Foxy,

refering to your last posting.
HE believes he is the happiest man on earth!
Well I can direct you to places where there are MANY "happiest men on earth", their called mental institutions.
Listen, if you want to believe that he's the happiest man on earth, by all means join him in one of the many institutions.
If he wishes to forgive and forget the atrocities, the horrors that he himself has spoken of, he is allowed to, BUT, I will not allow it, as much as I want the whole mess to be forgotten and stop it being brought up again and again, I for one do not want to hear of it any more, and only mental deficients want to relive it again and again.
By keeping it in the public domain continually, having people refer to it, does not stop it from not happening again, in fact quite the opposite.
If he truly does not want it to happen again then I suggest he stop talking and writing about it, and in time it will be relegated to history where it belongs, never to be heard of again, now that's how you ensure that something/history will never be repeated.
Jesus Foxy, and other's how smart must you be to pander to such a painful memory?
I don't care how old he is, or whatever, I don't doubt for ione second that he's a nice guy, and I would like him, but just as you would care about someone you like/love, I would tell him to stop bringing up and propagating a most heinous act and time in history.

Alt Rave,

Strange: you were whingeing about Eddie Jaku having a forgiving nature, that HE should be whingeing, not forgiving. Now you have the cheek to call HIM a Whinger.

Look in the mirror once in a while. And despair.

Dear Joe,

Yes the "look in the mirror"is a good suggestion.

The mirror does not lie (and lucky for him it
doesn't laugh).

Part Aboriginal, Anthony Dillon, reminds us today that it is four years since Bill Leak’s cartoon of an Aboriginal policeman telling an Aboriginal father that he should teach his child personal responsibility brought screams of ‘racism’ from the usual mob. They couldn’t say why the advice was ‘racist’, and nothing much has changed in four years.

As Dillon says “ …. rent-a-crowds, BLM groupies and keyboard warriors are still …. profoundly reluctant to discuss child neglect and abuse in Aboriginal communities”.

No. They prefer to shriek about ‘evil’ white people and their failure to, magically, close a gap that, truth be known, they don’t want closed because it would not suit their agenda of division through identity politics.

I don't think that any of us can really speak on
behalf of our Indigenous people unless we've walked in
their shoes - be it about cartoons, jokes at their
expense or what goes on in their communities while we
comfortably live in our big cities.

That's why it is good that the government has decided to
listen to the people and the communities that are
affected badly and need help with solving issues like
abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence, incarceration,
health, employment, training and education, suicide, and
so on. The government has seen the need to support
initiatives led by Indigenous communities to
address the priorities identified by the communities.

I think that all of us would like to see some positive
results happen.

Hi Joe,

Just as a side, how much vegetable garden, growing a big verity, everything from pumpkins to carrots, do you think one woman in her thirties, and one girl child about 12 years old, attending school, could manage? Given good soil, very good rainfall, hand tools only, plus one very helpful horse, not much other help, permanent stream for hand watering, remember the good rainfall, flat bottom land. How about about 5 or 6 acres, if you knew what you were doing. Do you think that would be possible?
