Freedom baby, freedom! That's what we have by and large in the dear old land of Oz, Freedom from American cryptofascist bullshit, from the astounding arrogance and hubris from the 'one indispensible nation'.

I quote Joe Bageant from the introduction to the Australian edition of his book 'Deer Hunting with Jesus' - "We got the puritans, you got the convicts. I think you got the better deal."

WTF can a sane man think when the current master of war hangs a 'freedom medal' (sic) around the neck of Bob Dylan? Eh? Speak up catspaw, you turd... Anyone else? Sing along folks... "We're the cops of the world boys..." I met Phil Ochs and Ron Cobb in '72. I know of which I speak.
