Guys
Strangely enough, in one of the worlds most free nations, "Freedom" is not a word that Australians talk about very much. Most people are more concerned with the football score, saying 'sorry' to the Aboriginals or saving the dolphins (from what I'm not so sure about).
Patriotism and freedom is NOT alive and well here.
I agree with John-Melb on the man of steel thing though, but jeez, look at his opposition, they make Karl Marx look like a right-winger!!
Not a huge choice of candidates to pick from when it comes to the shooting sports either I'm afraid. Anyone who actually has the courage to stand up for shooters rights or individual responsibility is immediately branded by the media as some kind of hick redneck fascist from deepest darkest Queensland.
Still, it ain't all bad. I'd rather live here than some of the other "civilised" countries.
At least I can still hunt, shoot, fish, drink beer and drive a noisey smokey V8 car that gets 1mpg (complete with whale skin hubcaps)without fear from the thought police, for the time being anyway
