    Leunig functions with the same mentality as people who step over bodies in the street without even looking down .........someone elses problem.


    'As for the men who refused the way of violence, there appears to be little cultural recognition or consciousness of those who rejected jingoism and the call to homicide, but who served their country well for an entire lifetime in creative, constructive and unglorified ways that are immeasurable. Like so many other groups and other types, it is possible that they have been cold-shouldered out of the official, heroic version of the national story. Yet their lives and their efforts may have contributed more to what is valuable in the Australian identity than we care to contemplate"

    Of course hes referring to himself ....how humble...lolol

    Edward Gibbon, a historian, once said of the downfall of the Greek civilization:


    "In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all—security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free."

    And the classic end result..............a lipsticked Belmore in bicycle pants.
