'Labor' is the original Latin for 'toil' no? Still a bastardisation though !wink!

'Labour, favour and neighbour' are much more refined.

I am amazed at how our voters have overwhelmingly supported the incomming Prime Minister - Kevin Rudd because many people find him slimey like a bad used car salesman. But often elections are about choosing the least worst candidate. Its like - "What will it be then sir, your hands chopped off or your eyes poked out?"
