  Dictionary of Australian Biography Sa-Sp
Smith was not content to merely carry out the routine duties of his position, he had always been a tireless worker, and during his five years librarianship he reclassified and catalogued about 30,000 volumes.
Smith had been elected to the legislative council in 1851, and in 1856, when responsible government came in, he was elected a member of the legislative assembly as one of the representatives of Melbourne.
Smith made a reputation as a financial authority, and though he refused to enter political or municipal life, his advice was frequently sought by politicians and members of the business community of Adelaide.

Smith immediately grasps the nut of the tragedy, which is that the "codes of this conflict" are "confusing to Westerners".
Indeed, Smith is one of those radiant, longsuffering souls who feel that, if they could only drive into our thick skulls the grievances and perspectives of those people who fervently regard our society as the wellspring of all evil, we might repent and turn from what they percieve to be the road to hell.
Smith is too typical of the kind of moral imbecile whose status as a "creative" person has insulated him from the harsh task of really understanding the threat behind mob violence, or taking a truly moral stand, since art, after all, is so much more perfect than morality.

So -- because I like Leno and want to make sure his political career prospers -- I've decided to point out that he is sponsoring a truly stupid and specious bill that would create special agricultural licenses allowing farmers to grow industrial hemp that no one really needs.
Canadian growers only last year finished selling their 1999 crop of hemp seed, mostly as bird food, Leson says.
Some Canadian farmers still plant hemp -- Canada, after all, is where U.S. manufacturers of hemp clothing and hemp granola bars currently get their seeds and fiber.

 David Irving: Propagandists' Poster Boy
David John Cawdell Irving was born in 1938.
Like all Irving’s work, this goes beyond revisionism: Hitler, his lieutenants and his creed are to be pure and shining, cleansed of the crimes committed in their name by tainted degenerates whom Irving keeps in the shadows out of sight.
His criminal convictions in Germany led Canadian authorities to deny him entrance as well; he was deported from Canada in 1992 after he admitted having lied to a Canadian customs official.

 Wilbert Brockhouse Smith [was: The UFO Evidence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Smith deliberately kept the initial effort small until he had data to justify a larger effort, which is actually typical of how real R&D usually proceeds.
Since Smith was saying he might have some insight into how the saucers worked (but was reluctant to proceed without having more definite information as to whether the saucers were real), it might make perfect sense to bring the Canadians into it to infuse some fresh thinking.
In fact, Smith's original memo suggests this is the reason he was brought into it: "I was further informed that the United States authorities are investigating along quite a number of lines which might possibly be related to the saucers...

The second half of the volume is a world survey of national (and sub-national) flags by continent, followed by a discussion of international flags, regional and local flags, religious and church flags, and the flags and banners of social and political movements and causes.
As in Smith's earlier book (which this author several times quotes), the flags depicted here, both historical and current, are absolutely accurate in color and dimensions and the detailed history of each design and its local cultural meanings is excellent.

 Andrew Fraser-Vol 5 No 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
If monarchists are ever to achieve a decisive victory, they must not rely upon republicans to shoot themselves in the foot, once again, with another deeply flawed model of the “politician’s republic.” Should republicans succeed in their campaign to abolish the constitutional monarchy, the repercussions will be felt far beyond Australia’s shores.
Indeed, the fate of what used to be called the British race may very well hang on the outcome of this constitutional battle: The abolition of the monarchy in Australia would weaken the institution elsewhere, further fracturing the already fragile sense of kinship between the peoples of Britain and the old settler dominions.
Despite the fact that the English, the Welsh, the Scots, and the Irish were separate and distinct, albeit closely related ethnic groups, theyhad all taken on a common, or British, civic identity by the end of the eighteenth century.

 Electrolite: President Sissy.
I wouldn't know about the Canadian Parliament - all the Canadians I've ever known were polite, pleasant and unassuming people - but the Australian Parliament, and particularly its lower house, has always had a rep for being one of the true bearpits of politics.
This is a chamber in which a Prime Minister described the upper house as "unrepresentative swill" and the opposition as "scumbags" and "maggots".
So I'm only assuming the Canadian and Australian Parliaments are similar in tone to the English one, and that his handlers don't want footage of Bush being booed.
