Margo, you might remember me from your childhood. I was that annoying friend from the backwaters of Dalby - Claire Evans/ Taylor. Your mother Jann alerted us to your book which I immediately rushed out to buy as the title immediately resonated with our feelings on the matter. As one of those who have been grumbling for years but felt powerless to change what was happening, I was moved to protest along with all the others in Brisbane over being forced into war. Your book has definitely inspired me to do whatever I can to claw back the shafts of our poor democracy before it slips forever from our grasp. Thanks.

Margo: I sure do remember you. And we never talked about politics! Thank you, Claire.
