I find it funny that the bulk of greenies I have met have never spent a night in the bush in a swag or know what it is like to really rough it and enjoy what you have before you. Most of these bottom dwellers have university educations and have ideals which they like to impose on others but which really don't effect themselves as they have no intention of experiencing the environment the way we like to.
It is a free world with free speech - so long as it sings the Labor or Green tune, if not we are all rednecks. Well call me a redneck if that is what a redneck is!
Tight lines!
