Dear Paul,

Talking about the "average Australian."

As Poppy King said:

"Some Australians still want everyone to be average,
as if the best thing you can do is fit in."

As for Issy's book?

The covers are too far apart

Paul,

Out of your. depth again?

Appealing to Foxy won’t help as her blinkers are superb.

Oh heh - My last post "deleted/missing" - however I am trying to conact again.

Gee?

Foxy,

Why would I argue with Sutton and Walshe? What they have said does not even suggest that aboriginal societies were not primitive. That their social interactions showed signs of sophistication does not conflict that their technology was at the bottom rung of human development.

Hi Issy,

All jokes aside, about 10 years back you did give a plug for a book, remember? What was its name.

Not having read 'Dark Emu' you can try this method. When I was at High School, I didn't read a certain novel, an assignment was due the next day. A mate known as "Roughtnut" a literary numskull himself suggested I try his tried and true method to gain a pass without having actually read the book. Read the first two paragraphs of chapter one, then read the first sentence of each chapter, then read the last paragraph in the book. According to the mate you would then know all there is to know about the book in question. If the assignment is say four pages, you've got the start, the finish and the rest is just a bit of padding in the middle. All you have to do is wing it, and a pass will be yours. I tried it, my paper came back with a big fat "F", and a note, "Its obvious you have not read the book, SEE ME!" Try it with 'Dark Emu' you might be more successful.

Shadow Minister,

Sutton and Walshe's book is available today from all
good bookshops and your local library. Get hold of a
copy. Then you can post with some authority.
