Same. Pretty's all well and good but it's not what gets things happening. At second worst you're lumbered with a person for whom pretty's all they've got. At worst it's that and they've been rewarded for it they're entire life. That way lies Hell.
It's 3:12pm here. And I've hardly had any booze or caffeine since I left Oz. Weird. It just happened that way.
On the one hand I miss home, on the other all this travel really has illustrated to me just how juvenile Australia is. I mean juvenile in the age sense. Australia feels like it's just past toddler stage and behaves as such (and it's how the citizenry is treated by the government). The US is adolescent. Europe feels like it's in its mid-30s. I don't think any nation anywhere feels older than that to me.
But yeah, home. Fucking hell. I do wonder if we need to get invaded, just so what we take for granted is jeopardised badly enough that future maltreatment isn't tolerated. Just one of my theories. I have many.
David Barker is a disendorsed Liberal candidate who was dumped because he was insane. And he's running for the senate. He's a Small Business + Pensioner who hates muslims and doesn't think non-Christians should have a vote. His partner is probably from the same church. There is some horrid stuff about Barker online. I don't have the stomach.
Megan says yes, if Sweden is anything to go by. Also, our scrawny Scottish guide for the Alternative Berlin tour commented thus: "The *real* problem with Sweden is that every time I go I realise how profoundly unattractive I am".
I should get up to the rest of Scandewegia, I guess. But Swedish girls are a little too wholesome and healthy looking for me. I might stick to the Russians, despite their dress sense.
