In a world where daring to ask a question of a politician is sufficient cause for a gross invasion of privacy, and it is OK for the media to solicit schoolgirls for inside dirt on the wife of a presidential candidate, but it is somehow racist to apply that same scrutiny to an actual candidate, there is some good left after all.
The concept of a “fair go” has been hijacked by all sorts of malcontents over recent years, but it is uplifting to know that real examples of giving someone a real fair go still exist. Even if this is an American example, it really typifies what a fair go is all about. It will warm the cockles of your heart.
I’m also moved to sit down and watch the LOTR extended edition following Rachel Lucas’ stirring post.
Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of men fails,when we forsake our friendsand break all bonds of fellowship,but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields,when the age of men comes crashing down,but it is not this day!
This day we fight!!
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!
I’m such a geek at times.
Is that so?

Goodness, Sharpie, that basketball vid's made me cry!
That person who wrote the "Fair Go" piece is a fool.
Sorry.
A blind fool.
Why can't anyone see the facts? The aboriginal people want apartheid. They want to live in remote areas.
So many people who profess to want to help the aboriginal people (or "My People" as some of these activists call them...), keep this industry going so that they can line their own pockets.
Why can't people see this?
Money has been thrown at the problem for years. It hasn't worked.
The health issues can be attributed to poor diet and not looking after themselves.
As well as not having the health care they need - which would be impossible to provide to every small, remote community. Look at Palm Island and other places where there are riots and whites are attacked - who'd want to work there?
Ok. I'll zip now.
Oh, there are communities which work and where there is an excellent community spirit and people look after eachother. It can happen. It does.
But the change needs to come from within.
