    The aborigine people, whom I'd like to meet.  Their art of the dream time is beautiful and I'm sure their wisdom is equal.

    In a legal sense they weren't until 1967. The difference between Australia and South Africa is that RSA was honest about it.

      That’s an extremely racist viewpoint/defense: human beings weren’t actually human beings until the Caucasians who invaded their land and carried out a campaign of genocide and discrimination against them declared them to be human beings based on Caucasian’s “laws”.

    Again, you are completely miscontruing what I said (and a finger pointing back at myself, with a great-great-great-grandmother being of the Wiradjuri nation). I'm deploring the situation, not applauding it. Australia was an incredibly racist nation and too much of it still is - Google Pauline Hanson, a modern day Hitler. South Africa was honest about its apartheid regime, Australia had a situation almost as bad but never admitted it.

    Once you get there, wouldn't there be another edge a zillion light years away?

      Gee, now that you mention it, you’ve made me realize that besides me, no other male has ever been down there . . .
