Foxy: John Pilger gives us the facts of what's still happening out in the Aboriginal sectors of the community in 21st Century Australia.

Which of the different Aboriginal community is he referring to? Is it the "Whiteman's fault" that Aboriginal people in the Settlements don't have good hygiene habits in regards with keeping themselves, their children, their houses, yards, streets & parks clean & tidy? Is it the "Whiteman's fault that the Aboriginal houses in these communities have broken windows, Walls punched in & $#it everywhere? I don't think so. But the Whiteman seems to get the blame somehow. Like WE went there & punched in their walls & $#it all over the place.

The solutions foisted on the Aboriginal people fail because they have been thought up by some Politically Correct overeducated Public Service Dogooder who is only looking after HIS job. If ANY of their solutions had worked these people wouldn't be in the position they are in now. These people are receiving their great salary's & funds on false pretences.
"

Foxy: We need to ask why this is happening and what can be done to correct it.

As I have stated before, this is like a woman's problem solving skills. "I don't want you to solve the problem. I just want you to listen to me." Sorry for the misogyny there, but that's a fact, like it or not. If the problem gets solved they might lose their well paid salaries & funding. The culture is to spread the problem out as long as possible.

Foxy: people like Mr Pilger urge us to continue to
search for the truth about our past in order to prepare for
and safeguard our future. Perhaps in that way we shall come
up with solutions that will work.

It's commonly called Navel Gazing. Or, let's have another meeting in which we will all agree to disagree, again. Good money in Meetings.

Sorry Foxy, but I lost faith in these over paid problem Solvers many, many years ago.

No word from Pilger. None from Costello with his Forum either.

Dear Jayb,

You always challenge me to think outside the box
and for that I am grateful. I don't pretend to have
all the answers to the big questions regarding this
complex problem, and it is complex as you point out.
What the answers are I don't know. What do you suggest
we do as a nation? We can't keep doing what we've been
doing as it obviously isn't working and we shall keep getting
the same results. However what suggestion do you have?
I'd be interested to hear.

Foxy: You always challenge me to think outside the box and for that I am grateful.

Thanks for that Foxy. The thing I find about bashing your head against a brick wall is, it feels good when you stop. According to the many Personality & IQ tests I've had to do during my working career a Critical Thinker with a high IQ. Apparently I'm a Meetings worst nightmare.

Foxy: I don't pretend to have all the answers to the big questions regarding this complex problem.

I don't have answers to any of the Big Questions in Life either but I have ventured suggestions from time to time on Forum. Usually I get shot down, which is fine. They are an attempt to put forward an idea for a solution. I've asked others for their ideas & have been told quite bluntly, "It's not my job to solve the problems." Like I said before no-one wants to fix the problem they just want you to listen to them bitch about it.

I have a list of solutions, 8 pages long. I send them to Politicians all the time. Simple things like, At what age are you considered an Adult? 12 Airlines, 14 Movies, 16 Sex, 17 Drive, 18 Drink, 25 School. etc,. Let's have a uniform age. I now sent them to the likes of Steve Price & Kyle Sandilands. No reply from them either.

I think, on the Aboriginal Problem, their need to be schooling for the Adults in Basic & Advanced Hygiene. Some White people could do with this course as well, going by some of the reports on some Current Affairs Programs.

Dear Jayb,

Don't be put off by people's reactions.
Keep up the good work and keep going with your
suggestions especially to the pollies. Someday
you'll get someone's attention who matters.
I think it was Calvin Coolridge who wrote:

"Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more
common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan "Press On" has solved
and always will solve the problems of the human race."

And so it is with our Indigenous people.

Thank You for being so open and honest.

Take care and I'll see you on another discussion.

Never had any input from John Pilger on this article. I think that if he writes an article her is obliged to give some input to argument. Otherwise he is just like all the other over paid Government parasites.

Dear Jayb,

I suspect that Mr Pilger is so busy that he's probably
not even aware of who's responding to his articles,
what and where. He, I imagine writes so many of them,
gives permission for their publication, and moves on.
I would be very surprised if he read any of the responses
or responded to any of them. He's far too buys.

How about emiling him if you feel so strongly about getting
a response?
