Does this mean we get the dive boat to ourselves :)

Some people need to get out of the country, and I don't mean go to
tourist spots, and then take a good look around. When they come back,
they will realize we have it pretty damn good. We are not perfect, but
I haven't experienced perfection anywhere else, either.

And since when is politics not a hotbed of differing viewpoints, even
amongst ourselves? It gets presented like it is something brand new. I
suppose they have to put something in the papers, else there'd be
nothing to read.

Most people want to be able to feed and provide for their families,
enjoy their friends, their activities, maintain good health, and have a
safe, decent, clean place to live. Government promises "we will help
you do all that" then feeds itself first. It makes for an uneasy
relationship.

I have travelled a "Little".......and in my mind Oz comes pretty damm
close, when you think that they have only had a "government" for a little
over a hundred years what they have achieved is nothing short of
staggering.....
