i have trouble with the notion that the amazing thinkers were civil rights activists etc though... for the reason that... there are other countries in which the indegenous population was never considered to be animals (and hence not persons) in the first place... but yeah, i think i get your sentiment...

----What other countries? where, when, The romans? the picts. The civil right movement was never about our indegenous population. It was about other conquerors selling their indegenous people to us. As far as I can tell, remember, we still haven't had a complete civil rights movent for our indegenous people. That's why the Delaware tribe was based in Indiana when my grandfather married into it. what country anywhere ever has a history that doensn't involve conquest, rape, genocide? It is the history of the world up till today everywhere everyone. Tell me who?
I don't know how to move this to politics, I understand there is a way, to forward, but I can't figure it out.james k
