Beyond a few conclusions drawn from from yahoo.com, bbc online and such
suspect sources, Ms Cam*eron clearly knows little about Aboriginal or
African societies.

The fact is that is not long ago that Aborigines were shot and poisoned in
large numbers for desecrating the sacred property (sic) of white squatters
in Australia and elsewhere -- something on which Ms Cam*eron is notably
silent -- and the case brought before the high court does serve the useful
purpose of publicizing in a public forum the illegitimate and capricious
manner in which colonial law was, and continues to be, imposed on the
Aboriginal people.

Ms Cam*eron's Ghana quote is equally ridiculous and out of context -- not
surprising for one for whom Africa, its history and people, are no more
concrete than a google search.

Lou has clearly made the correct decision, keeping Ms Cam*eron and her
exterminist diatribes off his list.
