Post Reply: Australian new flag, what happened?

It's not a question of apologizing LL. That's for moralist, whiners, theologians and philosophers. It's a question of remembering history good and bad and acknowledging the influence of the British empire in Aussieland.

The pc wacks down there as a result of a misguided sense of cultural diversity wanted to incorporate a 'gay pride' 'black liberation theology' type, emblem representative of all cultures in the flag as I understood it.

Not necessary. But it's their's not mine.

And as you well know...ya known me for a while now; I admit to the poor treatment of the abos from a moral perspective as a human being with a sense of morality.... even tho not often voiced. But as a historian, I know damn well that wasn't the only place it ever occurred. And I understand the contextual reasons why as well.

Otoh, I don't confuse either with the record or attempt to obfuscate it with a pre arranged agenda of what ever type...good or bad. I merely know their both part of the record.

And that's the gawdamn story I'm sticking with eh. lol.
