Let's see, the people we call Native Americans were not indigenous to North America, if the theory of them migrating across the former land bridge at the Bering Strait is true. Then there were those who came up fromn South America. But really, didn't everyone come from somewhere else in the first place?

(sarcasm alert) While we're at it let's take Andy Jackson off the $20 bill. History has noted that he was indeed a slave trader and an Indian killer.

Here's the deal, see..... anyone can have a parade anywhere they want as long as they get the proper permits. So bad, so sad. We don't like it when the KKK marches in Pulaski, TN, but the First Amendment protects the bad guys too. So the Italians should be able to have a parade, and anyone should be able to protest ---- they just ought to have the sense enough to do it without physical confrontation.

Or maybe I'm just naive.
