Yesterday’s Cory Bernardi’s “Dose of Common Sense” e-news contained an interesting observation from one of his friends. It stirred my monkey mind as I grapple with evolving into a human. I abbreviate it for you:

“…..Americans don’t trust government because their nation was founded by people who were fleeing from government persecution of their religious beliefs. In Australia, the government doesn’t trust the people because it was founded as a colony to detain convicts transported here as punishment for wrongdoing….”. This reminded me of another remark from an Australian to an American: “Hey, our founding fathers had great convictions too! Just different kinds.”

Gibber! Gibber!
