SM,

I though you favoured the gulag over the reservation for Indigenous people.

When in Hawaii the wife asked a local Hawaiian, a real Hawaiian; "Where is your land?" Seems under the Homestead Act native Hawaiians are prevented form owning land.

Paul,

When you grow up you might recognise sarcasm.

P.S. Gulags are a socialist thing.

Gulags are a socialist thing?

Perhaps a visit to the Cowra Japanese War Cemetery
might be educational.

And lets not mention the Pacific gulags.

Foxy,

"The Gulag was a system of Soviet labour camps and accompanying detention and transit camps and prisons. From the 1920s to the mid-1950s it housed political prisoners and criminals of the Soviet Union. At its height, the Gulag imprisoned millions of people."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his book "The Gulag Archipelago,"
exposed the Soviet System. My own family members experienced
it.

Australia's detention centres on remote Pacific Islands
have been labelled "gulags" and reports of the horrors
committed under the watch of Australian officials have been
reported. History has recorded the Aboriginal gulags, Books have
been written about Australia's gulags of shame regarding the
Japanese and we have "Gulag NT" which spends more money pro
capita on police and corrections than any other Australian
jurisdiction.

It was Holocaust survivor Primo Levi who wrote in his last
book, "The Drowned and the Saved," that:

"Many signs lead us to think of a genealogy of today's
violence that was dominant in Hitler's Germany."

As it of course was in Stalin's Soviet Union.

And if we turn even further back, that same genealogy becomes
clearer and more compelling.

The risk of comparison is always that it may become equation.
By interrogating the ways in which diverse histories
are also contiguous we may avoid the pitfall and ensure that
this barbarous lineage ends now, with us.

Shadow, I've always believed you to be a socialists.....A NATIONAL SOCIALISTS!

For one who claims to be a "man of legal letters", remember the 'Beat Up' Bolt and 'Cry Baby' Porter cases you pontificated on, you sure know nothing about the law, or the Constitution for that matter.
