Random Note – Australia’s Slaves
Listening to Tony Abbott give a 9-minute thumbnail history of Australia and particularly touching on the early convict years, I felt compelled to add a point. Whereby many people point to America with its dark history of black African slaves who built much of the...
Random Note — Could America be about to do the unthinkable and unimaginable
