Down Under View! (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
Great to have a Down Under view featured here--especially, yours!

Will be buying your book as soon as I'm home enough to receive it at my house, since it's all UPS and no post office option.

It looks really interesting!

I might not agree with all of your ideas, but there were plenty there that I did, and you discussed everything in a very intelligent and enlightening way, yet keeping it simple and man-on-the-street.

Furthermore, I could almost hear your wonderful accent in my head while reading this!

Why are we here? (Reply to this comment)

You said:

For some reason unknown we choose to come into the human form for a brief time

It's clear that we're here to drink beer!

In Heaven there is no beer--
That's why we drink it here!


As the Polish poet said!

Thanks for your interesting piece!

Regards,
Gavia

If I lived in Australia... (Reply to this comment)

I may have joined this write-off too. I can always respect any opinion and argue in a reasonable tone... whether they agree or disagree with me. Unfortunately the discourse in our country(USA) usually ends up in a loud screaming match with the loudest claiming victory.

I have not read any of the other entries but I would assume as you read the comments, you must wonder just what type of country we Americans live in. Peter, I apologize for us all.

I can understand politicizing trivial matters as a way to gain political advantage, but when it comes to the important matters(Security, economy, health) you would expect little debate should be necessary since we all should have the same goals and ambitions.

I am surprised (Reply to this comment)

that you even bothered. Your answers were enlightening for a non-resident of USA. These question prove nothing but gets everybodies view points and changes nothing. As I view all W/O's but I had to take the time to read yours.

I guess I should have taken a more global approach to this... Thank you for answering the questions you could!
