From where he is playing, my office is only 400 meters away which means I will be stuck in this crazy traffic for today and tommorow. Helicopters are hovering in the airspace just to get a good view for tv reporting. Cars throng the streets to get to the venue. Cops can be seen everywhere controlling traffic. It is like a major party going on. Nice!
Being paid close to $4 million bucks to play in an event like this....how lucky is Tiger! Then again...it is Tiger Woods we are talking about. If you offer him $40,000....he would rather sit at home watching his 100inch plasma, sipping his $20,000/bottle wine maybe...and sitting on his $50,000 couch.
So....this post is not about the game of golf. It is about people's attitude. People who are not happy that the Victorian government paid him to attend this event.
They think....that it is a waste of tax payer's money to splurge on things like that. That golf is a stupid man's game and is not worth any attention from anyone. And that their tax money is put to waste by inviting this high profile sportsman at a small sum of $4million (IMO).
See, what they think might be true....if their minds are only limited to within their skull. Oh come on! Get out of the skull you whinging group of ppl!....There is more to this than that $4million.
Think about the tourism we attract. The hotels that are fully booked out. The restaurants, shopping centres, small businesses, tourist attractions, Citilink! Eastlink!, the extra speeding/traffic light tickets, clubs, HOSPITALS (from drunken fights), ambulances (to bring them from clubs to the hospitals), air tickets, .....etc....etc......
And the list goes on.....when you add up the amount interstate visitors will spend while visiting Melbourne for the weekend! $4million is NOTHING! So stop complaining people. It is not the end of the world. You need to spend money to earn money. Stop criticising your government. There is a reason why they are the government and you are not!!!!....Stop telling them what to do coz they DO KNOW what to do! Otherwise VIctoria will be long gone since their appointment into the office. Leave the govenment alone.
Crime is escalating but everyone blames the government for not providing enough security. Think again! It is the citizens that are the cause of all these violence. YOU fought for so many human rights. YOU fought for all the rights everyone should get and hence the leniency of our justice system. If someone is sentenced too long, YOU complain. If someone is sentenced to death, YOou complain. SO what does the government do? they be kind to all criminals. 4 years for murder?? or 15 years for mass murder?
6 months probation and 1 year license suspension for drunk driving and causing the death of an innocent life?
Tell me now...who is going to be afraid of all these? Quanzilities says....put these rascals in jail for a long period of time...teach them a lesson...then these kids/adults will know the consequences of their (trying to be macho) attitude.
Yes I do not agree when the coppers fine me for speeding. But I am not completely against them if they treat everyone the same.
So fellow VIctorians....PLEASE stop being against the Mr. Brumby or Mr. Rudd. Let them do their job and we as citizens, just enjoy the peace we have in this place. At least you do not have to worry a missile is gonna land in your backyard while sleeping. Only worry is your fellow Victorian stabbing you while you are partying in a club. So go back, teach your kids some good behaviour. Remember, everything starts from the family! If you teach them right, they will behave.
For now, enjoy the golf match with Tiger yo!.
Weather looks good for the tournament today...muahahah
signing off now...ciao
