Okay. Am I sounding shrill? I just wish you were here to see what's happening, Kid. Aborigines, taking us to the World Court. The UN Human Rights Committee, demanding to inspect the refugee detention centres. Even the (R) SPCA, appealing to 'external powers' to ban hunting in Australia. Our sovereignity is eroding at a worrying rate. Cheers, B.
1. Let the aborigines open gambling casinos and don't tax them. The World Court people will come ask them why they dropped the case, and the aborigines will say 'We have the loosest slots in Ayers Rock! Don't forget to try the $1 shrimp cocktails in the Tiki Lounge! Have your joined our Golden Ticket club yet? It's the fastest way to earn comps!'
2. Let the UN inspect the refugee detention centers. Here in America, we dress our detainees up in blindfolds, earmuffs, ball-gags, orange jumpsuits, S&M bondage gear, oven mitts, and jello-filled fishing boots just to see the human rights people's expressions when they finally get a peek at them. A good Aussie solution would be to staff the aforementioned Aborigine casinos with busboys, maids, and cocktail waitresses. That solves your refugee problem.
3. Let the SPCA ban hunting. See how they like that law when you let a few hungry dingos out of your car near a Melbourne day-care center.
Think Judo, Byron. Not Karate.
Do Americans have to solve everyone's problems? ;-]
