Hi Armchair Critic,

I'm surprised that you were not aware that in Chinese culture
red is traditionally an auspicious colour that
represents joy and celebration and is widely used in festivals
and special events such as weddings. Hence Senator Wong's
choice of it.

It may interest
you to know that wearing red wedding dresses has been a Chinese
wedding tradition since the Ming Dynasty over 650 years ago.

Armchair Critic,

I do my research before posting.

I had assumed you did the same.

As for Senator Wong's wedding?

I guess that we should not be so concerned or judgemental.
It's something that is her business = we shouldn't make it
our burden. What happens in her private life is not a
matter for public debate - unless she chooses to share it
with us. And even this time, she kept things to a minimum
for the public to know. It was a private affair only for
her family and close friends.

I just happened to want to show how times had changed in this
country and I was very happy for her.

I was hoping that this discussion would engage in
coversations about the state of Australia and the
future of what we collectively and individually hoped
to build.

I was confident that the issues we explored
would resonate and help provide better connections
and understandings from people with lived experiences
and also those with worldviews from
different backgrounds. This was an attempt to explore
different viewpoints.

I have a lot on my plate at the moment. So for that
reason I'm out.

See you all on another discussion soon.

Hi Foxy,
I think I may have put my foot in it in my last comment.
I foolishly only read half your comment before I started tapping out my response
Anyhow, thanks for providing the extra info.

Hi Folks,

.With Easter just around the corner
here's another perspective
on the Easter Bunny:

When I was just a tiny tot
There's quite a lot that I forgot
There is one thing I won't forget
The Easter Bunny who made me fret

It happened as I do recall
At my local shopping mall
A bunny grabbed me in surprise
Right before my parent's eyes

He scared the wits right out of me
He covered my eyes so I couldn't see
Mum did her best to calm me down
To make me smile instead of frown

Mum laughed and tried to make it funny
But to me he was a scary bunny
And being grabbed by this unknown
I screamed and wanted to go home

This should be a warning to all parents
Little kids are so easily scared
They shouldn't be put into situations
For which they're really not prepared

Whether it's with an old bloke called Santa
Or a big-toothed rabbit with large ears
If the kids don't know these odd-looking creatures
Being grabbed will raise their fears

So please remember, come December
Not all Santa's mean a lot
Little kids are far, far, happier
With the presents that they've got

And each Easter do not fuss
A giant rabbit 's not a plus
But a chocolate one that's dark and sweet
Will always be a favourite treat!

HAPPY EASTER
I'M HERE TO SAY -
HAVE A REALLY LOVELY DAY!

Fortunately, Passover is not about bunnies or Chocolates, but about salvation.
