Election day today

I support all of you's right to vote for whoever you truly feel is best to run this country, as long as you don't make your decision based entirely on selfishness or scare tactics etc.

That said, if you help the Liberals win(*), I will hunt you down and kill you.


(*)This includes not voting, or voting above the line without realising where your prefrences go on a two party preferred basis. I realise that this puts my foreign readers in a difficult bind but that's just the price you pay for being sneaky dirty foreigners isn't it? If I have any underage readers you should go put on a fake moustache and vote anyway.

Further small print: since it seems to have escaped some people: I didn't say that voting Liberal is neccesarily anything other than a reasoned and thoughtful decision made in accordance with that person's values. I have met many intelligent and decent Liberal voters.

...and they will be sorely missed when the revolution comes. (That and the entire CEC. No political party that promotes geometry over algebra can be allowed to survive)

you should see some of the forums I'm on... some of the people hurt hardest by John Howard are saying they're voting for him "because I don't want high interest rates" or "because I remember how arrogant Keating was". Fuckheads.

Heh, I remember asking my parents to vote for Keating because he had a cooler name than the other guy.

I remember when it was Hawke versus Peacock(*). This appealed to my pun loving childhood brain, I remember drawing my first ever political cartoon about it (a peacock and a hawk at podiums. I got stuck at the point of thinking up any dialogue for it :))

(*)I think. They were certainly roughly contiguous.

hehe, I remember that too. A friend of mine went to bed before the election result was called and in the morning asked his mum "did Mr Parrot win?"

[alias_sqbr]

Heh.

If you see this: would it be too impolite to ask who you are? Just curious :) (Assuming that I am right in pegging you as different to the other anonymous person, who I think I have idenitified)
