What a load of bulldust! What about all the allied lives that were saved 
by this action.

The unfortunate price of a democracy is that we have to put up with this 
  drivel.

If you lived in Iraq with these sentiments, it would only be temporary. 
You probably wouldn't live long enough to finish your e-mail.

And before you fall out of your tree, just as i have to put up with your 
crap, so you have to put up with mine.

The price of democracy its called.

No you and many others sound like Neville Chamberlain, Peace in our 
time. When somebody kicks the shitbags out of you, you will be the first 
to call for help and protest "Why didn't the government do anything".

Its not legal because there is one candidate on the ballot paper and if 
you don't vote for him, you don't get a second chance.

The problem is lack of controlled burning. Talk to an expert from CALM, 
I can give you his name if you like. The Eastern States are about 30 or 
40 years behind schedule and therefore will continue to have devastating 
fires until they catch up and until they get rid of the idiots who sue 
the fire service for the ugly scar that spoils their view when the 
firebreak was made last fire to save their house.

Personally, I can put up with some haze in winter when the wind isn't 
quite right, but we haven't had a disastrous bush fire like Dwellingup 
for over 40 years, so obviously we are on the right track in WA.

Free software an free speech, I guess they go together.
