Ooooooooo, that used to be dangerous talk in the 'Uncle Joh' years, DougR...

I remember working on the concept of a board game involving the infamous 'three is a crowd and thus an illegal demonstration' law - you had to get a certain number of protestors down George St, (avoiding being distracted by the many pubs) past the fat police seargent and to the State Parliament building...

Interestingly, one of my mother's relatives was the Lutheran Pastor (later on he became head of the Lutheran Church) who first taught Joh the basics of Public Speaking as a young man interested in politics...

I also went to Uni and became friends with John Sinclair - son of the man involved in FIDO and a certain infamous court case...

I consider myself extremely conservative (if it ain't broken, why 'fix' it? - e.g. selling Telstra, privatising banks already publicly owned, water, electricity services, etc) - the problem is that I find many of the attitudes of the alleged 'Political Conservatives' extremely narrow minded, short sighted, and blatantly and greedily selfish.
