Doherty - Truth and Nutters

Scene setting:

It's a cold room, heaters attempt to bring warmth, only reaching the few nearest.
Wooden folding patio chairs are squeezed together closer than economy airline seats.
The roof is mouldy, behind the black stage curtains the walls decay.

Warmth is brought by the audience.
Not just by collective bodies, but by the atmosphere they produce.
All those minds oozing thoughts, even in the silence you can hear them.
All eyes intently staring at the stage, shuffling heads try to glimps Doherty.
He is the incandescent mothership.

The event [and audience]:

Not to insult any religious people.
We're just monkey's with big brains.
[Laughter]

I'm not fair to economists.
Or politians.
[Laughter]

Engineers are not scientists, and scientists are not engineers.
Malcolm Roberts should take note.
[Jots down the usefulness of Google scholar]

Trump.
Main supporters poorly educated white males.
Oh dear.
[The collective sigh of agreement and understanding of what low education and socioeconomic status mean in the western world today]

5 minute pause - Fear of Trump being President of the United States distracts me.

The markets have no interest in human beings.
The markets have interest in money.
[Heads bob in concurrence]

Reality can not be denied.
Public relations can not take presidence over reality.
You have to deal with reality.
No news flash, but then again the truth often isn't news worthy.

I'm a scientist, I'm around peculiarly people all the time.
[Laughter]

[Applause]

Introductory post.

Hello Dear Reader,

My name is Chalice and I live with my husband Dominic, my father-in-law Dex, our Siberian Husky, Buddy and Greyhound, Sophie. We live in Suburbia in the north of Melbourne, something which I have come to love, and detest at the same time.

Dominic, Buddy, Sophie and me out for a walk.

This blog will be my share space. I will share my thoughts, feelings, stories and an assortment of bits and bobs I think are worthy of more internet space. I hope you enjoy looking through what I have to share.

Chal xx
