Wow! They played Ships Of Freedom? They must have read my mind. I went to a 
rally/march yesterday to protest the government's actions and policies 
towards asylum seekers. If overseas p'workers aren't aware, the Australian 
Federal government is forcing refugees from the Middle East to stay in 
detention centres where they are being terrorised and denied basic human 
rights. It's downright evil. At this time in Australia, it would be 
appropriate for the Oils to mention the plight of theses refugees, I 
wondered if they'd play Ships Of Freedom in concert. I didn't think they 
would play it, but they've done a good thing to show their support of these 
people and of Amnesty International. Go Oils!

Jim.
