Asdf,

Ah well nothing last for ever.We will probably go down faster due to the fact our population is all in the cities so everyone will get hit at once.

Also I beleive a lot of the problem mentally with the west is the recent information explosion.

In that all things are now the same thing and all places the same place which is going to set up a 'cabin fever' situation.

The US should resist the next phase(yeah I know real aldous huxley sounding shit)longer due to its varied demographics.Like a cellular organisation.As you said some areas are still okay.



Karl.

how far south of Melbourne can you get before you run out of mainland ???? I assume he's not going to Tassie

Karl,



Some of that crap is already here in the US. Sorry to say, you folks are catching up with US silliness. Much of what you describe can already be found in some of the US states. Wait until your lawyers start running amok; I've read it's begun down there, but I'm sure you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Ah well, you guys started down the path to the Nanny State in a different way. You began with socialist medicine and then moved to roping off swimming holes. The US is going about it the other way around -- the swimming holes have been roped for years and socialist medicine is coming.



BAW,



I'll be living south of Melbourne. What city are you in? I'll be sure to let you know when I'm in your area.
