hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.
Take it easy
A GAY activist from Sydney says his human rights have been violated by the human rights watchdog itself - because it refused to ban a "homophobic" Telstra ad about two men in a tent.
In the ad, two men on a camping trip become suspicious when their two mates disappear into a tent.
It later emerges they are simply watching cricket on the same mobile phone.

Some activists need to lighten up. Australians embrace humour and a part of that humour seems to be to not take ourselves too seriously, whatever our lifestyles.
This isn't to say poking fun at someone in a vicious manner is constructive, but rather that we can have a laugh at ourselves without it turning into a race to the court rooms. This is nice because it perhaps represents a lowering of the ego, or the collective understanding that all the different passions, desires and behaviours of human beings are pretty funny when considered from afar.
Why does this activist want gay people to be treated 'unequally' in this respect?
