			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It isn&#8217;t often that I get too serious, it isn&#8217;t often I read the news for much more than checking whether the price of beer or petrol has gone up, or the weather to whether I will be drinking in the pub or the park.</p>
<p>However on one of my new perusals I came across the following story http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22762751-29277,00.html and was absolutely disgusted. When did good old Australia become the  paranoid sepo land, the United States?<div style="float: right; padding: 5px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

I remember the heady days when your biggest fear was that bloke on the corner who hated your skateboard, or whether you would have enough for a slab for that BBQ on the weekend. Now it seems fear and paranoia is creeping into our society like a cancer. It doesn&#8217;t help that, the one eyebrow twit &#8220;Little Johnnie Howard&#8221; seems to want to jump into bed with the chronically stupid George W Bush. his love fascination does not have to effect us, what happened to our lifestyle?</p>
<p>Before little Johnnie, everyone loved Aussies, well apart from the Kiwi&#8217;s but who gives a turd about them anyway? You could go anywhere in the World, people would hear your accent and then know right away all you cared about was a beer and the surf conditions and that you weren&#8217;t there to bother anyone. Now it seems that with little johnnie doing horsie rides on the back of George W all the way into Iraq  and Afghanistan has put us smack bang in the middle of the map of Dick Heads with a big fuck-off star on top.</p>
<p>Not content with this little Johnnie decides that he needs to spread his fear and paranoia internally, whether it be interest rates, economy or terrorism, the little worm who hates the worm, is doing all within his power to scare us into keeping him in power.<span id="more-13"></span></p>
<p>Now what annoys me about the above listed article (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22762751-29277,00.html) is it also shows the under current of racist redneck Australia where some of the populace are too stupid and naive to see through the bullshit presented to us by a Government who have not only lost touch, but have also lost the ability to care, they have long forgotten that politicians are representatives of the people and not their controlling overlords.<br />
A large amount of Australia needs to wake up, read some books and find out about the big fuck-off world that is out there.</p>
<p>First of all how dumb are the punters who complained about a fiction book being read by a patron?<br />
Secondly, how dumb of the bouncers to act on the moronic complaints of redneck hicks with the IQ of an over-cooked pea?, though after all they are bouncers, so you have to cut them some slack since their thought process doesn&#8217;t go far beyond, the gym violence eating and flexing muscles. Surely though common sense would be enough to say</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey, why would a terrorist be reading a book about terrorism in plain sight?&#8221;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t expect too many to pick up on this, especially the moronic populace of Cairns who were involved in the incident but the Irony is a gem, and really highlights the important message that some people, like the author Richard Flanagan are trying to get across.</p>
<p>The best thing Australia could do for themselves is to pick up a book and read it and stop reading the fucking trash Daily Telegraph.</p>
