They also sent a very large amount of convicts to the American's for similar things for a lot longer and lot earlier than Australia (1617), up until the ruckus of 1775, indeed between 1718 and 1775 a full 1/4 of the people going to the US where english convicts (around 50,000 or so)
Other interesting fact where that the US kept things like Convict Leases in place for a very long time, up until the mid to late 1920's, farmers and local councils bought them off the prison system for manual labour. Nasty stuff. |

Damn you, I don't want to poke fun of Kraftwerk fans... (poor little EBM apprecionardo's are few and far between) But go on, go do some digging around and see who turns up in the family tree from that period :p
Lilith is also immensely drunk so don't take any of this to heart! |

| How in hell can you be "immensely drunk" and still write perfectly articulate english, and apply forum size tags correctly? |

| I have been throw-up drunk at times and was still able to type perfectly. I couldn't speak well at all, but I could type. Weird. |

| Maybe it's because when you type you can look at what you wrote, press backspace and try again. When you talk, you say stupid but can't go back and erase it. |

That's probably part of it, but I didn't really make many mistakes, either. Probably just a few more per minute than if I had been sober.
The fact that I type many, many, many words more than I speak each day probably has something to do with it. My typing muscles are much more coordinated than my speaking ones. |
