That was terrible to read! - It busted a lot of bubbles reading this post, I
would imagine. This report makes me think back to the early Colonist when
they burned their own women alive - because they thought they were
witches and devil's in skirts.
-
Now why don't they teach this in school's? Can you imagine kids today
reading about this slaughter of American Indian's. They show a happy
meeting of the Indian's (on or about Thanksgiving) and later on both sides
kill one another because we wanted their lands. Sure the Indian's fought
like hell to keep their own lands - but our weaponry was far more potent
then their bows and arrows in the long run.
-
And we were considered wise and level headed & Christian's upon our
arriving at Plymouth Rock.
-
And lets not forget - we also burned our women as some were considered
witches back then - because they were unstable or couldn't deal with transition
from the old country to the new one. We even brought over the white mans
diseases like chicken pox & whatever else we had - which the Indian's never
had until we showed up.
-
Our history isn't that glorified - or taught in schools. It's also a National Holiday
of which many folks don't even like Turkey.
-
Yep - we human's are the perfect people - hell we even kill our own kind -
not only in wars - but amongst ourselves.
-
Love thy Neighbor - say's the Good Book - but our history isn't that glorified
either. Killing seems to be a natural order of things when they don't go your
way. Humans "are not" perfect - we are engrained by the natural order
of our prior history of evolution. That includes killing one another!
-
Any input?
-
Well anyway - HAPPY THANKSGIVING to us all! I'm sure someone
is tossing me the bird after reading this reply. Yep we American's
took everything away from the Indian's - but we did set aside
some reservations - where nothing grows. We also killed off
most of the buffalo as well. We brought in cattle that ate the
grains in the open lands - and we damn near wiped them all
out as well - because we are meat eaters - for one thing - and
the their hides were also used for leather & the hunger for red
meat. This didn't go over well with the Indian's either.
