Took the children away

Here is a great song by Archie Roach. I thought it was timely considering the whirl wind of a week for Indigenous Australia:



And now I have another question - is it possible to be with someone you have absolutely nothing in common with? Especially when it comes to political leanings?

I have a friend who's mother is Aboriginal and naturally a lefty but is married to a white righty. Lovely people, both of them and they seem to get a long fine but they do clash on a lot of things, especially on Indigenous issues. They seem to work. But I've just been thinking that I wouldn't be able to do it.

I think if two people in a relationship are so obviously in opposition to each other in regards to issues that are close to the heart, then there really is no point continuing.

I didn't really want to come to that conclusion but it is only logical.

But anyway, that's enough badly veiled ambiguity for today's entry!
