I did not know that Australians refered to Australia as "Oz," Foxrr. That's pretty funny.

I've read about what a problem rabbits are in some places of the world, and it is surprising that the government isnt more supportive of hunters to control the populations.

That's really sad to hear. It might be true, too. But the general opinion stateside is that America is overworked as the world's police force and that too many American eighteen-year-olds are getting killed before they are old enough to buy their first beer while the world watches and criticizes from the sidelines.

Unemployment has reached its highest level since the Great Depression, consumer spending power is at a new low, 20% of American mortgages are underwater, college tuition is still outpacing inflation, malpractice insurance is so expensive you cant deliver a baby in Las Vegas, the youth of the country is looking for free rides (disability, food stamps, unemployment), our banks are insolvent and at the spearfront of a global economic crisis, our automobile makers cant make a decent car or turn a profit, our health care system is unsustainable, our social security system is unsustainable, the Chinese economy is putting ours to shame, Chinese hackers are stealing blueprints to our fighter jets and our credit card numbers, China is the number one source of new billionaires, China has a massive overpopulation, our Navy is thinly stretched, at war, but still expected to protect the Somali coast, the Russians have a fighter plane that embarasses the twelve-years-in-the-making F-22 Raptor, we have been at war for 8 years (the longest war ever fought by an all volunteer army) which has been financed mostly by Chinese bought T-bills, and radical muslims are becoming a legitimate threat to acquiring Pakistan's arsenal of nuclear missiles and it doesnt look like anyone else is going to step up to the plate to stop them.


The upside? The one thing that mass media enjoys more than criticizing success is to gloat over an ugly fall.

so yeah, Australian rabbits often get overlooked
