First Contact Part 3 - Trade & Women
Once the initial shock and novelty of ‘First Contact’ had subsided, the Aboriginal tribes and Colonial explorers and settlers then began that most important aspect of mankind’s cultural evolution - Trade.

First Contact Part 2 - 'Jump up Whitemen' & Ghosts - European Explorers & Aboriginal Spiritual Beliefs
The strong, cultural Aboriginal traditions of relating ‘white skin’ to the dead and their spirits or ghosts, meant that on First Contact, Europeans were often accepted and welcomed by the Aborigines as relatives returning from the dead.

Is Dystopia at the Bottom of the Slippery Slope?
Conservatives are often criticized when they invoke the ‘slippery slope argument’ to point out the potential dangers of seemingly innocuous ‘socially-progressive’ ideas. But even ‘liberals’, if they are really being honest with themselves, must have some serious misgivings about the conflation of big business with state-sanctioned euthanasia.
