"Mate, you've had either too many beers or not enough."
I don't see the US wanting more territory, though literate english-speakers would be a better addition than the last few territories we grabbed. If Canada breaks up we might give the western provinces a home but Australia's too far away and has a solid identity of its own.
Of the benefits he lists they already have the education access and defense coverage. They can get the currency w/ a simple law and the economic access with a free trade agreement. The sports leagues already have franchises in another country (Canada) and generally sell expansions to the highest bidder. Their constitution is good enough that I'd like to swipe a feature to put in ours. And would Aussies accept a bill of rights that doesn't have the word "strike" in it?
*Hysterical laughter* No, I don't EVEN want any of the drugs this joker is taking. Talk about a F-ing altered state of consciousness! I can't see the Aussies EVER going for this S**T! Mr. Lecturer, wake up and smell yourself. Blessed Be, Angelique
