I despair for where we are headed when I listen to the ramblings and psychobabble emanating from what my father used to refer to as the educated idiots, the intellectual elite who believe they know what is best for everybody without a crumb of common sense between them.
My generation (post war 'baby boomers') and subsequent never had to fight for our freedom let alone our existence and in the words of our much revered early Australian poet Henry Lawson 'rot in a deadly peace'.
I get the feeling that we are headed for a reality check.The dogs are barking but at this stage are just being yelled at to shut up.
Your (Canadian) Mark Steyn seems to have a clear perception of the issues as well as being entertaining. All is not lost.

ps In a not wholly unrelated issue, in recent times I've heard two reports of HMV owners being told by police to get rid of the axe carried on their vehicles. A pioneer rack with axe, shovel and pick handle may soon be looked upon by some do-gooders as a collection of weapons, not tools. We await developments.
