On Governmental Apologies - "All I am saying is that while there may be good reasons to resist apologizing, the we didn’t personally do it and those it was done to are dead reason isn’t one of them."

Voting Christianly

Given the State Election on the 24th, and looming Federal Election this year, I've found the below few articles quite interesting reading.

:: Shock News - I’m Christian and I Vote.
:: Why we must vote Christianly - and not just for the CDP (Sandy Grant)
:: Nothing New Under the Sun; [Byron's Blog], this post and the comments make for worthwhile reading.
:: Voting Christianly (John Dickson) [on the All Saints Petersham website]

this one is about mixed music…

So, I have been listening to a bit of new music, and felt like making a few mix CD’s, and at the same time thought that it might be interesting to hear what the readers are listening to.

I thought that we could try and make it interesting and nominate a mood (eg. fun, contemplative), theme (eg. home, spring) or style (eg. acoustic, live, loud) for the playlist. (Of course I'm open to suggestions here)

So if you are interested in being part of this leave a comment and I’ll arrange the details after a week or so depending on the level of interest.

Update

I’ve been thinking my way through the Copyright Act and 2006 Amendment. Given that under the law it seems we are able to make copies of CDs we own – I don’t think that there is a problem if I make a playlist for myself.

So I think we can each make a CD; then send it round the circle of people, and then return to the owner. Let me know if you are in under these slightly revised conditions.
