Allow another American to apologize on behalf of most of the rest of us. In
Bill's defense though - that was the politest I've ever seen him ;^}.

As for Australia's political system - You have a "Parliamentary Democracy" -
we have a "Republic". Both have their good and bad points. And both look
better than the other to their own.

What really puzzles us, as Americans, is the economic system. Socialism will
lose to Capitalism every time...I suspect that's what Bill meant.


Why the hell do people do that? You probably don't speak for anyone here.
