Hi Trumpster,

"my copy of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles." Try looking up FACETIOUS. That's on Google as well.

How about addressing the fact Blainey never actually spoke to Aboriginal people about anything, maybe that was because they were too black for a white dude like Blainey to speak to. Same with Buckley, probably illiterate. I would think to boost book sales Buckley's ghost writer, the journalist John Morgan might have gilded the lily somewhat, besides Buckley was a convicted criminal, couldn't lie straight in bed! If I wanted to write about the Eskimos, don't you think it would be a good idea to speak to some Eskimos first. Just a few words like, "Do you guys ever trade women with other tribes?"

Hi Kudos Kid,

I am shocked and mortified, you have not included me for a little of you wonderful Kudos. I feel rejected, shunned, cast out, unwanted. Please, please, can I have just a little of your wonderful Kudos, I'll trade you some of my Pixi Dust for it. Ah?

I looked up 'FACETIOUS'. It said its a word used by liars trying to get out of being found to be lying.

"the fact Blainey never actually spoke to Aboriginal people about anything,"

That's not a fact. It something you made up. Read Triumph of the Nomads for more information. Its probably right next to your copy of the Chronicles.

Buckley lived with the aboriginals for 30 years. He might know a little about their culture. But since you don't want it to be true, you'll never accept the facts. That's why your always on the wrong side of history.
