The Crown represents the people, and in Australia is formaly represented by the Governor General who signs all Legislation and Laws formed and approved by our Government. We are ruled not by a Monarch but by a Government who forms our Laws. Currently we have a minority Government dictated to by the Greens on issues like Carbon taxes etc, for which the People did not vote.

All the nonsense talk about the snobbery of the Queen is irelavent as snobbery is more unjust among many of our Politicians, who take vows to serve the people but are in Government to serve their own agendas.

BELLY/quote..""A heaven that asked me""

heaven asks nothing mr bell
it serves us...like a monarc should
jesus said who will lead you must serve you
not serve..*only the elites adgendas

""to sit at the feet of Jesus,"'
thats just baulderdash[cccccrap]
sure its an image..but a wrong image

""his Dad"'

no we dont sit by his feet either
so why should be bow and scrape low..to a 'queen',

why should we vacate the enjoyment of our river..just cause she wants to boat..[who made her my boss..]

she is my servant..not visaversa

""..and not sneak out the back for a Bundy."'

yeah i will miss booze
but the only reason they dont got booze
is because fruit juice dont rot in heaven

[thus jesus statement..to drink only new whine]
cause fruit dont rot..[in heaven]

""Not watch and remember
as a nice woman..pases by.""

in heaven there is no need to remember
only to love..that delightfull woman on your arm..

""Mate a never ending life?""
yes life never ending..not death

mate many of us are dead..here...
[lol looking remembering..lol]

""of total boredom?""

mate every second is filled
doing what we want to do

being with..who we chose to be
doing..what we chose to do

""I gave and gave till it hurt.""

and each gift of giving..has its harvest..manyfold
so much so..many never seek to return to here

even then a few try to return..and even their wish is granted

""So forgive me but I can not return"'

nothing to forgive ol china plate

""to your path""

lol we each have our own path

there is only the way[tao]
..as we each chose to progress
or regress..along the same path,way tao

""am happy to be me.""

Wobbles I must have one, I find yours quite good, now you have chosen to show it.

However, even though Gillard must be the easiest person to hate, currently on earth, I really can't manage such a strong emotion for her.

Sure I hate almost everything she does & stands for, but actually I despise her, she really is not worth the effort of hating.

Dear Hasbeen,

I think you've got to big a heart to hate
anyone.

Thank you Lexi.

I can't imagine actually hating anyone, which perhaps indicates I've had a relative easy life. I am a little dismayed at the rampant hate we sometimes see on our TV screens, but if you haven't lived those peoples lives, it makes it hard to understand where that can come from.

I'm sure you have never hated anyone. Even if you do hate some peoples actions, that is quite different to hating them personally.

Dear Hasbeen,

I've disliked a few people quite intensely -
and then realised that it was hurting me
more than them. Also, as I get older I
find that we've all got our own stories
and reasons for our behaviour.

The more we learn what makes certain people tick -
the better we understand them. (Even pollies) ;-)
I guess.
