has the bill of rights worked in america to improved the lived experience of
ALL its citizens? no
- i am not into flogging dead horses (sorry to horses)
with all the volumes of 'our' current lore, treaties, and domestic instruments
- preamble, constitution etc
- are we 'equally' treated
all are equal 'before' the lore it already says
affirmative action says women are supposedly equal 'after' the lore
genocide is not even admitted 'in' the lore
is it a matter of words or titles - really
editing the existing 'papers' isn't going to do it for us - others have tried
it elsewhere
- wipe the slate clean and sharpen pencils
- don't be bullied
re Why is everyone so afraid of democracy?
i for one have seen what is committed in the name of democracy here
- it is not taking notice of the voice of the peoples or we would not have
genocide, the gst, hunger, unchecked rape ...
if we have more than just a notion of democracy
- why is the referendum couched in its current terms with so much public outcry
- why are people thinking about drawing boxes on ballot papers
why isn't the referendum just to get 'the people' to formalise the identity we
have had internationally for most of this century - ie a republic not a
monarchy - only some australians believe the myth that we have a queen of
australia - others want to make us think this is true
time to get really real - blank slate
- statements of 'at least' - is scraps from the table (can't remember who said
this)
again - don't be bullied - take the time to get it right for the kids
