Checking in with my political leanings at politicalcompass.org, seems I'm still a libertarian leftie, even though I fundamentally disagree with the far left's identity politics.

This picture, courtesy of our national broadcaster, somehow captures the essence of being Australian. Voting is mandatory for all adults, is always on a Saturday, and can be done on the way to the beach.

So my tendency to drink many cups of tea/coffee per day is written into my genes! What I've noticed is that caffeine has no noticeable effect on me; if I drink too much, I just feel a bit sick in the stomach. No jittery, shakes, anything like that. Kind of means I'm missing out, I guess.

I want to believe. But I can't without evidence.
