Ok.
2nd Chairman of Gallup.
Doing a rant directed at...
Well...
Just about everybody I guess.
Basically saying what Kirk said in Wrath of Khan:
"You’ve managed to kill everyone else but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target"In any case I got half way through and got a strong sense of "AMERICA! F**K YEAH!"
Then my reasonableness got the better of me and I re-read two chapters substituting "Australia" for "America".
Odd.
Never thought of myself of having any level of anti-americanism in me.
Ok.
Well a bit.
But having re-read the chapters with the substitution I realised that most of what was being said applied to whatever country you're from.
Anyway, having grown up in a neo-conservative dominated world, it did seem like a call to action that needed to be said.
And, IMHO, needs to be acted upon.
Not just in the US, but everywhere.
And here in Australia too.
Oh wait.
Damn.
I'm doing the "AUSTRALIA! F**K YEAH!" thing.
But that's not what it's about.
It's about being just plain sensible.
Well, that's my 2c anyway.
