Are you offering walking tours to the top of the Sistine Chapel, St.Pauls in London or other notable places which are religious in tone? How about the Temple Mount in Jerusalem or the other places of note around the world? Why not respect Indigenous Australians spiritual needs for a change? Is it too hard to not go for a walk up a mountain? Really?
Who built Mt Warning?
Nature. Who worships Mt. Warning? Do you? No. Do Indigenous Australians? Yes. Time their views were given some respect for a change I think. We don't need mining companies blowing up Gorges or destroying Indigenous sites. We don't need gadabout tourists climbing a mountain. Tsk, tsk.
So what is this 'worship' they have for it - why is it so exclusive - and what does the dynamiting of gorges etc with historical stuff have to do with Mt Warning?
What EXACTLY are the 'religious' components of their wish to possess it utterly and exclude everyone else from a National park? Why does their presence not disturb the spirits the same as everyone else's? Why do their modern day footprints in boots not upset the 'lend' and damage the rocks the same as everyone else's?
Have you ever seen an Indigenous Australian worship Mt Warning? What is that 'worship' based on? We ALL worship the grandeur of Mt Warning as we pass it, Abos are nothing special in that and most of them couldn't give a rat's arse anyway ..... and even if she or she did 'worship' it - to which I call bullshit - WTF meaning does that have when others worship it as well by climbing it and experience the spiritual elevation of doing so and looking out over a vast vista below?
And why is it so exclusive to Aboriginals that it can't be shared to everyone else - as is their alleged custom??
Nobody was going to blow up Mt Warning... why is it an exclusive Aboriginal place to enjoy? It's a spiritual experience for anyone to climb such things - Aboriginals aren't unique, you know... and they are definitely no more spiritual than anyone else.... and are quite often far less so...
So what is their selfish argument here?
I just want it to spite Whitey and make meself feel important when I'm a crud...
