we don't have 'harsh weed laws' either in connecticut, if you get caught with an ounce or less you're given a fine never even have to go to court. it's a big country, the laws vary. the tsa thing is overblown and will be scaled back, however I am confident that australia has its own airport security. I'm pretty sure you pay a tax to the recording industry on every blank cd you buy. you don't pay $200 for a doctor's visit but you do pay ten times that in extra taxes so I'm not sure how that's free, and we don't have sopa either.
