Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness



One of the advantages of living in a city the size of Sydney is that you get a more substantial press, well, you'd expect it.

Sydney journalist Steve Dow, the author of "Gay", touched on quite a few important aspects of everyday life in his article "The good, the mad and the spiritually wealthy" in the Sydney Morning Herald.

A basic factual error tainted an otherwise reasonable piece - "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is not a phase in the US Bills of Rights. Rather, it first appeared in the US Declaration of Independence.

No, I haven't watched the movie on the big screen. It's not featuring very high on my pursuit of happiness.
