Howard Haters

This article by Gerard Henderson, is quite ironic...
He is doing to left-leaning people with a political conscience, exactly what he accuses them of doing to Howard. They are apparently all cocooned away in their little "academia" world and completely out of touch with reality. He accuses them of never having mixed with "mainstream" or "right-leaning" political views. Well, sir, how much time have you spent with people on the minimum wage? How many times have you visited mentally ill people? And how much thought do you give to the future of Australian society (and i don't mean society = economy, as many would have you believe?) If the left "academia" are seperated from the real world, than the right are equally cocooned. I resent this article....

particularly because he pretty well describes my day in news...

except I have absolutely nothing to do with any humanities department.
