Hello David -

How many generations of Aborigines lived on that same land
prior to the arrival of the "non-indigenous" persons?

Yes, people say that about the American Indians too. 

Funny thing is some ancestor of the present day land owners
jumped off of a boat here and claimed square miles of land as
belonging to him just because he didn't see any fences? From
the American Indian's perspective allowing him to use the land
was a "handout" until there were so many jumping off of boats
the Indians were begining to feel they were being taken
advantage of and wanted it to stop. Of course it never stopped,
obviously, and we put the Indians where no one else wanted to
live (deserts, swamps, etc.). 

The "landed aristorcracy" of the UK leases the real estate
under most of London and therefore are not required to work for
a living. Another "hand out"? 

Seems lots of people have their hands out and complain if
anyone else extends theirs. :-) 

It was considered so very rude of the American Indians to not
want to give us their land that they were slaughtered then we
make movies about the heroic soldiers who fought the Indians.
We even took what the Indians considered holy ground after
promising not to (the Lakota's).  Something like watching the
rich build condominiums on top of your mother's gravesite?

I'm betting we will maintain control of the oil fields in
Iraq for decades and then accuse the Iragi's of having a
"hand out mentality" if they complain about it.

Something is wrong with this picture.
