AVR-Chat

Hi
1. Yes, my suspicions are confirmed that gentlemen from the South of
US of A have a limited sense of humour and the slightest hint of
criticism sends makes their hair rise like a grizzly bear.
2. We in Australia are intensely proud that some of our ancestors gave
their lives to make sure people could vote and it is certainly not the
threat of a fine that pulls us to the voting booths. Our voting system
, as a result of these controls, is virtually impossible to rig.
Not so as was recently so easily done by a certain citizen of Texas
with hardly a whimper from citizens who's friends gave their lives for
their "freedom".
3. Luckily I am over 65 so I am exempt from the requirement of a
fishing licence. The fees from this licence are used manage our
pristine sensitive natural ocean environment, one that is now
virtually non existent in the north eastern coast of the Pacific Ocean.
Have fun
Ted
