For many (many) people in mainstream culture, this is a contradiciton in terms. For them, to be aboriginal implies no way no how could any aboriginal ever be a useful land use planner. The controversial nature is implicit in just existing, being alive. There are people here in Canada who cannot believe I will ever amount to anything, let alone tell them anything interesting or useful about land use planning. I'm just beginning this whole blogging thing. It's gonna be fun. I find I agree with point #9 - for example, I am an aboriginal land use planner.

I didn't want to be controversial for a whole range of reasons - if I had my time again I'd shoot my big mouth off a lot earlier! Much easier to build a stronger brand that way. But like you say, it can be very tricky to manage your brand using controversy to get attention (Shoemoney.com has been the best at it recently). Cheers Brendon Howdy Andrew
