      I remember attending a thanksgiving meal at some American friends when I young; they served marshmallows during the main meal and pumpkin for dessert. Amazing!

      Any tradition that brings family and friends together in peace is good.

      Has anyone checked the Labor Party Membership?  Is there a member by the name of M.Turnbull?  What a sad state of modern democracy we now appear to have in Australia. The converatives have trashed their own voter base.
      I am saddend by this affair of state!

      Please tell what is “modern democracy”?  This is a term I’ve often seen but have no idea what it means.  If what we currently live under is “modern democracy”, then it isn’t democracy at all. Not every one can vote, those that can, are fined if they don’t. If the party you support does not stand a candidate you have to vote for some one you don’t want!!

      Is this “modern democracy” Zammab?

      America has a lot to be thankful for : Benjamin Franklin, George Washington Tom Paine and many others. Our founding ‘fathers’ were a bit rougher, and we have a lot to be thankful for too.

      Let me be the first to throw up my breakfast lunch and dinner at Della bosca’s love letter to Belinda Neal in parliament, what a disgrace that the married couple of state and federal labour would use their time on show to promote their on personal “relationship” this country is surely screwed if this is what passes as political statement.  I can’t wait to vote both you scum bags out of the central coast, you are an absolute disgrace.

It's a Sydney thing, but 95.3FM... Why? It used to be all Bohemian Rhapsody and Walk this Way; now it's Father to Son and Country Road. Wah.
