Okay.
Now back to the question that I asked you, F.U. Do you think MS, user, blueberry and crash are part of "us"?
If so, and they support investigating the Australian model for possible implementation in the U.S., then it's not only Australians that you aren't willing to consider when they don't agree with you and your priorities. It's your fellow Americans and Mock Members. That's a fact, not an opinion.
People and organizations build off ideas, processes, policies and concepts established by others all the time. It's smart and efficient to consider what's working elsewhere and whether the same model could be leveraged to alleviate a similar problem at home (but it requires a genuine desire to alleviate the problem and an open, non-isolationist mindset).
Its simple. If they are a resident of the USA then yes discuss away. If you don't live here then you have no dog in the hunt and your opinion means nothing to me. That's all I am saying.
