>I just can't help but think about the methods that were used on the Native people in order to make North America "Christian" and English Speaking. Entire cultures were destroyed, thousands died.
I can't take that lightly, just as I can't take the Jewish holocaust lightly.>I wonder how anyone can speak so sanctimoniously, as if this the way North America has always been, and those historical atrocities forgotten. It really wasn't that long ago. And the irony is, the first white settlers were welcomed, they were fed by the Native people.
Excellent point~ I am choking on my foot as I write this, and I should!
