Our country was started so we wouldnt be taxed by our government, so our lives wouldn't be regulated. And we are on our way back. Yes we are free but that doesn't mean we don't need to work for it.
I doubt it. Firstly, it doesn't seem to be a High School assignment. Secondly, even if it was, Australian students are typically marked from 0% to 100%.If you don't get my drift, Stuart McMillen is Australian. A number of the pop culture references he made in the Huxley passages are Australian. 'A Current Affair' is a half hour tabloid TV show, Dreamworld is a theme park, Big Brother is a reality TV show (and although it's definitely not exclusively an Australian show, the Australian version's house is at Dreamworld).Also, his website makes it pretty obvious: <a class="user" href="http://www.recombinantrecords.net/">http://www.recombinantrecords.net/</a>
you must be a retard, right? Most retards don't give much back to society either (in money that is). Let's just kill them all! /sarcasm modemany people use drugs, i used to use myself, and i never costed a penny to society. I even contribute to my countries treasure by buying my drugs in state-regulated (tax-paying) stores (coffeeshops).
