First the aboriginals, now the lost Australians, perhaps Kevin 07 should make a point of apologising to someone new every day from now on until his sorry butt is kicked out of government. Kevin if you are listening, here are a few suggestions:

• Apologise to every child who was never allowed to stay up late and watch the late movie
• Apologise to every husband whose wife ever had a headache
• Apologise to every wife whose husband couldn't last more than a few minutes, or worse still couldn't get it up at all
• Apologise to every person who ever had a delayed departure at the airport
• Apologise to every person who ever missed an appointment because the bus was too late.
• Apologise to every Australian that you were ever born

Seriously, with the exception of the last one, all of these apologies would be about as relevant as the one to the aborigines and so-called lost Australians.

You play the cards you are dealt. Over time, you will start to notice that the cards you are dealt become better. Or do they? Perhaps it has more to do with your increased confidence and greater skill at playing the game. Life works in the same way. Stop playing to the weeping and whinging wimps who refuse to take responsibility to make the best out of what they have and create a better life, and who instead would rather blame everyone else but themselves for their situation.

I don't see Silvio Berlusconi apologising to most of Europe and the region for the Roman Empire!!! And although the Germans politicians are still pretty sensitive about their recent history, many Germans rightly feel that it is time to move on.... and it is ... also in Australia. The current generations are not at fault nor are they to blame. The people you need to vent your anger at are six feet under so if you want to connect with them, either find religion or slash your wrists.
