You’re right that I don’t like Moussaoui. He wanted to kill lots of people. For that, he should rightly suffer in prison. Even card-carrying members of the ACLU like me (I signed up in 1988 after Ray-gun made it a campaign issue) want to see the guilty punished. I’ve spent a lot of time in prison. I’m a nurse (that’s how I could get a work visa to enter Australia) and I used to work in state prisons in Florida. What hellholes! No air conditioning in that humid heat, food that I wouldn’t bring home to my dog, endless screaming and degradation… Zaccy deserves that for decades. You death-clamourers are the ones who want to make it easy for him.

As for your comment about Australia being “globally insignificant” — so what? What good does it do YOU to be in the “significant” U.S. of A? Do you feel more important in some personal sense because you’re in a big, powerful country? That mindset is like people who feel like champions because the sports team in their town won some contest. It’s called “ego transferrence.” It allows people who don’t have much power to identify with something they perceive as more powerful. But in terms of impact on day-to-day life, it has no significance. You’re not richer and tougher because you live in a particular country unless you’re one of the people who has the power to kill the way President Cheney does. You’re just a small person who feels big.

I can tell you what life is like in the insignificant country of Australia. It’s easy, mate. People are relaxed here. They’re not as tense and angry as in the U.S. There are lots of immigrants here, Greeks, Italians, Lebanese, Vietnamese, way more Africans than I expected… and to a large extent, they all get along. The official watchword is is “multiculturalism.” It’s very politically correct here. Extremely ACLU. Racist comments are frowned upon. I’m not saying it’s perfect — Muslims acted the fool in Sydney in December and yobbo whites started a race riot — but that was regarded as a national shame. Overall, though, people agree to keep their differences buried and there’s social peace. I like it.

Lastly, as for “we still control guys like you” who do YOU control, really? You’re just a passenger on the ship called America. The big people at the top control you. I, on the other hand, have the money, skills and flexibility to control my life. I can go anywhere in the English-speaking world that I want. And I tell you mate, it’s better down here.

Good luck with the fascism that’s coming your way!

A divided Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from a man held until recently as an enemy comb

“And he won’t be suffering every day like he would when locked in a hellish U.S. prison.”

Sounds like you really hate the guy bukko. I mean, to want to see him suffer like that as opposed to a quick death.

“I was born in the U.S. but I emigrated to Australia last year to escape your lot. You know what? It’s more peaceful and tolerant here. Life is pleasant”

You forgot to add that Australia is globally insignificant as well. Other leftist countries have claimed we are heading for destruction since “Nam. Funny how we still control guys like you.
