Pray for some common sense while you're at it
A bit of background information for anyone living overseas before I start my brief rant: Australia is in the grip of a very bad drought and has been since 2002. Things are getting so dire that farmers in the Murray-Darling basin may have no water allocations for irrigation this year.
Our illustrious PM's solution?
He wants us all to pray for rain.
Yep. Apparently like a gospel sideshow peddling faith-healing miracles and rain dances he thinks that if the nation pulls together and prays things will get better.
No worries, Johnny. Just one question though. If the power of prayer is a solution for the drought why did we need to invade Iraq to eliminate WMDs to engineer regime change?
Couldn't we have just prayed Saddam Hussein out of power?

as a kiwi, even though i'm not really sure about her, i'm really glad ms. clark has never said anything like that (i'm not adding the yet)
as an atheist, i say - good luck with that prayer thing, mr. howard
:)
Strip everything you can out of the enviroment, and then pray for someone to rescue you.
I would have prayed George W. Bush out of office a long time ago if I thought there was any chance of success.
