    The British Digger movement had a lot going for it. Don't overlook that.

    With respect, and due humility, 2001.

    That was the year "Modern Western Liberalism" was shaken to its roots. Roots found lacking in an acknowledgement of a triumph of individual, personal rights, unalienable, to rights 'granted' from outside the body politik.

    1776, 1789, 1848, all mighty years in the struggle, '01 trumps 'em (in my opinion) because of the the challenge and response.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
