Statistics!

The Prime Minister announced yesterday that he wants to implement policies to "reduce the difference in life expectancy between white Australians and Aboriginal Australians".

I just thought I'd point out that, if you really wanted to do this, by far the easiest way would be to execute a few hundred white Australians every week...

He could hire the non-white, non-Aboriginal Australians to do it for him. Apparently no one cares about their life expectancies so what does it matter if they get hurt during the Great Whities Cull?

[deird1]

True.

Or, better yet, he could get the Aboriginies to do it: taking care of life expectancies and unemployment problems in one hit...

Do you have any in mind :-)

[deird1]

Several.

(Just to quote Gilbert and Sullivan for a minute, "I've got a little list...")

Have I mentioned that I love the way your mind works? :-p

[deird1]

Why thank you. I enjoy it myself...

Thinking out of the box. Always a good thing.

[deird1]

Definitely.

That was a very similar thought to mine when I read your opening paragraph.

[deird1]

Well, great minds, and so forth...

It's creative thinking like this that got the Gordian Knot untied.

Of course, it could never be retied after that, but that's a whole different issue...

Cool. I think that's the first time I've been compared to Alexander the Great...
