Politics: USA, Regime Change & Heroes

"Our loyalties must transend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective".
Author: Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-68), African-American reverend, civil rights leader

I spoke yesterday to my Aunt who now lives between New Jersey and Orlando Fl. A professional woman she met and married an American and emmigrated to USA about 5 years ago.

Recently she became an American citizen and it was quite an emotional event for her as it meant abdicating her primary loyaty to Australia. It got me thinking that while we can change citizenship there are about 5 key things we cannot naturally change 1) Our DNA 2) Our natural parents 3) Our Birth order 4) Our siblings 5) Our Country of Origin.

Once an Aussie always an Aussie - I reckon!

She was also commenting on the US Election and she can now vote. Her vote will be given to George Bush. Well better George than )indirectly) Mike Moore - I believe. (Who in their right mind would want to give this man and ego boost through bringing down the Bush govt?)

I want to see Farenheit 911 - but its one movie I would not feel guilty about watching as a pirated copy on DVD....

I dont see Mike Moore as a hero at all as he profits too much from his cause (like Ray Martin and A Current Affair).

True heroes who bring about regime change are those like Jesus, Father Romero or Martin Luther King.

Ironically none profited from their cause - all seemed to die for it!
