APEC Summit. Endulgence of Politicians or a necessary event?
What are your opinions on the APEC Summit?
My thought are these: That the over indulgence of politicians, the enormous waste of tax payers dollars is immoral. That it would have been far better to keep politicians in Canberra, here the city is already set out for such events. It seems to me that the excesses are truly immoral, these are public servants, and yet countless innocent people are being effected, loosing money and possibly jobs, and suffering countless inconveniences so that George Bush, John Howard, and other politicians can indulge their whims and egos, having harbour cruises, BBQS and pat a Koala and other animals taken from the zoo for their inconvenience to Garden Island.
This event has shown how blown out the egos of these politicians actually are, that instead of coming to discuss important topics like the environment and equality of all nations, with a consideration for wastage of resources and manpower, there is an expectation they be treated like royalty and their every whim indulged. If there is truly an 'axis if evil', one must question whether this event as it is presented now by John Howard is coming from higher energies or simply ingratiate himself in Bushes' Shadow and coming from darker energy. To me evil is the immorality of abuse, any abuse of power and use of resources to empower the self.
My hope is that a voter backlash reminds John Howard that he is a public servant so too all politicians that are on very shaky ground, and that arrogance and self promotion do not serve the greater good.
