Making a difference

[unixronin]

On Babylon 5, on his way to apologize to the Narn people for the wrongs done them by the Centauri, the Centauri Emperor Turhan said,

"The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us... and our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast terrible in-between.  But there is still time to seize that one last fragile moment, to choose something better, to make a difference."

Australia has decided it is time to make a difference.

"Sadly, the effect of the apology on those it’s aimed at is a secondary concern. This is more about smug white folks feeling nice about themselves. That’s why, despite it being an apology for allegedly terrible events, everybody is smiling."
