Hi Foxy

My parents read The Australian avidly for decades. This was when it was deeply pro-Aboriginal but still very conservative in most other respects.

So I agree. Political extremists on OLO threads choose to see life in black and white - like their idol Trump. ie. they obsess about the so-called Left rather than being more sophisticated in seeing each person as having a wide range of viewpoints, depending on the situation.

BTW I've started a new forum thread on this very News Exhaustion topic. It says simply:

"With the Bondi Junction and Wakeley Church stabbings, these few days have been tragic, tense and rough, even for people far from Sydney.

How do you feel?"

and is at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=10380

Thanks Mavs,

I feel goddam awful. As if insanity now prevails.

I just hope that things will stabilize, not worsen.

I want calmness to come back to us all.

My father would turn over in his grave.
Foxy,
Well, it's up to you to let him rest in peace !

There's so much we as a society have to learn.
Foxy,
Learning is not the problem, not thinking is !

Political extremists
Maverick,
If you're aware of it then why for crying out loud are you still a raving Leftie ?
