Ok those 9 guys are just plain stupid... just shoot them all! Okay dont shoot them - I'm against capital punishment, but I mean anyone who is that dumb really should face some sort of consequences.
As for the Corby girl, pretty obvious to me anyway that she's innocent. Just set her free - she's paid the price already for her stupidity in not being more careful with her bags.
IMO the police in Indonesia (and in OZ for that matter) need to concentrate more on the head-honchos of the drug trade than these small fry that are just caught up in the making quick bucks naivety.

Have we gone too far?
That is the question I pose today regarding Anzac Day...
Every year it gets bigger and bigger, and to be honest I'm getting a little sick of it. I know I could get howled down in protest over it, but seriously folks, do we need all this hoo-ha? Maybe the 90th anniversay made the day a bit more meaningful than usual but still it was over the top at times.
I think the day is very important for us to remember the lives that were lost and to thank the armed forces for protecting and fighting for us, but I think the whole Gallipoli thing has turned into a bit of a circus. For a start the whole event was a complete cock-up. Anyone who has actually read and studied the event knows that.
Struggling to put my thoughts into words on this subject so i might come back to it, but I'm sure you get my point.

A pope is a pope....
Why does the catholic church need a pope? What they do need is another Reformation if you ask me...
Spent the last 5 years waiting for the old guy to die and then they get another old dude not far off his death bed as well??? 3 steps backwards for the catholic church really by electing this guy. Why not elect a pope who is going to be in touch with the world, 30 years younger, that can make the changes needed to bring the church into the 21st century. They will just see more and more drifting away from the church, or joining a more contemporary church.

Why create a blog?
I'm not sure. I think I like the idea of posting up my thoughts, ideas, and concerns (however meaningless) for others to read.
I suppose it is a bit like a diary as well - what is happening in my life.
I have seen and gained inspiration from Brad, Jo, and Ben's blogs.... they have the right idea - dont go overboard on posting, but post just enough so people will come back to read... We will see how long the motivation for mine lasts lol...
I welcome comments. If only so I know someone is actually reading the bloody thing!!
Anyways, thats my blog... what happens now is anyones guess. I suppose I should make my first controversial comment on the state of this nation, or this world. Or maybe I will just complain about how crappy the Crows were tonight! :P
Take care all...
