Sorry, I feel I have to step in and clear up this illusion that
somehow we're "romanticizing" the native peoples.  It is not fucking
"romantic" just because one doesn't want to be the genocidal
benefactor of 12 million deaths.  IS it?  Is that how you want to
define the basis of the wealth of the Nation?  That you're prosperous
because you've built up an empire standing on top of 12 million,
mostly innocent people, living on their ancient, ancestral lands as
they had for thousands of years before we invaded it.  Go fucking
visit a reservation in northern nebraska and see the people that
suffer to this day, unable to "cure" their alcoholism because their
spirit and grand relationship to the cosmos has been broken simply
because you had a fucking gun.

Pardon me, sorry for any friendly-fire..

The invaders came from crowded cities and were "homesteading."
