: : hello all, im peruvian, and for years i have had a question on my head,,why real americans cant live in peace inamerica, i mean why apache or sioux or you name it,,CANT live in peace, or why do have to live in reservations????????????? why are so marginated in their own lands?? it is something i cant explain as english is not my first language, but anyone can tell me WHY?????????????and where it all begin?????????????

: Well, Enrique, I've got to hand it to you! You REALLY know how to ask a question. One WAY too complex to answer here, as one could not ever explain their point of view clearly enough in a post and it would only invite misinterpretation.

: I must say, though, that as shameful the conquest of North America was (is), it is only a tiny part of all the World's history, and guess what? It's FILLED with violence & hate & greed & ruthlessness & conquering & deception & blood & oppression ... and, as is somewhat reflected in "The Last of the Mohicans," it was going on here long before Europeans crossed the ocean. It has been part of the human condition ... and Red, White, Black or Yellow, we're ALL human. I think none of us, generally speaking, stands any taller than the rest.

: Night all!

Good answer Mentor Man! Well said. Exactly right. Much as Emma was saying, only in a different way. Much as I was saying, only in a pointed way - kinda like the gnomes head - er, I mean HAT!
