>>Australian ... being a country peopled entirely by criminals >Speak for yourself! My ancestors were free settlers.
I thought we were all Princess Bride fans here? Anyway, if you had a choice of where to settle, why would you choose the worst continent on Earth, with the most inhospitable climate (especially for white people), criminals everywhere, the most primitive and savage natives on the face of the Earth (in the 19th century the vast majority of Aborigines were living in the stone age technologically), the most number of poisonous snakes, spiders and insects etc? Even Africa or the subcontinent was a better place to settle provided you didn't get an exotic disease. Maybe your ancestors had good reason to want to leave the old country (I'm assuming somewhere in Europe) and maybe not, but why the ^&%#^ would they come to Australia? --- Send the right message --- + Today freemail + Get your free, private email address at http://www.today.com.au --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
