Exactly! I have but contempt for Howard. Canada's Chrétien seems like a cooler bloke.

Canada and Oz are cooler than the US because they don't have the stress and responsibility of being the World Superpower. So they're more laid back and 'fun'.

Me too. THE single thing that cometimes makes me ashamed of my country is those in charge and the way they run it. Out latest budget made me . It's run like a fucking business with little or no consideration for education or health care. And taxes are so high that some of the Americans that had a look at how much we were taxed nearly jumped out of their skin. For some people, it is nearly 60% of their total income.

Dude, you're crushing my dreams. I had aspirations of moving to Oz if the political climate in the US didn't improve... I guess it's now either Canada or NZ. Moose or sheep.

Hell no, nothing really werong with the country. And the tax figure I listed was really on for the multi-millionares who have that many loopholes it's rediculous. We do have higher tax than the US, but we also have free public healthcare, free public education blah blah blah.

The problem with Howard is that he wants to be Bush- hence he wants Australia to be the USA. Europe is still my cup of tea- but I still love New Zealand

I don't think so. He just wants be seen suporting the US in every way for the protection of the US military should we ever need it.

Yeah- but he's still the only leaser I know to declare his own war on terrorism (After the bali bombings in case you were wondering)
