Hey: Cannoli. Gelato. Tiramisu. Enrico Fermi. Michelangelo.
Ferraris (but not Fiats). Galileo. Leonardo da Vinci. Ducatis.
If Italians weren't on this planet, we'd be trying to figure out
how beam them down so the place wouldn't be so freaking boring.

OK, Mussolini, Al Capone (well, he helped make Chicago famous)
and Lucretia Borgia kinda sucked. However, I'm not sure if
I'd trade 'em for John Howard and Pauline Hanson ;-)

Well, however you traded them may draw some criticism from a vocal few
here at the
moment.

All I can say is that if you have sinned, then confess, recite your
penance prayers,
and seek forgiveness and move on.
Its a Holy Roman Catholic Procedure....inaugurated in Italy after a
certain Inventor
dreamed up ideas about compassion, forgiveness and love in the middle
east, in the
midst of
waring factions in about the year 33.

I have had very long and pleasant relationships with the Italians I have
known....

I musta just never been unlucky to get involved with the wrong lot.
And I have never voted for either John Bloward, or Pauline Pantsdown.

What would history be if there hadn't been a Rome?



Patrick Turner.

That's the way, Patrick,, but tell the rest of the story about your
catholic church propaganda,, Child Abuse, Over population, the demise of
ethnic minority groups, mass poverty, birth control, The lost generation.
Alter boy gender reassignment. The uncontrolled spread of AID's, and Weelly
bin realignment on the public streets of Canberra.
Patrick's got a jumbo sized one for all his old bottles.
As for Pauline,, you might well vote for the feral redheaded one, IF they
shift Canberra to Queensland.. But "don't you worry about that"
We think your safe, from becoming a pineapple farmer, but we are not sure
about "peanuts"
