Your bananas are all belong to me, now
lol Thanks for proving my point!!
What we have now is NOT the best that we (societaly nor as individuals) can do. But, hey it's the best of what we have. Yeah, Australians can email the shack in the nullanulla but the inept STILL don't listen and are more interested in popularity contests. Mind you I have been struggling for 30 years to get ASIO to remember that I prefer WHITE underwear...do they listen?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Freedom is something YOU take. "I'm going to end my life cos of mitigating circumstances" (i.e. I have a terminal illness and living a half life is untenable to me-is one example)
Freedom is also a state of mind. The thing that bothers me most is that we have gummints the world over instigating laws to 'make us safe' when all that seems to be happening is that otherwise inoffensive persons are being persecuted. the REAL culprits go on committing their rights to "freedom" (a minority group to be sure) while the rest of us a restricted in our movements and our options.
Best if you don't come to Queensland then....Aussies are rather fond of our banannas....(Bananna Republic here we come?? lol)
