once again, words have been put into my mouth....

and apples have been compared to oranges to reach the "obvious" conclusion that their position is "right" and all others "wrong".

A century before the Potato Blight, Jonathan Swift felt compelled to write "A Modest Proposal". A response to prevailing attitudes about Ireland and the Irish poor. Many made poor by discriminatory laws imposed by a "foreign" government. This is the historical background that laid the groundwork upon which later events took place.

I find that the "obvious solution" championed by Teribus to be remarkably similar to that used in America. Take away the land from the current inhabitants and then when they persist in trying to retain their way of life, find a way to remove them completely... or at least to somewhere that you have no use for.
