  The Hope For Our Dying Home-Earth...An Inconvenient Truth

  yesterday it was the day of the global inviroment.

  as i walked to the street going to work, the main square of the capitol was filled with small children and their teachers with huge paintings, songs, art work with recycled elements demanding a cleaner plannet.

  when the old generation will pass those little ones that will take in charge with all the inviromental education they had they will go for a better world.i'm sure about it, you could see it in their small eyes.

  Here in Australia we are in a very long drought. Ten years ago the global warming people predicted with gobal warming the rainfall would increase which is in fact correct because everytime without exception when there is an increase in temperature there is also an increase in rainfall.

  So why are we now in a drought and the global warming people are telling us the drought is from global warming? It seems to me every arguement is an arguement for global warming in some peoples minds.

  What size is Al Gore,s carbon footprint? A big one I imagine.

  Petrol is about $6.00 a US gallon here of $1.50 a litre. The US gallon is slightly less than an imperial gallon we used to use .

  When Paul Hogan used the word shrimp it was for the American market advertising tourism in Australia. By far the majority in Australia would use prawn just as our English friends do. The words we use here in Australia seem also close to South African.

  I had a great uncle who was shot while still in the water with his mates trying to take the beach at Gallipolly in Turkey. The site of the Anzac tradition.

  Bashir still spreading hatred of infidel Aussies

  i opened up the newspaper today and found the islamic cleric abu bakar bashir is urging his followers to 'beat up' infidel tourists in indonesia.

  he reffered to western tourists in bali as worms snakes and maggots,.

  it seems bashir has been emboldened by his release from prison after the 2002 bali bombings that killed approx 200 people .. bashir talked of a previous visit to australia during the sermon he claimed he wanted to see the beauty of the ocean but was told by a friend there there was one condition of a visit to the beach in australia he said if you enter that area you must be completely naked.. im just so outraged by this islamic rubbish.

  Hope, Bashir has been banned from entry to Australia for the last 6 years. Before that he made a number of visits here. The annoying part is he still represents a large muslim population in Indonesia and is respected by Muslims even in Australia..
