Fight Ignorance

I guess Saturday's post needs a little explanation.

On Friday I went on a trip on business up to the Sunshine Coast. I was appalled at the number of "One Nation" and Pauline Hanson posters (it is election time). ON's slogan appears to be "We're not PC. We tell it like it is" and Hanson's is "Protecting the Australian way of life".

Sadly too many people believe them, and can't and won't see that other people have other viewpoints that just might not be inferior to their own narrow 1950s view of the world.

I wanted to say something that rejected their point of view, without giving them and potential legitimacy through mentioning them by name.

Hence the slogan.
