Who's to blame…

Seems to be the game everyones playing recently, who's to blame for the power outages, who's to blame for the public transport delays, blah blah blah... Lets start with public transport, because most people seem to be talking about that lately!

Don't get me wrong, I hate Connex as much as the rest of you. Between those jerks with the badges around there necks walking around like they're all powerfull, the seemingly random delays, and not to mention that when the shit hits the fan and they do switch to buses, half the time the drivers don't know where to go! Even if they do the buses are always so loaded it feels like the damn thing is going to roll every time. It's amazing how many people Connex will jam into those damn things... So yes, I hate Connex just as much as you! But to blame them for the issues that have occured over the last few days, well, it's easy to blame them I suppose, because if you don't blame them who do you blame...

Let's face it people, it's been EXTREMELY hot the last few days, and what happens to stuff when it gets far hotter than it was designed to get, it breaks. Just like the tracks. The fact is that with todays technology the railway tracks will ALWAYS warp under extreme heat. Unless you people want to pay 50 bucks for a zone 1 2 hour and then maybe they can water cool the damn things. But the fact is, you don't, and you wouldn't, so you have to put up with it when they do warp, and, when they do, the trains obviously can't run on them. Not to mention the power problems that occured yesterday, that's not their fault either, nor is it anyone elses, it's just the heat people.

Of course there are the usual horror stories about replacement buses, and those shouldn't happen, but lets face it (this is strongly pointed in the Victorian Opposition and in the Victorian Media's direction) NOBODY IS TO BLAME. It's just one of those things people.

I suppose I've kind of covered the power already and it's much the same. It's not the governments fault that our power is out, for those of you that don't have power. The fact is, it's too hot, and  things have started to fail, get over it and get on with your lives. Also, to whichever news channel said that some poor little baby was turned away from a hospital for heat exhaustion. I'm sorry, if it had have been serious you wouldn't have been turned away. Not to mention, these places have backup power so their operation would not have been impeded to the point where a dying baby was turned away. And if the baby wasn't dying, just a little hot... I dunno... How about you GO HOME AND GIVE HIM A NICE COOL BATH!!! You live in the city, you still have water you moron...

So people, quit blaming for the public transport and power issues relating to the heat... It's a fact of life... Get over it... You could always live near delburn and have just had your house burnt down. When the power comes back on you'll still have your house... They won't... Oh btw, to those mates who have been blaming, this isn't meant personally... It's just my POV... Anyway I'm off to chew on some ice to try to stay cool...
