I'm not going to defend Graham..he is certainly equipped to defend himself.

I will say that many of his opinions are different than mine...

And I will also say that he is one of the most honest and direct people I've ever come to know.
I'd much rather disagree with an honest man than stand in agreement with someone that might change their opinion at any time.
Australians in general (and I've got a few in my family) speak more directly than we Americans.
It takes some getting used to...

Graham is a good friend and I can say that we agree on far more than we disagree.
Hell...when I finally find my way to Esperance we might share a dance as well as a mug or two !
