G'day athos, welcome, and I'm the 'friendly one around here.'

You need to sharpen your pencil, quick!
Thank you Aussie - nice to know there are a couple of us. Friendliness is a virtue. I have many virtues I keep in a box for occasions such as this.
Hang in athos, though some may appear to be upset it is just their sensitive nature coming to the fore. On a political forum some people seem to shoot first and ask questions later. I like to ask questions before I shoot.
Here's one now. Why do you reckon Little Kevvy is human when you can see his stuffing coming out?
I’ll tell you why.
First we can not underestimate the fact that he is very popular among young Australians. When he visited High schools and universities he was welcomed like rock star. It must be something human that attracted those steel unspoiled young people to him.
Secondly he does not hesitate honestly to share with people the hardship life that he experienced and to show lack of arrogance which is really refreshing after calculated icy John Howard and his arrogant ministers.
He did not hesitate to admit his worn ability by visiting a strip bar in New York.
For example in his TV plea to the people for Christmas, Kevin Rudd said very simple human message:
“As someone who lost his dad nearly 40 years ago in a car accident, can I say to everyone: Please, please drive carefully.
Take a break, have a rest, make sure you're not driving too tired.''
Someone can not claim to be a Christian ( like Bush and Howard ) if he contradicts that with his inhuman behaviour.
Unlike John Howard, Kevin Rudd has respect for people around him regardless of their race and national origin.
Unlike John Howard, little man from his backyard, Kevin Rudd former diplomat, who speaks several foreign languages, had opportunity to be in touch with outside world overcoming Australian world isolation syndrome.
As Maxim McKew said for Howard: “ He did not know how to live with others”.
Kevin Rudd says what he thinks and thinks what he says, that what honourable humans do.
On the other hand John Howard did everything what George Bush, Tony Blair and Pauline Hanson said.
Good politician is supposed to be more creative and to unite the country not to divide as John Howard did.
