Well MAY MAY I suspect you really wish to be accepted amongst this august group of realists and pragmatists. Trouble is you've neither the necessary efficacy nor the tenability in the college of life, upon which admission requires ? Or are you simply among the other pallid, inane members of the confused 'Left' all of whom are too busy attempting to secure their next taxpayer funded allowance ?

Ahh, now the Andrew Bolt worshipers are resorting to name calling. O sung wu just revealed a lot about "himself" (and he didn't even realise it). Thanks o sung wu.

Gee MAY MAY - you're repartee is so razor sharp eh ? I thought I was most complimentary about you, so there you go, one should realise you can never please a LEFTY, otherwise than by greasing their sweaty little plams with taxpayer's money.

Ahh, even more name calling. What an intellect.

"Why it is today, some people having been caught in circumstances that clearly reflect some guilt - after the dust had settled, seemed to be elevated to almost hero status ?"

It's tradition: Spartacus, Robin Hood, Ned Kelly....

o sung wu,
You are really on your bike old mate. Forget these crass underdone social misfits that only crawl out from under the rocks when it suita them.
Remember Kipling and his immortal "If"
or the big "D"..."Go gentle into the night"
Rest you heart and mind. These people will worry themselves into the mire of their pettiness.
You and I and a few others here did our 'BIT'
Leave it and "go gentle into the night..."
