 GJ> 2nd August, 2007, Chauncey Bailey, editor, Oakland Post.  He was the
 GJ> last one on US soil
 ML> Um, you're changing the subject.
 GJ> Not really.

 ML> Yep, you were talking about how the truth can't be
 ML> printed in the United States, the original context being
 ML> your assertion that Boeing wouldn't allow the results of
 ML> the BA investigation to be published, which is silly even
 ML> by your upside-down standards.

Thank you for reminding me.  I had forgotten, but I am sure I didn't
say the truth can't be printed, but just that it can be difficult.
After all, I _never_ generalise!  I thought the subject had morphed.
So had some others.  I trust that you will keep us informed when/if
Boeing publishes the results of its investigation.  Doesn't USA have an
independent body to investigate any aerial incidents of that nature,
rather than rely solely on the manufacturer?  (Australia does, as we
don't always trust interested parties.)
 
 ML> You were in some paranoid way imagining that Your Rupert and
 ML> his military-industrial cronies had been offing the local
 ML> journalists. Chauncey Bailey has nothing to do with this.
 GJ> _Your_ Rupert (his choice; he repudiated his Adelaidean origins) was
 GJ> only quoted as his name first sprang to mind.

 ML> If Dick Cheney were to want to marry me, he would still not be My
 ML> Dick. Mine was born with me, and barring catastrophic accident,
 ML> will remain with me. Your Rupert began his career in Your City
 ML> and will forever be associated with it. I admit that he was for
 ML> reasons unknown a Whitlamite at the time and that subsequently
 ML> (as he became richer, no doubt) began to err toward the right.

That fine American citizen, Keith Rupert Murdoch, has always been rich
since inheriting the News from his father, Sir Keith.  As one of the
world's greatest opportunists, he backs whichever politician he thinks
will be the most useful to him, regardless of policies.  It has been
alleged that the anti-Royal attitude of his media results from the
refusal of Her Majesty, the Queen to grant him a knighthood like his
father.  God save the Queen!

I was going to make some comment about not wishing to rattle your
Cheney, but that would be getting too close to politics, so I won't.

A terrible thing happened closer to home a couple of days ago, when a
number of fermenting tanks at Wirra Wirra winery collapsed, spilling
over 300,000 litres of red wine - 15% of their vintage.  A disaster
like that warrants a Royal Commission, at the very least!

To counter that, the good news is that the tuna kings on the South
coast of SA have succeeded in obtaining eggs, fertilising them, and
raising fingerlings in large tanks.  This is the last step in growing
tuna in pens in the ocean for sale to the world (but mainly to Japan).
The technique was originally developed for raising kingfish.  Promising
research is also being done on breeding sea urchins in tanks.
