Dear Belly,

Now you know that under that sweet exterior, Lexi in fact has
a filthy imagination :)

OK Lexi, well there is plenty of information available.
I have read most of the papers available from the various institutes
and universities. Upsalla Uni is where the ASPO is HQed.

Not to worry it will take time to sink in.

Belly said;
It plays NO ROLE in the World Economic crisis.

You are seeing it now, it was the cause of the GFC, and as they did
not realise it nothing they did had any effect as they applied
solutions for the wrong problem.

Yabby! if Lexi has not she is a rare human, just joking Lexi, but true too.
Now fellas, what bought about the GFC?
How long have we, all of us, wondered how long it would take, before the bottom fell out.
Greece has no sure way to make its residents pay tax, they do not.
It has much much more public servants per head of population than us.
Is Spain/Italy/Portugal/ Ireland/Great Briton/ list continues, are their problems about public service?
It must be so warming to have LABOR/UNIONS to blame for every thing yabby.
Those nice BHP people do build roads fund via tax a lot of things.
How dare! blind fools like me! say that once gone the minerals can not be replaced.
The hide of me! my government! trying to get some more for this country, your state.

*Is Spain/Italy/Portugal/ Ireland/Great Briton/ list continues, are their problems about public service?*

Indeed Belly, by joining the EU, the public service went CRAZY.
There are rules for everything and those rules need administering
and policing. They even had rules about cucumbers which are not
straight, being illegal.

The cost of all this administration is huge and the problem in
Europe is too much borrowing by Govts to pay too many costs.

Mr Barnett has already increased royalties for BHP, we don't
need the money to go to Canberra first, they only waste it on
more public servants. If we relied on Canberra for our roads,
they would still be gravel.

BHP pays around 45% of its profits in one form of tax or another.
When your Mr Rudd wanted to turn that into 58%, they rightly
protested. Why bother mining if the Govts wants nearly all the
profits?

Cut waste in Canberra, then we'll have better public services.

Dear Yabby,

I see that you took me seriously.
Good!
After all -
I wouldn't want you to think that I was facetious...

Dear Bazz,

If you've read most of the papers available from
the Institutions of Learning - you must be a
speed reader. I am impressed.

BTW: The correct spelling is - Uppsalla. ;-)
