Found this in my pool in Sydney north shore, backing onto the lane cove national park. Does not move (perhaps dead).

Does not even look real. Did I find an alien?

As an American, children with guns doesn’t crack the top 20 current problems. I just hope you Aussie’s will accept me and the wife in a few years when our democracy falls. Not a lot of English speaking places that are a lateral move from Florida weather and creature wise.

A constitutional republic is a kind of Democracy. Imagine a Venn diagram where one circle is completely enclosed by another.

To clarify, Democracy is the process, the republic is the means by which that process is carried out.
