@Roy_H

what a complete waste of Richard's valuable time!

Actually I think anything that gets more head space in the general mass media is a good thing - even more so when its a positive presentation. Like they though - all press is good press even the bad stuff - if for no reason other than it gets people talking and hopefully questioning...

Those that don't kill you by running full-speed in front of your car (roos, wombats)

You crack me up - the top speed of a wombat is about 5 km/hour and they have a hard time climbing up trees, rocks, small ledges over fallen logs... mind you they're kinda like bears if they find you asleep in you tent at night... when you're on the ground at their level... not a pretty sight...

lol - happy holidays people

3. Mother dies after refusing blood

My wife and I read this sad sad case and could only cry for those poor children - too live your life without a parent is bad enough - but one who died bringing you into this world - its too sad for words.

The most offensive thing is that we can't do anything for them to free them of the idiocy that cost them a mother - as has been pointed out religion has a free pass...

If their mother had died through some other non-religious complication I imagine that it wouldn't make more than the local news. If it had been our local community they would have rallied around and supported the family... This has made international news (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/11/05/2082417.htm) surely in the name of all that is humanity we can do something?
