Pullock,
You are on a hiding to nothing here.
If you are a pro-howard, pro-bush, pro-iraq invasion, pro-lock up the refugees (queue jumpers!), burn as much oil in your jeep suburban, dig-it-up-and-ship-it-out economist, .... then you might get some sympathy from the more vocal neanderthal leanings of many of Jerry Springer set lurking this bandwidth.
Anything resembling a change in the Americastralian way of life...? Forget it.
Not to say there are not a majority of readers who do not agree with you.
