I thought in that moment in our history it was a good decision to highlight the success of a person of aboriginal desent who had succeeded at the highest level (she was a world cham at the time).

I thought it was great.

That's my personal opinion which I am entitled to.

Others are also entitled to their own view

Its a free country..........................for most.

thats fine. I am not attacking your viewpoint.

Thank you for calling me a brainwashed moron. I may be many things, but that I am not.

You are entitled to your opinion as am I... but you'll note above I didn't directly insult you - I just set parameters that you may or may not have fallen into
