Happy Oz Day!
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Ooh ooh there's an FA18 flying up and down the river woo it's NOISY!
Plus some weird remote drone... Sinister.
Massive fireworks later, in the shape of a Koala!
I'm at work in the city now but we get to have 45 mins off to watch the fireworks.

Plus I'm getting paid a massive amount for working Australia Day.
Hmm... It's not all bad I guess.
Then,
saturated with joy,
you will put an end to suffering and stress.

* Australia, founded by convicts. The homicide rate is in Australia is 1.8 per 100,000 of population. The United States was founded by religious zealots. It's homicide rate is 6.3 per 100,000. Almost 400% greater than Australia.
The different countries gun laws probably have more to do with those statistics than their pedigree. If those figures are true or even close to true they are still quite impressive.
