you said:
Instead, they came out like a pack of snarling hounds to attack those who dared question your proposal rather than to support or justify it.
colorful :) makes for interesting reading.
WHY AIM AT YOUNG PEOPLE ?
I think I can tell you.
Try this: Ask every young person behind the counter or at the checkout of a supermarket or in a hairdressing salon
"what is communism"..
Seriously.. try it.. and you will quickly understand why the Greens want to aim for the young.
The responses you will get are "errr.. haven't got a clue" in many variations.
Do they know who Al Gore is ? :) yep.. sure do.
You could try your one question quizz also as "Do you know what Socialism is" ?
Pretty much the same blank look.
Try THIS ONE.. "Do you know who Mao Tse Tung was" ?
or.. "Stalin"
or... "Pol Pot"
as "The man from Ironbark" described.. "Their eyes were dull, their heads were flat..they had no brains at all"..but these kids to have brains.. it's just that there is nothing other than MTV in them :)
Prime targets for Greens I'd say. Just use words like "Fairness..Inclusion... equality..Social Justice" and they are in the palm of the Green hand.
