I actually received this very petition from a friend a couple of hours ago. Here's what I wrote back:
--
I'll tell you why that stupid petition is stupid:
a) there's fuck all the Australian government can do about it beyond what they are already doing and what they plan to do in the future
b) a hippy email ring is NOT going to change this
c) the government is more than aware of the political suicide it would be to allow Miss Corby to be executed. They don't actually need this pointed out to them by angry vegans who think it is virtuous to jump on any vaguely anarchistic bandwagon.
Thank you for listening and for not forwarding stupid shit to me ever again.
Sincerely
Me
