But now if I do it just implies that I'm into incest so.... maybe I'll just keep that to myself.

Tasmania and my home state of WA have all the inter-married cousins, but it's all above board 
But when you go looking for horror stories about groups living outside of the gaze of regular society and getting up to some really crazy gak, then it seems to me to always coming from outer Adelaide or rural NSW.
It's like if you hear about a crazy person who's shunned from society, you know it won't be Queensland because up there they embrace their crazies

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

It's a solid motto for any state:

Huzzah for Palmer and his crazy obsession with Jurassic Park and Titanic! Hurrah for Steve Irwin and his awesomeness (R.I.P)
There are some crazies we can't stand, though...
