Kaptain M:
I spent a lifetime in the same camp that you are in and I understand your expatriate mentality only too well. Your use of the word "dog" is in character and explains almost all. What it does not explain though is why you are where you are. Perhaps I can help you here by asking you to commit to memory the following short poem that was penned by G.M. Glaskin who happens to be a countryman of yours. Quote:
" Mine is a ratbag country
Difficult to endure
A nation of con-men and barmaids
Immersed in their own manure "
G.M. Glaskin is an author and writer who was born in Australia. He abandoned the country to live in Europe and he seems to understand why he did it. This leads me to ask the question why did you leave ???
KIFIS
P.S. If you wish I can give you the name of G.M. Glaskin book that contains the above and you can read more about what he has to say.
