Has our national obsession hijacked centenary commerations of the great war

I don't believe that we as a nation celebrating the war and remembering people dying is a very good way of moving this nation forward. But i do believe that celebrating ANZAC Day has been ill affected. We celebrate by having a minute of silence. As well as that Australia spends more then any other country due to Australia trying to make Anzac Day bigger and better each year. Our National Identity is now reflected by celebrating Anzac Day and our military.

Poem

I believe that Bruce Dawes used AFL football to explore the human life cycle to the fact that when your born you follow a team from birth and how the AFL ladder is like going up to heaven and the using of the demon and Saints. I don't think this would work with another sport due to the sports being somewhat similar to each other. Carn is a Australia way of saying come on at the footy when the team is doing poorly.
