FEARLESS TILTING
Here’s a first: behold the unique non-compassionate head tilt. Well done.
Brains trust and his mates will feel a little state terror when they get collared for fare evasion or putting their plates on the seat. A chunk of their personal profit will fly directly into state coffers, thereby fuelling state terror.

According to the last sentence, if they catch you without a ticket they’ll atomize you.

Posted by joe bagadonuts on 2005 07 08 at 08:08 AM • permalinkJono’s lovable ratbag (#1 above) is partly right.
Transfield is a major part of ADI (formerly Australian Defence Industries), who make armoured vehicles, anmmunition and explosives and command and control systems for Australia’s military forces. They are also a 50% partner in Yarra Trams in Melbourne.
But it is drawing a veeerrry long bow to equate paying a fare on a tram to to feeding the military industrial complex.
I marvel at these loonies and their tortured reasoning.Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2005 07 08 at 10:05 AM • permalinkTreacher links to more head tilts of the non-compassionate kind (well, most aren’t actually tilting their heads. But it’s good, anyway).

War is everywhere…
Melbourne’s trams are part of the war apparartus…
Fare evade and party against the war!
All of Melbourne’s trams are run by Yarra trams, a company owned by the Transfield corporation who manufacture and supply guns, tanks, helicopterS and all kinds of war machines to the Australian, US, Israeli and Indonesian militaries. Those who own Yarra Trams directly profit from war, militarism and state terror.
But Yarra Trams militarism is also experienced on the trams themselves with their every increasing regimes of policing and ticket inspecting, a regime that attempts to inforce their profit making through fear and atomization.
