Australia
Australia is not a sovereign nation.
It does not have a culture, a history, nor an indigenous people. Australia is a mining company.

Some Creatures Don't Change
I see the UK/US have started killing Gaddafi's children again to inspire him to react erratically. They've done this before, years ago, but it didnt make him crazy then. He knows exactly what they are like. A different side of the UK military than the one shown at the Royal Wedding, but still the same animal.

revolution
just thinking after a few hours discussion re the process of national revolution and the outcome of real national change on a family/personal level how few countries on earth have ever had to go through the essential changes implicit in the real nexus of continual revolution....the americans...the french...the russians and the chinese......some failed over time and some succeeded really, really well, but at least they all have tried, and always quite vigorously, and totally viciously. i guess things must have got pretty bad before normal people, usually focused on self, family and own meaning-love, got that upset. it's something that will never happen to Australia because we can't be that important to anyone in our situation and position, like Fiji, but still, i think we can appreciate what they have, all in common, overcome to be as proud as they are and as certain as they are as to how things should be for them. I understand america and china. france really doesnt matter. as it stands now, there's two massive world powers, america and china, one is really broke and one is really rich. We will let the historians decide the real moralities of epoch rise and fall.
