where are we going with this

I have been in the Kenmore area since 1961, with a dairy farm opposite, pineapples growing on a hill above, neons and penny turtles in the creek, and lots of trees and greenery all around. A trotting training facility where the ambulance station now is, and the old produce agency nearby. 
A wonderful rural suburb to live in, and a nice area for families. One thing however, most of the yards were small, most of the homes were small, too, and I doubt that many of the garages were large enough to park too many V8 Mercs in. They were mainly large enough to take vehicles like my 1987 4 cylinder Mazda. Come to think of it, in all the years I have been here, I have only ever seen 1 V8 Merc, and that was a 1939 Grosser. A lovely vehicle, owned by an enthusiast. The care that frighten me are the four wheel drives taking kids to and from school, and doing the shopping after the afternoon school pick-up. There are far more 4WD's on the roads than V8 Mercs. 
 
I am trying to have a stir, I admit that, but, in as much a non-abrasive fashion as possible. 
 
There are lots of other things to talk about, like why do election promises cover 5 or 10 year periods? I thought a term was for 3 years. What plans are there for water storage, and the transfer of that water from one site to another? Not just for south east Queensland, but for Australia. For a nation that built the Snowey Scheme, what have we done since? A couple more for the mix. 
Once again, let us keep abrasion out of this and try to have a little couth and decorum, if we can.
