[Kathryn E. Adams]

Uggh.  I'm tempted to just cover my eyes and scroll down to the next 
message.  Golf!

Then again, I don't think I've ever met an Aussie who doesn't golf.

I'm a little disillusioned from the human rights standpoint as well as the 
environmental damage angle.  In developing nations, small farmers are 
forcibly run off their lands with little or no compensation to build golf 
courses that feed no one.  Then their daughters are essentially 
economically enslaved as "caddies", who not only cart the bags, but are 
obliged to end each round with a hole in one, as it were.
