Anglo Saxons Need Your Help to Communicate
Anglo Saxons need your help. To this end
can you please assist us stiff-upper-lip folk to discover and value our
extended families. While we have your ethnic attention, we need your help to
string a meal out for several hours, during which time we might learn to talk
for extended periods.
An excellent goal might be for us to stop
thinking about protocol and building monuments and actually find out what is in
the hearts of our friends and family, instead of just banging on about
procedural matters and infrastructure creation.
While you ethnic minorities are at it, can
you please help us find our talking gene so that improved relationships might
discourage some of our youth suicides and prevent some of us from getting
plonked into aged care facilities. It happens when us elderly Westernised folk
are seen as part of the infrastructure we helped to create.
So what does making a meal last for two
hours have to do with alleviating depression, longevity, crook national symbols
and the exportation of convicts to Australia and the USA?
The Talking Gene connects this by way of humor, cartoons, insightful quotes, a bit of sadness and funny relationship
stories along the way. You will never again feel the same way about logging
your family tree, bureaucrats, ethnic minorities or Australia’s first settlers. You owe
it to your talking gene to read this.

A big thankyou to
my 13-yr-old son Peter for his cartoons and for being as crazy as a wombat.
Thanks also to my beautiful wife for teaching me to sit still long enough to
make a meal last for two hours.
