"Such is life"

In the 1870's, A bushranger in the badlands of Australia named "Ned" Kelly eventually became a folk hero and symbol of resistance against universal oppression. His family was unfairly persecuted by local authorities, so he formed a gang and started robbing banks, to finance world-wide insurrection, (by) ...first implementing a 'regional strategy.' He took hostages, killed a sheriff, and almost single-handedly charged a platoon of armed constables while wearing medieval-style armor. Captured and hanged, his followers today view the struggle in religious and proletarian terms,... he is a new Robin Hood and Che, an inspiration to the downtrodden everywhere.... whether or not he really invisioned a Free Victorian Republic or not is moot-his legacy endures...
