Brilliant, Mr Kimball and thank you. I shall spread this ‘essay’ as widely as I can.

Sadly, we in Australia, are now experiencing, again, your quote of Matthew Arnold “the melancholy, long, withdrawing roar”. After a much needed respite of sensible Conservatism that provided us with a vital tool for success: freedom to choose, we find ourselves being cured of that success by a Socialist government, led by a megalomaniac, determined to “reform” each of every area of our lives.

Our beds have certainly been made for some time to come, but it is not yet too late for you Americans to make the right choice that will secure that success for a future of right choices.
