Given my thoughts on religion, some people wrongly assume that I am a socialist. The political left has an active presence in Sydney’s Inner West, and its members frequently accost me, trying to get me to sign petitions or join them in demonstrations. Like the worst evangelists, they think they are the sole possessors of a high and mighty truth, which humanity will have to embrace if it is going to be saved. I met one on Australia Day, and after the usual ear-bashing, I politely declined to sign her petition. I was in a good mood at the time - but in retrospect I should have stayed and given her a piece of my mind.
Don’t worry - I’m not apologising for offensive imagery. It’s just assumed a different form. Regular viewers are probably wondering why I haven’t added much lately. It’s got nothing to do with holidays, girlfriends, personal problems, etc. None of these should limit our work - if anything they should inspire it!
