Oh, are you suffering from these same frequently and explicitly stated
"I'm not guilty" sorts of guilt trip so noticable among the colonials
too, Philip?
Um, perhaps you can enlighten us all as to the reasons the idea of
guilt is invoked to start with? I mean, why bother?
Guilty about what, may I ask?
Odd that the cry rings so loudly whenever indigenous people, or land
rights, or even Landcare are mentioned in such circles. Remarkable
correlation, that!
Sufficuent to attract the curious attention of even the most lax of
social scientists.

Gee thanks! Nice to get such positive feedback from all my fans.
