Subject: RE: Eureka stockade 150 years old
Ooh-Ah2, Welcome. You are quite right. We heard that Radio National broadcast too. Wasn't it Geoffrey Blainey with Phillip Adams? The ABC is so valuable. We worry about it a lot in these times. I got rather side-tracked over one particular bit of history rewriting, but it wasn't the important bit. Thank you for bringing us back to the really important part. You and the old pooparoo are so right.
(My particular problem is that every time I open my mouth and sing someone says, "What a lovely old Irish song." or some such. I get a bit weary of hearing how everything has Irish roots.)
It's so good to have people speaking up for facts. The idea that it's not the truth that's important, but the what people feel takes us into realms I'd rather we didn't go. Cheers, Joy
