Re: the ants marching across Australia.

Michael, are you using a computer to translate your words into English? If yes, try reverse translation to check if result is correct.

For example:
"There is a chasm in values between mass killers and people firmly adhering to the right to life." --> "Es gibt einen Abgrund in den Werten zwischen Massenmördern und den Leuten, die fest das Recht am Leben befolgen." --> "There is an abyss in the values between mass murderers and the people, who obey the right firmly alive."

This tells me that "right to life" may not be translating properly.

I suggest you write in a very simple way: Short sentences, simple adjectives and adverbs, no metaphors or idioms. This will improve my capacity to understand what you intend to say.

David,

I really appreciate your advice on English - if this word suits writings in Australia-published mess-media and this site in general.

This is definitely better topic for a native speaker you presumably are to discuss rather than for instance republican motion/western freedom applications as such deliberations need some creative mind and definite knowledgably sustained approaches unreachable, alike too many other intellectual things, for native products of a local colonial system even with local higher education degrees awarded.

As your respondent has a habit to spell-check messages before posting here, yours further traditionally linguistic insinuations might be forwarded to software authors directly.

Thank you for deploying my valuable time to delight you on issues.
