You know Amos, I'm gonna mull over the notion of Good and Bad being opinions. I can see how goodness and badness is viewed by someone can depend on which side of the massacre you may be on.

I do think that that there is a basic knowledge of what is right and wrong inherent in all people. Lets not get too bogged down indefinitions tho. I imagine given time I could even make a case that shows right and wrong and good and bad are not neccessarily inclusive. Nothimng wrong with that kind of debate, I think they are great fun.

Regarding European westward expansion and the American Indian I won't even enter into a debate. Because I am a white male of Scotts and German extraction doesn't make me anymore guilty for what some other Europeans did several centuries ago to the American Indian than I am guilty for the slavery of Africans.
