Desert Dreams

Response to a letter accusing Mike Moore of Goebbels-like propaganda.
Simon Magdulski (9/11) refers to “Michael Moore’s Goebbels-like propaganda” in the same vein as many supporters of George Bush and his agenda in Iraq. Does he believe that the constant mantra of Moore’s documentary being full of lies makes it so, or will he and his cohorts actually produce some examples of the so-called-lies?It seems to me that Michael Moore is a dedicated individual who has the courage, the intelligence and the wit to practice free speech in a democratic country which espouses such expression.

I would prefer to support people with such a dedication to public debate, ahead of the ignorant who allow Governments to do as they wish, even after all the justification for their actions have proved to be false.

Hi, My name is Bob Innes. I have been running my small business, called Desert Dreams, (which involves the sale of Australian Aboriginal artworks), since 1990. My website has a display of artworks for sale, but also includes a collection of photography and other media , and writings relating to my interests. These interests include Aboriginal culture, Australian history, politics, social justice, and lots of other stuff which shapes the crazy, wonderful, and tragic world we inhabit. I live at Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, in the locality I was born into. I have worked with Aboriginal people of the Yuelamu Community, 300 ks from Alice Springs in the Tanami Desert for many years, the source for much of the art presented on this site.
