No offense meant toward Australia/New Zealand! I like all of the people I have met who are from there, and hear it is the most beautiful place in the world. You can’t find any place in this world that doesn’t need a good anti-bacterial rinse to get rid of bad legislation. If only there were such a thing! All I was trying to point out is that they do a great job keeping the land beautiful.

Likewise nothing against places with oil. It is my experience that any time there is something to make lots and lots of money off of– i.e. oil, diamonds– the people in this world who are already overly obsessed with making lots and lots of money gravitate to those places. And no, that doesn’t mean that everybody who works in those industries are obsessed with money! I’m sure there are lots of nice, un-obsessive people who work in those industries and have their priorities lined up about as well as anybody can have, and who spend time with their kids and give back to the community and all that jazz. But the people who already are obsessed, of course will try to get jobs in those industries also.

And just in case you still think I’m stereotyping and/or judging people: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.” I know that I am the worst because I am the only person besides God who can see into my secret soul– and man, I wish I could wring it out over the bathtub because the water is just as dirty and gritty as that described in the post above.
