Aborigines have been persecuted and murdered in their hundreds by their police while in 'protective' custody. Nothing muchhas changed in Australia since the days when organised 'Aborigine shoots' were organised by farmers to 'clear'their land. The Government continually coversup such incidents...how will these atrocities be stopped when we all know how 'crooked' the Australian policeforce is? Why don't the people of Australia help the Aborigine populations from such treatment?....

Wouldn't it be ironic if they took back all of the US by our rules, if one day a rez police officer came and evicted me from my home. I would smile, pack up my stuff and leave.
It's a going round the world kicking shite out of militarily weaker races and cultures. American Continent, Wales, Australasian Continent, Diego Garcia, African Continent, Iraq, India etc etc.
Capitalism and Imperialism stink!
I know this is a bit off the thread here. Sorry.

A little poem from Wales.
England always plays the game,
But please don't think we're fools,
'Cause if we find we're losing,
We go and change the rules.
