that is very interesting. I had read about what happened in Australia but until recently had been very ignorant.
countries that try to erase such history of their country's deeds are wrong to do that.
There is much about English History of which I have been ignorant-- I am trying to learn more. There is a very interesting programme on TV covering various wars-- We all need to learn and try not to repeat such dreadful things.
With the internet and easy access to material and books etc more information is more easily accessible.
I have been trying to read books on both sides of the equasion--. Here we hear about the Nazi war but I honestly had not known about the PAcific war which was horrendous.
Since meeting my japanese friend I have been doing a lot of research and taking an interest in Japan and its culture-- trying to teach myself the language but that is slow going. She was born in 1942 and had a very hard childhood but does not talk much about that time. I was born before the war and remember much of what happened here in England-- always being afraid when I heard an aeroplane overhead. Would it drop more bombs.
Mans inhumanity to MAN.
Our bible in the old testament is full of war war war-- so will we ever change.
It is good to hear from you.
