An assortment of opinionated one-liners

No unifying theme this time ... just a collection of a few unrelated, miscellaneous, opinionated, and (I hope) provocative one-liners.

...

Looking at Australia's political parties, there's a right-wing party called Liberal, a regional party called National, a middle-class party called Labor, and an occasionally "Orange" party called Green. Could the misleading names of the parties be one of the reasons why many Australians are cynical about politics?

...

Yes, it takes a village to raise a child; but why do so many villages seem to leave the job to their village idiots?

...

The cost of a wedding varies in inverse proportion to the combined intelligence of the couple.

...

When a couple refers to each other as their "partners", I feel sorry for them.  They're not married yet, and the relationship has already stopped being sexy.

...

Richard Wagner is the "gangsta rap" of the classical music repertoire.

...

There's really very little "fun" in "fundamentalism".

Constructive comments, from a diversity of viewpoints, are always welcome. I reserve the right to choose which comments will be printed. I'm happy to post opinions differing from mine. Courtesy, an ecumenical attitude, and a willingness to give your name always help. A sense of humour is a definite "plus", as well.
