Re sluggish people

Sluggishness! Ha! While I know that it is un-Wiki to type a person by race, I must say that I have never met a sluggish German in my life. Is there such a thing? Could one possibly have a whole townful of sluggish Germans? with a sluggish mayor and alderman, a sluggish bishop and canons, sluggish parishioners, sluggish street sweepers and sluggish bell ringers and sluggish butchers and bakers and candlestick-makers? Thank God for King Ludwig who got the job done! A lot of nasty things have been said about him, both in his lifetime and since, but I'm sure he was never called "sluggish"! (....thinks.... "King Ludwig the Sluggish"..... Hmmm) Amandajm (talk) 01:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that information. I am living in Australia. What you say about hard-working Southern Europeans is true. Post-War, we had thousands of migrants, with Souther Europeans making up the biggest number.

The Agora

Streets of Australian towns are long and wide

and go from here to there-

no Market Place,

no place to meet

except perhaps the Paragon

or at the giant chess set

in the War Memorial Park.

Here in the Shopping Mall it’s different.

Men with calloused hands

who came with golden vision of the fields of wheat

and green of dairy pastures by the sea,

here it is they sit

to drink their coffee from Michel’s Patisserie

and speak the topmost layers of their minds

strataed by midnight days within the mines,

forged in the steelworks

and annealed by flames of canefields

and the last spark in eyes of those

who died at Warragamba and the Snowy.

This is their market now,

their meeting place,

their open space

to air the ancient philosophic rite of Socrates

and share the daily problems and the policies

of this Australia that their hands have made.
