What I found interesting when I was travelling overseas was that the whole world thinks Australians drink Fosters Lager.

As an Australian, I found this odd, because I’ve never seen anyone drink it in the mother country.

It’s been pointed out that “…it’s the stuff we don’t want so we ship it off to the poms…”

And as is mentioned in the following philosophical discussion piece, “…we find your American beer is a little like making love in a canoe…”

Fear is a survival instinct, a throwback to our ancient ancestors.

So why do we fear now? Here in the first world; what’s there to fear?

Hunger? Well, for the most part (other than a few pesky low-income earners), we don’t have to worry about that.

Violent assault? Possible but not as likely as the TV news would have us believe.

Death? Happens to everyone. What’s the big deal?

Betrayal? Find better friends.

Imagine a world where fear is not the first thing thrust down your throat whenever you open your eyes, where the images that enter our eyes are not designed to be so emotive and manipulative.
