And just, my God you have made me so angry! *Australia* has decided that a great wrong has been done to Aborigines, and I'm not going to waste my time digging up all of the information about the genocide we perpetrated upon these people in our invasion of the land. All of Australia decided, (including the Aborigines) that we did do a great wrong, and it is not up to anyone else to just dismiss it. Go bloody well comment on your own country where you know the facts. >>>I donot admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a strongerrace, a higher grade race, a more worldly-wise race, to put it that way, has comein and taken their place.<<< not a *stronger* race, a more *violent* and *self-justifying* race. Which doesn't make it right, and we have not "taken their place". ______________________________________________________________ Student Electronic Services - Curtin University of Technology
