Radical comments

I've heard the "smallpox in blankets" story all my life in regards to the American Indians, but have only been able to confirm one instance of it ever happening, in the 1770's at a trading post around Detroit... but that was back when smallpox was endemic, before it was "eradicated". To tear a page from that book and do the same thing to the Aboriginals in Australia in this day and time would be highly suspect, and without doubt fingers would be pointed and heads would roll.

As an aside, I know nothing about Australian possums, but American possums are truly nasty critters. They are the only animal I have seen go 3 feet up a dead cow's ass for a meal. Endangered? I don't care if the Aboriginals wipe them entirely out!

I like possums, they're really neat animals.
