Reviewing the situation-1

I note that in January 2011 I alluded to the continual politcial round of leaks and "information"; but in retrospect Media Mike was telling us what a fantastic Premier and in 2014 we would all be thanking him.
I note that as of October he is Premier no longer.
It has been a year of natural disasters (here and here....and more (too many more) to begin to note them.
I suppose it is ever so. One of the things that always gets to me is that in this media mad world we get a disproportionate sense of these awful events. That is, if someone happens to have snapped footage on their iPhone then it makes it on to the news, in the meantime ferries capsize in obscure parts of the world....and scant attention is paid to it.
