I just fear that my activities online over decades might finally bite me in the arse, by way of children and their spawn, when China eventually invades Australia for the farmland and ore/petroleum resources, and locks us down in ghettos formally known as Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, and Perth...
