Heartbreaking.....

Interesting that on BBC.com, at this very moment, Australia is listed as one of the most hospitable of 55 countries from which those surveyed - 48,000 online responders in G8 countries - were to choose based on certain criteria.

Here's the kicker, though:

".... having friendly and welcoming residents." Yep, that's one of the criteria.

I guess we can all draw our own conclusions, but it would seem that these responders are either ill-informed or living in a cyber-world where reality is but a ghost compared to what it used to be.

Not that I necessarily have a firm grasp on reality myself. It may be true that we are living in a matrix.
