Goodness me.

Such reactions - even in French, no less.

"Un jour, je ne le prendrai pas faire marche arriere!"

Take it easy folks.

Graham,

You stated that I'm not interested in arguing with
you because I'm wrong. Really? Well I guess you
think that, because you're convinced that you're right.
Ok. Therefore there's really not much more to be said is there.
I'm wrong, you're right. I based my opinion on presented
facts and judgements by Larissa, Bolt, the judge,court
transcripts,
and if those facts are not correct according to you,
then I guess that does make you the authority.

Hey, can we get the discussion back on track? It's par for the course that Ammonite is going to be snarky with me. I try, not always successfully I will admit, to ignore it.

BTW, I'm surprised that no-one has picked-up on the fact that Larissa's father's new partner, Roberta Sykes, had a serious case to answer about her purported aboriginality, as her mother said she was the daughter of a US Negro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbi_Sykes.

So the syndrome that Bolt alludes to does exist.

However, I'm not convinced that it necessarily has anything to do with money. My older three children have an aboriginal great great grandmother which was only found out in the last ten or so years.

I remember my older daughter asking me whether this made her an Aborigine, which surprised me as I pointed out to her she was much more Scottish, English and Irish, with a bit of Dutch and Italian thrown in.

I've wondered ever since why the question even arose in her mind, and while I'm not sure even now, I think it has something to do with an attitude in society from those who are racist that any amount of non-European blood "tars" you. So perhaps the trend of identifying as Aboriginal, even when it is only a small part of your racial heritage, is a reaction against that.

Sorry :( I should have also said, thanks for defending me. I appreciate it. :)

Graham,

It's nice to be appreciated.

But I thought the whole purpose of the discussion
was Andrew Bolt.

ab/origonal...inhabiting or egsisting
in a land..from the earliest times
or from before the arival of colonists

from ab ori..'from the beginning'

jew a member of a people
who trace their ORIGONS..to judea

we are all aborigonal..[from somwhere]
we are not all from judea
but do all come from eve

adam gave us living sperm
eve gave us a living egg

god breathed life into adam
adam gave his dna..[minus that 'y' chromosone]..to eve]

life from life
god lives thus we live

the first people here..
use a capital A and a capital B
let A=adam..[Xy]..and B=eve[XX]

the AB/origonal
and the judean origonal both use the rite
and by the rite claim the right

but we are all
equally gifted our life
from the one SAME good..[god]

we are ALL..mortal heirs..[enjoined]
of the IMMORTAL holy spirit..

[the good [god]..of life logic love and light]
logus

the AB origonal
or the judea/origonal
is splitting heirs..we all can claim origonalisty

wether it be AB-origonality
or J-orogonality
ot B-origonality

or origonality is inherited equally

now race is a different issue
its a race to the bottum

any who judge of race
have no personal claim..any higher than any other claim

in fact any claim to race is lame

god made creation
we changed creation
but my peoople tell me

*WE ARE A PART OF THE LAND[creation]..
just as your hand is a part of your body

we are equal's..not under law..[cause mainly law id for just/us]

we are nnot equal under law
but by right..[god given right]

lets try to be the people
the god good of grace and generosity and gregriarity deserves

after all
he serves EACH of us..our life
why are we are not..what he DE-serves?

Gee I wish we could separate Bolt and the issue of the ruling, and its impacts.
And it would be great to know how many Australians could add to my true story.
Even better if we actually saw some action on it.
But I ask too much
Ammonite, my regards, I was getting a complex about my inability to get on with you.
No doubt my views on this issue reserve a special spot in hell for me.
