Hobsons pledge making a great impact

[Lilith7]

I'm happy with Hobson's Pledge (but I prefer Lemon) - We are one people - I think that's what the chiefs were thinking when they signed too. But we can't just start now and make it all good, we have to address the past...that we took all your land and treated you like shit for a hundred years. We can't even meet half way, it's too unbalanced.

Exactly - & it isn't just here that change is happening. Slowly in various places around the world, people are looking at what was done in the past & trying to change for the better.

I sometimes wonder what our world would look like now, had all our ancestors just traded fairly rather than invading, colonising & exploiting - if the better side of human nature had been allowed to take precedence rather than the worst.
