In a literal sense, we recognised them in 1967. However, in a social justice sense we still do not do enough to give them a sense of control over their own lives. But I guess this is the case with all fringe-livers, not just Aborigines.<br /><br />Each day, I walk through the most debased area of Sydney.

The mentally impaired are mixed.<br /><br />However, the people I met and mixed with on Saturday were from this same area. They were the same mixture of races. They were articulate. They were caring. They were involved. I think, maybe, that race has little to do with it. It is something to do with the resources we are born with that give us the ability to take chances when we see them. If this is the case, then some of us owe these people.
