the backwardness of australia

one of the 'founding fathers' of america -- a samuel adams --- probably well known to americans from their high school/ elementary school studies -- is supposed to have said: you're better off being poor than being a little richer and having to lick the hands and feet of your masters in servitude............. he sure wasn't kidding......... i find myself in a similar predicament in australia -- where sadly, everyone seems to bend down to grovel before the english/ossie brute-man that pretends he isn't english......... perhaps most surprising is that no-one can even challenge americans to challenge this status quo in australia in their relationships with australians -- but probably nobody cares enough -- as if english people running the country since they arrived is good enough reason to pretend there aren't laws here against racial discrimination -- which is a common practice here anyway.........
