Quote of the day: On Sydney’s savages …

Civilised man has never had a greater opportunity to find
his home in the midst of a natural paradise than than offered
him right in the heart of the Australian metropolis.
No savages could be capable of making such a mess
of this opportunity as Sydney as hitherto made of it … ”

- architect Walter Burley Griffin, writing in 1922

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
