You know, I have slagged off the city a lot, kicking against the pricks (Derridarians) of flavourless development till my feet have bled, but every so often there’s a sign that saving the traditional can go along with new development. A mint VHS copy of Lethal Weapon 2 on a pole next to an emerging carpark on the Swan. It hits every spot. And with Mel Gibson’s car seen around town lately, then maybe it can turn out OK after all. Thanks to Hendo. The VHS kinda looks like it’s crucified on that pole.

That blog contains so many valid points, Snuff, that a old fella like me glows with a faint hope for the future of humanity.
The final line: “It’s good to talk with real people to get real opinions, instead of what the media forces down our throats.” highlights one of the greatest dangers that we have to deal with.
A capacity for adjusting one’s firmly heal opinions to the appearance of new, factual, information, and understanding the lack of need for most of our material “necessities”, maybe the ultimate saviour for us all.
This young chap only needs to come to terms with the reality that there is a tiny minority that will dedicate its very existence to preventing that ever happening.
Unfortunately, at present, that minority has the majority of us completely brainwashed.

the rest of central and south America regards Argentinians in the same way that Europeans view Germans – rich, opinionated, arrogant and humourless, which is why Carlos expects to be treated poorly when he travels. The stereotype seem to be born out by Carlos’ self-absorbed and chuckle-free blog.

Point taken, but to be fair, Carlos doesn’t put it quite that bluntly.
p.s. Paul Toohey adds a little more context here.

It staggers me that Carlos skims over segregation of Aboriginal folks in a sentence and it double staggers me that Toohey doesn’t even mention it.

Many Australians are racist, certainly, but far less so than many of those who vociferously complain about racism.
Same goes for religious freedom: “We insist on being free to practice our own religion – one which insists that the whole world does so too.”
