   And as usual Krispy is wrong again. Anyone is free to say anything   
   that they want, whish is of curse abhorrent to the old fellow as he   
   would much rather everyone stood in awe of his long and stringent   
   labors at the Australian Immigration thwarting the attempts at all   
   those Wogs  trying to sneak into the land of the blackfellows (stolen   
   by K and his ilk). The king of the Christmas Island Gulag.
