Good thread, Tev. I agree with much of what has been said so far.
In addition, and despite what the alarmist media would have us believe, this is still one of the wealthiest, most tolerant and most civilised countries on earth. You only have to travel abroad to appreciate these facts. I am no jingoist or xenophobe but there aren't many places I'd rather live. |
