gawd I dont know, I havent had the opportunity to vote. If it wasnt for me mum on my case when I turned 18 I wouldnt be on the roll at all. At this stage Im gonna vote informal. Dont give me crap about throwing my constutional right away, both sides of the fence are as bad as each other. And I do care.

I just spent the morning reading about the electoral system. I guess we all love Proportional Representation prefential voting in the senate?

I thought we would have learnt after WW2 not to have proportional representation, but then they introduce it in 1949.

its teach you

Its politics, its not like your gonna get shot over it for bringing it up. I dont see any dinner table either. But money and religion I can understand, Ive nearly landed myself in a spot of bother a few times over that one, nearly did it on saturday this weekend too.

Anyway I think Im gonna go for the vision stick as a light set. Yeah they arent great but they arent too heavy, pretty cheap, and Im pnly commuting with it, yeah it takes forever to charge but it aint gonna kill me.

When I was 19 I was full of testosterone and had disposable income that allowed me to make full use of it. Legopener was so much cheaper in those days

Besides I was too busy writing music to be bothered with idealism ROFLMAO

That reminds of the time a bunch of us decided to bottle our own wine and one of the guys wanted to call it "Rene Pogel" - it took a while for us more innocent young ladies to twig to that one.
