Thanks - I'm in the Gold Coast, and Australia tends to do what America does, only about 25 years later. So by influencing Americans (if possible) I'm affecting what will happen here in 25 years - about the same time I'll be getting ready for the big sleep.
Thanks - My parents were British and we came to Oz when I was five, so more Australian, but without the strine accent. Aussies say, "You're not a real Aussie, are you?"
Yes, I had a fire and brimstone protestant minister grandfather, so my father was forced to study Latin and the bible back to front, which is why he took it easy on his kids. As a result we all grew up with science and politics instead of religion.
