A lot of times I don't believe as strongly in my

posts as I come across. I like to play devils advocate,

because I believe it stimulates comunication. If we all

agreed with each other, there would be no reason to

comunicate. I always look forward to your posts also, and I

have always wondered how you get along with your

friends, as a raw foodist. We get a lot of Aussie tourists

here in Hawaii, and they love to PARTY. I always

thought Americans were the the big drinkers of the world,

you got us beat. Of course wine is raw.<br><br>Doug

My Dear Doug,<br><br>You devil,you. Just as the

Vatican has abolished the position of Devil's Advocate,

you take up the position in the Pacific!<br><br>Well,

I need friends, like anybody else. So I have found

by inviting potential friends to dinner or a picnic,

of which I am very fond, I have a certain control

over the food and drink, even the atmosphere. Of

course I do prepare raw fruit and vegetables, juice,

sprouts, nuts and seeds however I also prepare meats,

vegetables and breads for those who eat cooked food. It is a

great training in tolerance.<br><br>As for Australian

tourists: we become very ugly when we go overseas.

Australian tourists are the Ugly Australians. When you see

us coming, run a mile.<br><br>Are we the world's

biggest drinkers? I don't know.<br>However pound for

pound we are the world's greatest athletes and we have

just put on the world's best Olympic Games. We produce

the world's best scientists. We have a vibrant

literature and broadcasting. Our artists are distinctive and

varied. We have created a peaceful and successful

multicultural society. Our environment is beautiful. We have

done all this without waging a war against Britain or

fighting a Civil war amongst ourselves. We are a

gold-plated democracy which cares for its citizens. And fresh

fruit and vegetables are cheap.<br><br>So we are not

all bad, except for the tourists.<br><br>I must go

the fire alarm has gone off.<br><br>Victor.
