(Note: "bogan" is apparently Australian slang, something along the lines of "white trash.")

Every year, I think my annual bogan baby names list will be the last because surely I’ve covered every bogan name in Australia.

But every year, Aussie parents prove me wrong. Oh-so-wrong.

Those names are all too similar to the ones bestowed on white trash chilluns in my area.    I think I'll start using the word "bogan."  :silly:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
