Before "white Americans" arrived and "stole" the land from native
Americans, the latter were often stealing it from each other. If you
live in a country that doesn't have a period in history when it stole
the land of someone else, I'd surely like to know what country that is.
Conquest and sometimes reconquest is part of every civilization's
history. But with regard to Meigs, most Americans don't like dictatorial
decision making, particularly when done in the secretive, sneaky way
that Meigs was closed. Those of us who had the opportunity of using
Meigs miss it, and we don't forget because we don't want more GA
friendly airports suffering the same end.

I thought it was white *Europeans* who arrived and stole the land. Blame
them.
