Leopards won't change their spots and nor will the Libs change their mean ways. We've suffered them for the last 11 long, grinding, tortuous years. What a backward road that was. Every year forward in time was 5 years back in life until we got back to the 50s and beyond. Time to start gaining some ground again. Time now to see the light of the 21st century. Time to grow up socially, intellectually, spiritually. Time to be humane once again. Time to cast away the grotesque notion that we are bits of an economy and not members of the human race. Time to love this small planet. Time to give liars the flick. Time to shed the bonds of slavery to the greedy, dollar-hungry mongrels. Time to say a hearty guilt-free or envy-free 'hello' to your neighbours. Time to put a bigger, thicker wall between religion and politics. Time for John Howard and his motley crew of thieves and pirates to walk the plank.
