Hi Rebecca, Thanks for writing in.

Do you really think that accusations of
narrow-mindedness will
convince people of the truthfulness of your argument? If you wish to let people know your point of view, feel free to set up a
website and explain it. Then set up a discussion forum so that people can ask
about your belief set.

No argument there. I'll stop criticising people just as soon as they stop
trying to take my money and control my life.
>> Not that that will ever happen in my life time.
Well, it hasn't happened in the first seven million years of human evolution -
it would be a little conceited to think that it would happen in your lifetime
wouldn't it?

Um .. Rebecca, "your people" were fighting long before the Europeans arrived.
I suggest you look a bit closer at "your people's" history.

Yes. That's what happens
when socialism is
inflicted on a population.

Dependency is a choice, Rebecca. People have
the right to take
whatever substances they like. But exercising that right does not
entitle them to my money, or the right to control my life, does it?

Maybe you could set an example to the rest of the Aboriginal population by
publicly denouncing the continual calls for other peoples money? Maybe people would be more inclined to take you seriously then.
