We have and I agree with almost all of what you say.

I am a bit tired of the Cuffes, Trumbulls, whatsisname from BHP, and the other one from BHP/Billiton, Turnbulls, Adler, Rich and the rest of the band et al of this world who either trash companies or do very little in the way of "adding value" and walk away with an obscenely large pocket of cash, leaving the shareholders to pick up the pieces and/or the workers to go on the dole.

I would be seriously disappointed and filled with despair were it to prove that Howard is telling lies and in the pocket of big business.

I know power corrupts etc.stc, but I do, or did, not put him in the same league as Hawke or Keating.

"Twould be enough to go find me old "cockade", renovate the family guillotine and get me to the barricades.
