You completely miss the point if you think I am complaining. The point is
that as we slip through one election after another with no other choices
than different colours and flavours of Fabian Socialism, the closer we slide
to communist dictatorship. If you have a look at the number of spoiled
ballots this time, you will find that a great many folks don't like the
choices either. Five hundred years of freedom since Magna Carta should not
be disposed of so readily. There is no freedom without economic freedom, and
there is precious little of that when ruled by extortionists. It is painful
to watch people throw liberty away for the sake of a few handouts paid for
with the larceny that has befallen them.
The Australian parliamentary system was intended to take the best parts of
two models; the Westminster and American systems. That has since degenerated
into a celebrity contest little different than Australian Idol. This last
election demonstrates this point as both major parties stooped to mud
slinging and muck raking, just like the Americans now do. No Colin, I am not
complaining about Australia. I am saying you blokes need to wake up and
smell the coffee before it is too late to do anything about it.
