'Australia will issue its first formal apology to its indigenous people next month, the government announced Wednesday, a milestone that could ease tensions with a minority whose mixed-blood were once taken away on the premise that their race was doomed.' Macklin did not mention compensation Wednesday. But she said she sought broad input on the wording of the apology, which she hoped would signal the beginning of a new relationship between Australia and its original inhabitants, who number about 450,000 among a population of 21 million. Aborigines are the poorest ethnic group in Australia and are most likely to be jailed, unemployed and illiterate.
"Once we establish this respect, the government can work with indigenous communities to improve services aimed at closing the 17-year life expectancy gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians," she said.'

I\'m holding on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground And I\'m hearing what you say but I just can\'t make a sound You tell me that you need me Then you go and cut me down, but wait You tell me that you\'re sorry Didn\'t think I\'d turn around, and say... That it\'s too late to apologize, it\'s too late I said it\'s too late to apologize, it\'s too late
I\'d take another chance, take a fall Take a shot for you And I need you like a heart needs a beat But it\'s nothing new - yeah yeah
I loved you with the fire red- Now it\'s turning blue, and you say... \"Sorry\" like the angel heaven let me think was you But I\'m afraid...
It\'s too late to apologize, it\'s too late I said it\'s too late to apologize, it\'s too late whoa.....
It\'s too late to apologize, it\'s too late I said it\'s too late to apologize, it\'s too late I said it\'s too late to apologize, yeah- I said it\'s too late to apologize, yeah- I\'m holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

Do you feel harder to make friend with other people these days than before, is that because we become more independent or less friendly people around?? Do you know all your neighbors? Have you ever talked to them?? Will Smith is the last survivor in the movie ‘I am legend’, he s desperate to look for other people. We all need friends to talk to, to play with, spend the spare time with, etc.
