..." because we're told we need to protect them and it's for their own good,..."

Quite right. Governments love to say this about the mentally disabled and children. And it always turns out the same way with massive abuses and human right violations. It's just a matter of time when it comes out in the open. I recall reading somewhere orphaned children living in foster care are more than three times more likely to die in foster care than other children are.

It **always" ends up this way. This is why government can never be trusted. And the smaller the government, the less chance they will attempt the very thing we are witnessing with the aborigines. Government is a ship of absolute force. Who is in control of the wheel house? That's the question that is never really answered. We're told what to think in this department through the MSM.... a bunch of lying perverts made to appear like somehow we know as our friend. The answer is obvious. These people are strangers and a stranger is never to be trusted. 99.99% of the public does not know who these politicians are. Never trust a stranger. Never give a loaded gun to a stranger. This is what occurs when government is allowed to provide 'protection' for the vulnerable.
