES WITNESSES AND JOURNALISTS AT THE TRADE UNION ROYAL COMMISSION

Below is photographic evidence of Bill Shorten and his crew stalking and harassing witnesses and journalists at the Trade Union Royal Commission. It is explosive evidence given the photograph was used for the criminal offence of attempting to intimidate a witness and it leads straight back to Bill Shorten who wants to be Prime Minister of this country.
Background
The Trade Union Royal Commission into Governance and Corruption has been conducting public hearings since May 2014, mostly in Sydney. In August it held hearings into the Health Services Union Victoria Number 1 Branch (HSU). The hearings were held in Sydney.
During the course of the hearings, as the photographs show, someone has been stalking the witnesses and others outside the building and taking photographs. The photographs were passed on to Bill Shortens good friend Andrew Landeryou who has used them to harass witnesses and others online.
The pictures were taken without the knowledge of the people in them which includes me, Leonie Flynn who gave evidence again on Friday as a witness at the RC regarding the Health Services Union and HSU member Sue Hay. Leonie Flynn is on sick leave because of work related stress and has made complaints to the Fair Work Commission regarding bullying at her workplace by HSU Victoria #1 branch Secretary Diana Asmar and General Manager Kimberley Kitching. While Asmar and Kitching deny the bullying it is Kitching’s husband Andrew Landeryou who has stalked and harassed Leonie Flynn and others online, including last Friday. Landeryou’s treatment of Leonie Flynn is clearly a type of bullying which supports Flynn’s complaint to the Fair Work Commission and Royal Commission.

(The names and location on the picture were added by someone, maybe the person who took the photo, Andrew Casey, or maybe Landeryou)
No one can justify the above photos and others like it that Bill Shorten’s crew have taken while stalking people for the purposes of harassment and intimidation.
Andrew Casey – Union Troll and Royal Commission Stalker

Andrew Casey – Union Troll
It is almost certain that Andrew Casey is the one who took the above photo of me, Sue Hay and Leonie Flynn and others like it and then gave them to Andrew Landeryou to use for harassment. I base this assumption on some very powerful evidence. Mr Casey claims to be an independent journalist but “worked for nearly a decade at the ACTU, during the Kelty Accord years” and “has worked for a variety of unions in communications roles – the CFMEU, the LHMU (now United Voice), the AWU and the ANMF.” (Click here to read moreMr Casey has spent a lot of time over the last couple of days defending the CFMEU so he must be back on their payroll at the very least.
Some of the evidence
1. Andrew Casey was previously caught stalking and trying to take a photograph of me. This happened in May when Ralph Blewitt gave evidence. I was standing outside the Royal Commission building and I turned to my right and there was Mr Casey trying to take my photo. I asked him what he was doing and he said he wanted a photo of me for a story. He knew who I was but never bothered asking until I noticed him.
2. Andrew Casey jumped to Andrew Landeryou’s defence last Tuesday (16/9/14) in the media room in Melbourne. I was talking to someone in regards to Mr Landeryou stealing millions from the Melbourne University Union and Andrew Casey said aggressively words to the effect “I would watch what I say about that if I was you”. What I was saying has previously been well reported in the media (Click here to readand it is not for any journalist to tell another journalist what they can and cannot say in the media room.
3. Mr Casey has continued to support and chat to Mr Landeryou on twitter even though Mr Landeryou has been clearly trying to intimidate witnesses with slanderous and defamatory comments. Mr Landeryou uses two Twitter accounts @landeryou and @HSUcorruption and Mr Casey supports both of them by re-tweeting some of the comments.
4. The stalking photos were taken in Sydney most likely on the 26th of August and Mr Casey is the only likely person other than maybe Peter Wicks. But given Casey has previous form on the board it is highly likely him.
Mr Casey is one of those sleazes that get around in the media room pretending he is everyone friends while stabbing people in the back as soon as he gets the chance. There is further evidence but that is plenty at the moment. Mr Casey should consult a lawyer and fast as he might be joining Michael Williamson and others in jail very soon.
Trolling the media room at the Royal Commission
The media room at the Royal Commission has been trolled by Andrew Casey and Craig Thomson’s puppet Peter Wicks. They get around telling anyone one who will listen that it is all Kathy Jackson’s fault and she is the real problem and how hard done by convicted thief and former politician Craig Thomson is. Both at various times have aggressively defended the sleaze and smear campaign of Bill Shorten’s boy Andrew Landeryou and push the union/Labor Party line hard. When the hearings are in Sydney they always sit next to each other in the media room. When a new journalist walks in they latch onto them and start dribbling on the propaganda to them such as “Kathy Jackson stole millions, Craig Thomson only got done for $28,000″ Wicks and Casey will tell them.
Peter Wicks is the person who harassed and stalked Fairfax Media journalist Kate McClymont in 2012 and put a picture of her house and address on the internet for writing a story about Craig Thomson. Peter Wicks also demanded that Ms McClymont give back her Walkley Award for her story on Craig Thomson. Ms McClymont was forced to get her lawyer involved before the sleazy Peter Wicks would take her address and a picture of her house down from the internet. It was clearly designed to intimidate Kate McClymont.
Mr Wicks is also the nutter that called the police in 2012 after I wrote about him harassing and stalking Kathy Jackson’s 11 year-old son and 16-year-old-daughter in 2012. For example Mr Wicks wrote online in relation to Jackson’s 16-year-old daughter “hope mummy remembers how many candles to put on the cake, as she may occasionally forget these things“. That is not journalism, it is just a nutter and sleaze like Peter Wicks stalking and harassing. (Click here to read more)
Bill Shorten and the unions do everything they can to undermine the the Royal Commission then say it is a waste of money.
Andrew Landeryou – Bill Shorten’s boy and friend of Andrew Bolt (Click here to read the previous post)
Fraudster and conman Landeryou uses pictures on Twitter, including the one above taken by Mr Casey, and then makes slanderous and defamatory comments below the pictures. One is calling people, including me, paedophiles.
It is worth noting that Bill Shorten is accused of raping a 16-year-old girl, which I have written about extensively, and Mr Landeryou spent 6 months on the run from authorities in Costa Rica in 2004/05 which is a known paedophile tourist destination. (Click here to read moreI think Mr Landeryou and his trip to Costa Rica is something the Federal Police should take a closer look at.
Andrew Landeryou is also using stolen pictures of children from Facebook accounts of HSU members in his Tweets on Twitter. One I am told is a 15-year-old girl and another is a 5-year-old-girl. Bill Shorten needs to make a public statement regarding his close relationship with Andrew Landeryou.
The more that is revealed about Bill Shorten’s character and past the more disturbing it becomes. I wrote about Shorten intimidating witnesses at the Royal Commission a month ago and he still keeps doing it. So he clearly has contempt for the law. (Click here to read more)
What this post shows is that Mr Shorten is still a union man and acts in the same corrupt and deceptive way like he did when he was working at the union as Secretary of the AWU. Using the union game of intimidation and threats is still very much in Mr Shorten’s bag of tricks which he is using now at the Royal Commission via his trolls.
Diana and David Asmar, Kimberley Kitching, Andrew Landeryou and crew are not people with high IQ’s. They are just dummies for people like Shorten who are higher up the chain to use for the dirty work. But these are the people that Shorten will give cushy jobs if he is elected Prime Minister which is a worry
