Dear Paul,

Is the US a Christian country? I'd say yes.

It was in the US that we first heard the term WASP.
(White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant). And I think the US
has the largest Christian population in the world. Every
politician when making a speech will always finish with
"God Bless America!" And so on. God somehow always manages
to be a part of the conversation. There are so many churches.
And people will always use the terms - "God Bless!" and -
"It's God's Will!" You'll even see bumper stickers that
read - "In God we trust, everyone else pays cash!" and so on.

So there you are.

Hi Foxy,

My talks with Padre Pete are most enlightening. Despite all that "tongue in cheek" superficial clap trap about American christanity, I have to say Pete makes a compelling argument as to WHY America is NOT a Christian country, and I agree, whole heartedly. Pete actually shocked me with what he thinks of America, a 72 year old "conservative" Anglcan priest, and I thought I was the radical.

Dear Paul,

The America of today is certainly not the America
we experienced way back a couple of decades ago.
However, perhaps we just didn't see it. In any case
we saw enough to decide to come home and raise our
kids here.

Dear Paul,

You're going to laugh - on our return to OZ and much later
as the kids grew - we decided to send them to a private
well known Catholic school here in Melbourne.

On a parent and teacher evening we got to meet the Principal
who tried to pay me what he thought was a compliment by
telling me - that he was delighted to meet me because I was
not "your typical migrant." (like I got off the boat yesterday).
Whereas, there I was thinking - he was a typical Irish priest.
(smile).

Well, my husband and I voted yesterday. Early voters
had turned out in large numbers - which surprised me,
and there were so many people handing out leaflets.
It was very busy. Now we have to wait for the results.
I think it will be a close race from what I observed.
And there were a few candidates that seemed a bit odd.
Some went under the umbrella of "Independents," but
when you looked into their pros and cons - some of them
were bordering on the extreme. I hope that voters will
do their research on who they vote for.

Hi Foxy,

I have been made aware that Issy's "Gun Nut" mates from the 'Shooters and Hooters' Party, who for years have failed to make any decent inroads into Victorian politics, they have one MLC, but all his web site talks about is his passion for killing and wrecking cars. His biggest claim to fame is having children involved in "paintball", what a jerkoff! They are being deceptive by standing some so called "independents" this election.
