Baldrick Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 An Aboriginal elder sat in his hut eyeing two government officials sent to interview him. One official said to him, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he has done." The elder nodded in agreement. "Considering all these events," the official continued, "in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The elder stared at the two government officials for over a minute, then calmly replied: "When white man found the land, Aboriginals were running it. No taxes. No debt. Plenty kangaroo. Plenty fish. Women did all the work. Medicine man free. Aboriginal man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex." Then the elder leaned back and smiled before adding, "Only white man bloody stupid enough to think he could improve system like that."
