But being American, mythbusters completely missed the point. Why would anyone WANT to immigrate from Canada to the USA? It's a bit like wanting an AWA!! Stuart
Homer, "We need a doer, not a thinker, someone who'll act and not think about the consequences" At the conclusion of the scene, he, Moe, Barney, Apu, Chief Wiggum and the Sea Captain form a vigilante group...
It would be nice, wouldn't it? The last stations built here in Victoria were all based on German technology. About the only home grown bits would be the steel that was used to build the boilers and the structures to hold them. Australia has never been a world leader when it comes to manufacturing, or inventing and exporting technology. And it never will be. Howard's hero, Bob Menzies put paid to that. After the war he decreed that we can live off the sheep's back and insisted that all technolgy be imported from the UK. That we don't need to make anything ourselves. If we didn't have shitloads of valuable dirt, then we WOULD be a third world country in its entirety, instead of being one with a first world standard of living.
So denial ain't just a river in Egypt now eh? What with all this revision? Did I accidentally stumble across the keystone to the whole Iraq-invasion deck-of-cards or something? What's the big problem with acknowledging the Government's stated reason for attacking Iraq? If you admit remembering it was WMDs do all the righties throw you out of the club or something?
Awww come on Clem, don't tell me that Joh wouldn't even let Redgum be sold in QLD ? http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php?hid=wecBsZWTTIw= (live version) http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php?hid=sirX8v3CUq4= JL (same album as "I was only 19")
Arrgh! No John; I don't know much Redgum (apart from the aforementioned "A walk in the light green".) Thanks for the answer.
Sorry Martin. You are so very wrong (with the inventing technology bit). The problem is once it has been made a proven, no bugger will back it and it has to go overseas to make it worthwhile _or_ mainstream. Hammo
