Nice post, Andrew.
Only one small pork chop to toss back in a cultural sense...

Those of us South of the Mason-Dixon line often don't take kindly to the
term "Yanks" as it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth from our little
"War of Nawthern Agression".

FWIW...

Andrew, use the Sydney term " Seppo " in future. VBG

Seriously, if there is a disaster in any part of the world, what
countries are the first to offer help ? USA, Canada, Oz, Britain &
NZ.
Do any of the Mid Eastern countries offer help ? They are the
first to demand it.

I really think that our governments should stop helping countries
that permit overpopulation and destruction of their environment by
uncontrolled animal grazing. Northern Africa was once a grain
basket, as was the Middle East, now it is mostly desert and their
governments spend a very large portion of their revenue on armaments
instead of projects to benefit their citizens.
