Still waiting for the explanation as to why left hand drivers need to see a psychiastrist, TM...........after all even your wiki reference (which has been posted before BTW) concedes that the LHS has a much longer history than the alternate-and predates the automobile by several millenia-not to mention that right handedness is vastly dominant across the human race (70-95%)-making the historical keeping left narrative logical

TM didn't say that. He said "whoever thought it up" etc. And since it appears no one really did, I have asked my shrink to stand down for now.

He's annoyed - he was expecting a big cheque.

Anyway...back to Australia...

Since we are all humans (maybe not the Australians: they might be aliens), we are all nutty in some way. We have been throughout our history. And maybe one of these days far in our future real outer space aliens will be observing us and say to themselves" These nasty creatures called Humans are a constant annoyance." "I think they need to be exterminated." "Then we can eat them and rape their world of all it's minerals and water!"

Those "aliens" sound remarkably like some humans, and not at all "alien".

If this really were "far in our future" then I suspect there may not be many minerals, or clean water, left, at least so long as we humans continue our "alien" ways.

Perhaps we should get all the "alien" visitors to eat vegemite? I'm sure that'd solve some sort of problem... somewhere.

If a civilization were advanced enough to build starships they would have the technology to clean our dirty oceans and then drain them, and they would have the technology to extract what ever they wanted from the Earth's core!

Not really, we are very hard to train and given to unpredictable out bursts of violence. Also, we breed like pigeons, rats, rabbits. seagulls and other vermin.

The theory is that such races would have evolved to a higher plain, so they would not exterminate us.

Really we are protected by a couple of factors. First, it turns out that there is a lot of water in the galaxy, which is not surprising in that water is such a stable compound and composed of the most common element. Secondly, we live in a backwater of our galaxy. It is probably not worth their trouble to investigate us, or they have already checked us out and decided to leave us quarantined.

Notice the movement to resume believing the world is flat so we can continue to feel important.

So: humans saved from themselves by aliens? Isn't that just old time religion?
