WWFSMD is a play on the slogan What Would Jesus Do, which is often abbreviated with the acronym, WWJD. Many Americans in the United States wear bracelets or have bumper stickers with that acronym. WWFSMD stands for "What Would Flying Spaghetti Monster Do." The flying spaghetti monster was a joke started by a scientist, who was fed up with attempts by American evangelicals to get theologically based hypotheses into the scientific cirricula in schools

Thank you for the explanation. I have heard of the evangelical movement for teaching intelligent design {I can do that...design something intelligently!} in the States.
I had never heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, though. That is about as valid as anything else. Really. Actually, with meatballs and sauce, that one would at least be 'visable', no?
I am actually a researcher for the Greens political party here in NSW. Once our State election is done, I will begin working at the Federal level. I absolutely love my job! I actually had the oppoutunity to read and critique the entire Stern Review Report a few months ago. Very interesting. Then I worked on our minimal river system here in Australia, the Murray-Darling River Basin and tried to figure out why in such an arid country we are growing cotton and rice!
"It's funny. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the nuances of our electoral system, until I tried to explain the inner workings of the party nomination process. I now realize that I've always had a pretty big gap in my understanding of exactly how our electoral system works, despite the fact that I've always followed as much of the news coverage as possible about national party conventions in the past."I wrote a nearly identical sentence in my response to you but deleted it since 1. I felt like a dumbass and 2. I had already taken up a ream or two of paper on that comment. ha ha

You have on it, WWFSMD? {Or something like that}
Who {or what} is FSM?
btw, I get around on foot or by push bike...if I travel to work in Sydney {once a week} I take our lovely train system.
I appreciate anyone who would rather get somewhere on their own power than fill up and go.
Cheers!

How strong is the Green Party in New South Wales, and Australia as a whole? Do you have a chance in the upcoming elections?
The Stern report is no light reading! That's a monumental task just to read through the whole thing.

I have a tendency to go the long way around when explaining myself.

Also, all of this shop-talk under the watchful eye of the now deceased Pinochet seems fitting. Dapper outfit, ya think?
