In a way the US was quite lucky in that they wiped out or assimilated their aboriginals before political correctness was invented.
Nowadays, everybody is in the media spotlight and nobody can do anything without everybody else crying them down, so Australia (which had 100 years less of a start on the US, and doesn't even have full independence yet) has still got some aborigines to contend with. Enough to make it ugly for them in the media, if the media weren't in on the act anyway. Which they are.
Did you know that an ENTIRE RACE of human beings was wiped out by the British military in Tasmania, when the whites settled and explored Australia? (not to mention uncounted animal and plant species) Also the Australian legal system STILL OFFICIALLY MAINTAINS that there were NO HUMAN BEINGS in Australia when the whites arrived, this means all former legal systems and rights (aboriginal ones) are totally legally void. this is known as the Terra Nulleus claus, perhaps wrong spelling, in case anybody wants to look it up and do more reading on it.
The white Australians will get there slowly but surely though, middle Australia is pretty powerful, and i heard a few years ago that there are now NO aboriginal tribes left, compared with something like over a hundred in the fifties, although those figures could be wildly off base...

I believe that there is a way for XP to be "good"
and that is if Microshit fixed the numerous security leaks and left that stupid activation shit out.
WinXP is built off WinCE not NT. WinCE is for the palmtops, which have extremely little resources, so i have "heard" windows XP uses its resources wisely, just like CE has to. (unlike win 98 etc.)
