I was sitting this morning with an old friend, a rather famous Irish song writer, who I wont name without his permission, but we were reflecting on the funny places we have lived and what we saw, and I think the one that made us laugh the most was how, in the land of the free and home of the brave, the MOST FREE NATION ON EARTH, with the best democracy etc. there is no party for the majority, there is no labour party, due to decades of overt political repression for the most part forgoten by the people here with their great schools and free press. I don't mean just mcCarthizm , but the whole picture the tens of thousands of internments, the palmer raids, the ruined lives, and the lesson that if you stick your head up, you get shot or jailed or beaten. Yup, Communist Bob, I like you keep comming home, not only because it is home, but because so much of the worlds problems begin here as they once began in England. The colony has become the coloniser, but we do it with a coke can and a child tied to a factory job in Asia, so the average Joe doesn't see or care. Welcome home Bob, stay active. Change will come or we will all die with the planet American capitolizm is killing.
