The Best-Laid Plans of Mice and Men Often Go Awry...

During my quiet reflection about apologising, inspired by the events of last week, I think about what it all means to me. While I certainly don't want to make light of the 'sorry day'- I think it is one of the most important days in our history, I do think it's important to reflect within ourselves. This could be a big step forward for Australia. As PK said in the power of one, " a waterfall starts with a single drop."

This is only too true.

So, for all my reflecting, what did I come up with? Nothing terribly groundbreaking I'm afraid, but it did make me wonder if we will ever get an apology from RE. Not for what he did to the stolen generation. As far as I am aware, he had nothing to do with it, after all, he is only 26. No, I'm wondering if, in this summer of apologies, we will recieve one for what happened to the Map of the Problematique.

It's been 2 months since Sean Bean's glorious blog and even longer since RE's last blog. His last blog was, if you believed the hype, to be revolutionary for the Map of the Problematique and it's readers. A blog, no less, which would bring us, the traditionalist administrators and you the readers, up from our comical slums to the lofty heights of his Chateau D'Intelligence.

My oh my how even the best intended policies can fail.

"ALways opinionated; always controversial; and always topical, he's done it again. Casting off the shackles of our traditionalist administrators I'm putting another brave foot forward." RE,December 6, 2007.

As the media sun begins to set on the 'sorry day' stories only time will tell if this year will be the year that reconcilliation really starts to occur. For myself though, I can't help but wonder if we, the children of the blog, will have to wait 30 odd years before we hear an apology from RE.

One thing is certain, by then, Funkmaster D will have no hair.
