Matt,

How do you steal something neither owned, nor possessed?


You're claiming the land now called the US was not "owned or
possessed"?

How do namadc tribes "own" land that they inhabit for a few week or months
at a time? How do they "own" land that they took from prior "owners"? How
do they "own" huge tracts of land on which they occupy a few acres and
only
for a season at a time?


You claim Native Americans somehow "don't count" because
they didn't have any ownership contracts to show? Jeeze!

Not only didn't they have ownership contracts, they had no concept of land
ownership at all.

Try looking at things from beyond the perspective of Hollywood.

Ah, but my shallow manifest destinarian atheist, the natives were
territorial. They may have moved from place to place like the Floridians
who come here in summer, but always came back to their hunting grounds.
Until white eyes took them.

Using the logical extension of your rather simplistic argument, wouldn't I
be justified in confiscating a Floridian's land when he comes here in
summer?
