Alex, I agree re-education will not work, and I think the new rules are actually designed to reduce the existing levels of extermination - unless of course you also consider 'family planning' a form of extermination?

Joy, I like cats & dogs - I just choose not to own either.
On mateship, I think its a misunderstood concept, and I also dont think it is exclusively Australian, nor even exclusively gender specific - but that just my opinion, and I can accept that others see it differently.
