Rob's Ravings

Hi people. I'm Robert Fyffe. Born in Adelaide, South Australia on 15th January 1959. Have lived in Darwin, Northern Territory since 1996. This blog is a collection of my 'letters to the editor' that I've written to various Australian newspapers. Plus the odd intermittent ravings. Please feel free to comment.

Re; "Cuddling up to trouble"

(Published)

Ashley Chin of Gunn, do you really expect me to believe that
you have a major infestation of itinerants in pretty
little Gunn. Says nothing about it in the glossy
brochures. Sure you're not just jumping on the bigotry
bandwagon & having a go at kicking those who are
already down?

Your attempt at sarcasm only shows what
a mean
spiritted little man you are. However if you

think cuddles might work, give it a go.

Personally I
prefer a different approach. I get to
know the
"itinerants" & youth in my area, I treat
them with
respect, & have it returned manifold.
I seek out those
who want to make change in their
lives & encourage
them toward a more dignified
existence with all the
moral support I can give.

This has involved opening my
home & my heart
&, at times, offering a bed to sleep
it off, on many
occasions. I find that treating people
with respect
& dignity returns a more favourable
response
than your method of scowling & grunting,
hissing
& spitting disapproval.
