I didn't ask you if you would find it ridiculous, Teribus. I was addressing Walking Eagle.

I have no doubt that you would find the idea of the Romans not doing what they did an abhorant idea. And what they did was a lot more than just imposing a religion... they did to the Kelts and Gaels in continental Europe, pretty much the same thing that the Europeans did to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. They disconnected my tribal ancestors from their past. Which means they robbed me of the opportunity to know about that past. Fortunately for the indigenous peoples of the Americas, it happened recently enough for some people, like Walking Eagle, to recapture some of it and pass it on to new generations. That can't be done in my case.

Still, it's my pissed offedness to do with as I will. And what I choose to do with it is to acknowlege it, not deny it, and incorporate that understanding of it into how I move forward. It's my responsibility, and it's not up to you to tell me what to do about it.
