Summer Storm, Australia

 This summer in Victoria-an Australian state where island called Tasmania near touches a continent on small scale big geographic maps- so far looks much cooler than usual. Actually, since 2005 this picture of cooling-down warmest season has been repeated-a far cry from the heat of the nineties famous for apocalyptic visions of predicting the zero-reserve water reservoirs with all technical-economics consequences for “saving Australia” institutions involved. Skies surely do not know of advance carbon tax/price on carbon introduced locally might bring about to save a human world globally.   Well, life is going on pretending not so much happens in the air. 

Cold mornings have been followed by sun-radiated afternoons as a “no news is good news” seems to be a first victim of whatever oncoming inevitably.

When too much is too much

The Netherlands is going to abandon politics of multiculturalism as appeared from media 
As seen from Australia, multiculturalism itself was an invention used to covering traditional apartheid and segregation in the timing of the locally rising nationalist movements in the middle of the twentieth century to somehow keep formally independent colonies to be lashed with as influx of mostly ex-local-ethnic-elites sought refuge in metropoly.
One could say multiculturalism was never implemented on terms of equal opportunities (and might not be in places, where mateship and networking rule de–facto officially).
The USA, a Land of the Free, was and is surely right speaking of a “melting pot” as a targeted notion reflecting a mere reality of a grass-root acceptance of en masse arrivals pragmatically.
