1. A Ho!

As someone with a trickle of Wampanoag blood, I say this is a good one! Wonder what it would have been like if this had happened.....

12. Try Kim Stanley Robinson's book ...

The Years of Rice and Salt

It's an alternate history that supposes Western Civilization was completely wiped out by the Black Plague. Native American cultures developed without Western influence, but with a lot of influence from the East, China in particular. Makes a very interesting read.

4. Did the Pilgrims bring Small Box blankets on that trip?

With the dirty bombs, terrorism and evil doers...maybe the Native Americans should have built that wall.

6. 1616-1619, apparently 1,000s of Wampanoag died of plague brought by

English traders and explorers prior to the arrival of Pilgirms.

10. Seems like

it's anti-hypocrisy but that's just my take.

8. May I ask which law the pilgrims broke by coming here?

Seriously, I want a link to a written law that the Native Americans had to this effect. In the modern world, there are laws regulating legal entry into ANY COUNTRY.

Also, Mexicans are NOT Native Americans of this region (the USA). They are natives of CENTRAL Mexico, and are part European, themselves (though they like to deny that fact). True natives of Mexico are treated like crap by the half-breeds who are the majority.

Memo to Mexicans: QUIT WHINING AND ENTER LEGALLY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES. YOU DO NOT DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT, YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN PEOPLE OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY.

Here's what I love about Mexicans...we're supposed to let them enter illegally, yet if anyone crosses THEIR southern border, the "undocumented worker" can be shot on sight. Similar to the Vatican, which is saying how we shouldn't build a wall, and yet the Vatican is surrounded by--you guessed it!--a wall. Now, that's what I call hypocrisy.

Allowing people to enter illegally is completely unfair to those honest, decent people of ALL races (including Hispanic) who come here legally, and become citizens. I love people of all races, and am fascinated by all cultures...that's why I want all those people treated fairly, without being forced to take a back seat to people who didn't come here legally to begin with.

14. Last year I had to

get a 'special' passport to enter Mexico for a project. It wasn't a visa either, it was a passport (green cover good for multiple entries) issued by the Mexican consulate here in Detroit....and I might add, I had to leave my American passport with them which to this day sits really bad with me as I wonder what the hell they were doing with it. Something stinks.....at least so far to my knowledge at least my identity hasn't been stolen. One of my co-workers never did get her passport back - they 'lost' it.
