News from 5 years ago.
Political focus not really guitar focus story.
Motivation for posting the day before our general election?

What are you on about Corky? I fail to see how this is skewed or relevant in any way to Australian politics.

You're probably right ... but I see one side of an out of date right wing political story presented on a guitar forum.
I don't know the motivation of original poster on the hottest political day of our year.
Politics and religion don't end well on forums.

I heard that the mahogany that they were using at the time was confirmed to be imported illegally...

Personally, I can't see the logic of the American Government insisting on the Indian Rosewood being finished in India rather than in America to make it legal to import, especially when there are ex-number of unemployed/homeless US citizens in the US, the US Government are obviously over-exercising their power and authority.


Was it really necessary for them to have S.W.A.T. charge in with guns as if Gibson were dealing in illicit substances?


And I thought America's Democratic Government was supposed to be about being "For the people, by the people", obviously the system in place got corrupted by those with ulterior motives.

I think they forgot why the first American settlers left England, or why the War of Independence was fought.

@ Dedman love your graphic pictures, very cool mate !

Did you know that when we elect politicians for our Federal Government, those politicians we elect are supposed to be representatives of the Sovereign people of Australia, that effectively makes us their Boss, and they are answerable to us, this is supposed to apply for all countrys/nations with a Democratic system of Government, this includes America too.

One of our responsibilities as a Sovereign people is that we are supposed to keep our Governments in check to ensure they do not abuse their powers, this goes all the way back to Medieval England when English Dukes forced an English King to sign a document, called the Magna Carta, this document is the very foundation of our Government, and also our system of Law.
