Indeed. Revolutions are also an effective way of changing the world.

New South Wales v Commonwealth of Australia; Western Australia v Commonwealth of Australia [2006] HCA 52

Hopefully this is a catalyst for Australians to wake up and oust Howard.

Well no, since "childhood is not an idiosyncrasy". Damn upcoming torts final... =(

Damn giant car signitures.

The authority of scientific knowledge is a matter of degree depending on the issue. "The Earth is flat" is a fairly well established and undisputed matter of fact, whereas "Homosexuality is not a disease" is a less undisputable view and a matter of classification. To characterise them in the...

Yes that could be the case and I think the situation is a rather sad one tbh.

Lol. That's a good one. :)
