Total Rantage
Feb. 17th, 2008 02:55 pm One of the problems with working, I think, is that it is generally frowned upon to be rude to, or to punch, customers. Which is a shame.
Last week the government finally apologised to the stolen generations. That is a fantastic thing, something that meant so much to so many people. Indigenous Australia deserves something good to try to even out some of the bad done since colonisation, and there are still so many suffering from the irreparable displacement and destruction that child removal policies brought. It was a truly beautiful and moving thing to see just how deep the power of an apology goes, to see people that had been through something so unfathomably upsetting, so happy.
But there are always people who don't see that.
