Dear Belly,

You're spot on.

Thank You for the advice.

It's a beautiful day in Melbourne this morning.

I'm going out with my grandchildren to see
"The Lion King" Disney movie late this afternoon.
Prior to that we're having fun in the Park.

Enjoy your week-end.

Sounds great Foxy, missed my market day bit to unwell
Try another tomorrow
Hurts seeing even second generation migrants try to play down our first people
Not unusual but hurts still

Belly, don't concern yourself on the fate of a group of unworthy, disrespectful, entitled, arrogant, selfish lot.
I sense you might be more deserving of some of the attention and health care than this undeserving lot.
You see, you stick up for them and want to help them.
Who sticks up for you and comes to help you in your times of need and days/times of ill health.
One of my biggest beefs is typically one such as yours.
It behoves us to ensure YOUR well being before that of those younger and healthier, even if they are black.
Stay strong!

Foxy,

Rather than expect us to buy books of your choosing (I would never dare ask anybody to do that), why don't you just tell us:

* . what plants were cultivated, and where ?

* . where (museums, etc.) we can see ancient cultivating and harvesting tools;

* . where there might be remnants of storage pits: ancient storage pits have been excavated in China containing 100 tonnes of rice, from around 8000 years ago; or fences, to keep animals out of the precious crop;

* . 'right across the continent' means, for most people, almost everywhere. Are you saying that the two-thirds of Australia covered by desert and semi-desert, was being cultivated ?

If someone suggested that hunting and gathering, highly skilled and vital pursuits, were engaged in 'right across the continent', I think there would be vastly more evidence from Day One right up to the sixties, covering every corner of the continent, in thousands of books.

Why do you denigrate hunting and gathering so much and pretend it barely happened when we all know it did ?

"I am well represented on the net" Yeah Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. All those exclusive sites have ALTRAV as a member. Your'e a legend in your own lunchtime.

Paul, has anyone told you lately?
Mate you've got a problem.
A word of advice, your cheap shots are exposing YOU and YOUR character, not mine.
Don't waste your postings on such rhetoric and forcing others, like me right now, to respond.
I regard the postings as special and cringe at the idea of wasting them on irrelevant personal attacks and gutter snipes.
