![]() "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... In case you haven't noticed, America doesn't conquer people. We come in, save your ass, and go home. As "conquered peoples" go, "Native Americans" have come out pretty well. Certainly better than MY ancestors. I always get a laugh out of those who say the land belonged to the American Aborigines since the AA's had no concept of land ownership and, as nomadic wanderers, didn't really occupy the land in any sense we'd call "proprietorship". BTW...how did the AA's come to occupy an area of land in the first place? That's right, they _conquered_ it. As they did, they slaughtered each other for generations. Those constant wars don't happen anymore. (Not to mention the constant raids to rape the other tribes cattle and steal their women) For all their faults, the "white" people brought a way of dealing with ownership and disputes over ownership. |
