Ella, never knew that about Bob Brown, but very interesting,
Meridae'n, i gotta take issue with you there soldier. Im not sure what you mean about Johnny not saying sorry for something that never happened. I think we gotta say sorry cause it expresses our sympathy and empathy toward past injustices, which i can assure you did take place. Its not so much as an apology but as a recognition of bad stuff that took place. Futher, if we are gonna move foward with all the problems facing our ab. population (poverty, social probs etc), we gotta face the past before we can face the future. I think its the least we can do personally. Also, i think you gotta remember that we came here as 'boat people' (well, my starving Irish ancestors did) and a whole lot of them (the boat people) are in fact genuine asylum seekers. I dunno, i just think we gotta have a little more compassion toward our fellow human beings.
