I studied Latin for ten years at high school and then Melbourne University in an era when the classics mattered more than now. Vergil was one of my personal favourites. I still love the way his ancient words are woven together.
That time of Latin poetry was very different to what the political rubbish heap onto my love of language now.
In my modern life, under the misandry of the Socialist Left police state of Victoria in Southeast Australia, actions like lobbying a politician for WW2 commemoration, looking at a window and asking a young woman to obey the laws of the land can get me into trouble with the police and treated like a criminal in the courts.
Australia does not have protection of basic rights as strong as the American Bill of Rights. Without a new social contract, this nation will be low hanging fruit for China, if the growing Chinese economic dominance ever gets translated into the capacity to look at this continent of 25 million people as a place for some of China’s 1.4 billion people.
I pray to the merciful loving power of the Almighty heavenly father that American power survives and is not forced to retreat from the alliance with Australia which defeated totalitarianism in 1945.
I pray that the righteous peace and freedom celebrated so brilliantly in SOTU 2020 can survive in Western nations.
