Our primary care physician has stopped taking new Medicare patients. There is just no money in it--HA!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551487014503653423.post-64641744083785663222011-01-21T07:50:26.824+00:002011-01-21T07:50:26.824+00:00Haha JJ, I like your image of Australians as Beowu...Haha JJ, I like your image of Australians as Beowulf! Although aside from making a (perhaps overly simplistic) jibe at a previous track-record of "just taking" in English history, I was really trying to make the point that in pre-historic Australia, whilst one vital ingredient, human ingenuity, was certainly present to light the spark of agriculture, cities and roads, the others, namely a grain or herd animal suitable for domestication, or a annually flooding river, were not.<br /><br />Roxy, I completely agree that it is always awe-inspiring thinking of the ways that ancient humans must have scraped an existence against all the odds and at the same time manage to develop and pass down a culture which we can still appreciate today.<br /><br />Judie, I can definitely second your film recommendation. It is a very good exposition of a really terrible chapter in Australian history.Tom Hakkinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320029007805632871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551487014503653423.post-87835474772539071912011-01-21T02:36:23.824+00:002011-01-21T02:36:23.824+00:00This is a wonderful article, and I thoroughly enjo...This is a wonderful article, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! For any of your readers who might be interested in race relations in Australia, please rent the film "Rabbit-proof Fence," It is a wonderful film about the subject of race in Australia many years ago.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551487014503653423.post-28404986124783979692011-01-21T00:21:39.169+00:002011-01-21T00:21:39.169+00:00Very interesting post.

That they survived at all is remarkable, but recording their culture through carvings in stone makes them even more impressive. Had I been in their place, my clan would probably have gone extinct.Roxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787088898112141579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551487014503653423.post-92201337783830117622011-01-19T00:28:29.841+00:002011-01-19T00:28:29.841+00:00Wow!

Those historical sites are precious and no government should look upon its residents as monstrous. I didn't realize Beowulf was Australian.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692103477055483000noreply@blogger.com
