Starfish: I'm all too happy to introduce you to Betty's story. There are so many indigenous women like her. Strong, political, radical, brilliant women who are never heard of by our mainstream world. I have no idea if it is bad netiquette. I certainly am not offended. You can quote Betty Little as much as you like as far as I'm concerned. Dissenter: Aren’t they just.

When someone tells you to just hear what is being said and not try to fix it up, this makes matters worse... "My past twenty-five years have been about doing Koori cultural presentations to hundreds of people to build bridges of understanding between black and white Australians... </i> Thanks, Allecto, for bringing Betty Little’s story to my attention.
