You have missed my point Misty. I repeat Rudd did NOT apologise for me and I don't personally feel sorry for what may or may not have happened so many, many years ago when I didn't even exist. Many unhappy events have occurred over millenia and I can't be sorry for all of them.
This constant 'sorry' talk just encourages people to look backwards instead of looking to the future. It's a very negative way of looking at life. And I believe that some people will see as the first step to claiming compensation, just give it time.
