I am in total agreement with that statement Carol. I guess what I am grappling with is that as we who live here are the beneficiaries of an immoral act (the occupation of North America) how do we reconcile that with condeming others for the very same act as that from which we are benefiting?

That one is easy, Bobad. What we do is speak out against injustice when we see it being practiced around us in the world right now. It's too late for us to prevent what happened to the indigenous people of the Americas in the past. But we can speak up about continued injustices that they are experiencing today. And we can speak up about injustices that are being done to people in other parts of the world in our name.

That is what I am doing here in this thread. You can do this too, if you want to. Maybe if people had done more of this sort of thing in the past, we wouldn't have so much to be sorry for right now.
