ROFLMAO!!!!!

Ahhh let's see here....you said;

"Get all of your info from Hollywood, huh?"

and....

"It's hard to believe anyone would still buy into the old Euro-centrist teachings about indigenous peoples. "

and then implied a closed mindedness on my part with.....

"if you are at all open to learning about the past from many other perspectives."

Do ya' know the old saw about people who live in glass houses? Don't dish it out if you can't take it!!!!!

Do you honestly believe that the New World was one giant Woodstock fest prior to the Europeans arriving? And please answer my questions....have you ever heard of the Federated Greek states (if not, why not)? If the Indians were so happy with what they had, why were they so eager to trade for Euro-tech? How much have you studied the Constitutional Convention? Have you read the first hand accounts from the thing?

I am prepared to discuss the topic without flaming or innuendo....I am really interested in what you have to say, and I would like to know why you belive what you believe....okie dokie?
