[Alex] Waiting for an apology? No, not really. There's every chance and a bit more that I'm a product of those invasions. It'd be like a snake eating its tail - pointless.
What I'd like to see - and it does not apply to the aboriginal people as a group/nation/tribe - is trying to sort out the problems of all underprivileged people.
In saying that I mean no disrespect to Darryl. My fear is that we could be turning into the same society and with the same aims as our forefathers. The aboriginal people of this country are not pets to be pampered, they are people - just like everyone else who is lucky enough to live here. As others have said: Let's get rid of the 'us' and 'them' mind set and simply try to sort out the problems - whatever they might be.
