You know, all the Navajo and Apache and Sioux children and mothers and old men and women that were slaughtered by soldiers, were there ever any investigations into that?

Probably not, maybe a tribunal here and there, but we still took this continent as ours.
No one ever mentions all the innocents who were slaughtered, they didn't have lawsuits back then.

The same thing is happening in Iraq and soon the whole middle east. It's the same old horrible story, and it will have the same old horrible conclusion.

1. The same mentality is at work here too.
The native americans were seen as the "White Man's Burden." This same world view is in effect now in regards to Iraq and the middle east. We have learned nothing from history and our government today is as corrupt and racist as it was in past centuries.

2. and it's the white man (not white woman) getting rid of their "burdens"

of non white people interfering with their plans. white men even get rid of white women who interfere with their plans. white men tried to keep white women from voting or owning property, etc., etc. white men don't like anybody interfering with their business.

I'm a white woman.

the Senate and House should be divided equally between men and women.

it's not fair that our country is run by men.
