Hatred is the hallmark of a barbarian. Barbarians are by definition
not civilized. Uncivilized people only know how to destroy, rather
than build. The barbarians time has come, yes indeed, to either get
civilized or go to the grave. For the civilized on this forum, I
recommend that you buy a book of the poetry of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow to while away the long hours waiting for the other shoe,
which I doubt will fall. Speaking of shoes, whatever happened to
Emelda Marcos ?

Actually, quite a bit of native american. Proctor is a big name

Furriners don't understand that all those native Americans just
didn't disappear or go live on the reservations. They interbred with the
newcomers. Practically any American whose family has been here for
more than a fewgenerations has Injun ancestry somewhere. And proud of it too.
Some of my own relatives would look pretty natural in war paint and feathers.

turn on my computer, asnd I'm at work. Tomorrow will be one of my more fun

work day on my computer, writing a little HTML.
What exactly is my point? Well, the point is that people who can't adapt to

The same thing could be said about the Indians and their inability
to cope with their changed circumstances - that they couldn't cope
with the diseases the Europeans brought and couldn't cope with the
more effective political organization of the Europeans.

If you had actually been reading for comprehension, you might have noticed
that the question of what may have happened to inhabitants of north america
previous to the indian tribes residing there at the time europeans arrived.
Did they merge with the later tribes, did they move away, were they killed?
Maybe they just couldn't deal with change, as *someone* has to be the first
to eat a crab, or an artichoke, for that matter. What happens to people who
won't make that first effort?
Use your imagination for a change.

Hey, Rick-dick, not all the dead and missing are Americans. There are
nationals from between 60 and 80 other countries in the carnage, possibly as
many as 2,000. That's why it was called the WORLD Trade Center. At least
300 were Brits.

That shows your own ignorance doesn't it now. For a great many Americans
we are from all over the globe. My wife is german from steppes of russia
for instance. My family goes back to 1760 and gets lost in the wilds of
Ohio but that just means that along with the native american and other
euro ancestry that in the end I am pretty much an American and native
enough. In the end Americans are of many descents and the looking
towards our roots is not "claiming" any culture rather than claiming
ancestry of cultures that fore bearers had the exquisite good sense to
leave, that makes us damned special.

First to Rick. You are a disgrace to fellow South Africans. Your comment is
a public display of ignorance and childish limp wristed chain janking. If I
ever meet you somewhere, I would love to slap the living hell out of you,
you stupid boy....and yes, I am South African, asshole.
As for Dr P ...... coming from the USA, calling white South Africans
settlers is rather thick after the white Americans eradicated the local
population and took their land, wouldn't you agree? I am Afrikaans and if
you would be so kind .... shut the fuck up, your public posturing borders on
criminal, asshole. My sympathy for the USA excludes such paternalistic
pricks like you.
This applies to people as diverse as Chris Morton
(Black/Irish/English/Apache) and myself
(Irish/German/Scot/English/Cherokee). Should my son and daughter-in-law
have children, they can add Polish, in front of the Irish. Both sides of
her family are Polish. That's the unique strength of America. We have our
problems, we fight among ourselves, but God/Allah help anyone who thinks
they can get away with killing and wounding 13,000 of us.
That sleeping giant analogy doesn't tell half the story, terrible resolve is
a pale description.
What happened to the English in the 19th Century and to the Russians in the
late 20th is irrelevant. We don't want that barren forsaken land or its
meager resources. We don't want to kill or enslave its poverty stricken and
starving people. We want Osama bin Laden, dead or alive, his head attached
to his scrawny ass, on a platter, or on a pike, we don't give a damn. We
want his cowardly army of terrorists. We want his rat hole shelters
destroyed. And if the Taliban gets in the way, they'll suffer the same
fate.
Kent, just because you can claim ancestors does not mean these people
were not eradicated. Else there are still Vikings, Saxons, Normans,
Mongols and Huns wandering around this planet. I don't know what this
obsession is you Americans have with your ancestors anyway. I know
that I am two generations English and that's good enough for me.
But I think he was using "eradicated" in a more general sense anyway,
certainly many local populations were eradicated. And many tribes no
longer exist at all.

Yes, this is probably more of a "police action" than a war. But people
wanted to hear the word "war". War is basically when both sides try to
kill each other until the other gives up and hopefully we aren't going
there.

destroyed by other tribes, not European invaders. A lot of things played
against the American Indians, stone and bronze age technology vs iron age
technology, bows & arrows vs gunpowder, strange diseases, and horses. If
horses had been available to the Indians 200 years before Columbus instead
of 50 - 100 years after, it might well have been an entirely different
story.
The North American Indian cultures (note plural) are revered today, perhaps
too much so. There was no monolithic culture, no single religion w/wo
multiple "denominations", little or no cooperation or communication among
the 500 or more tribes. If you stop to think about it, it's a wonder than
all weren't totally destroyed and forgotten. Only a strong will to survive
and sometimes that will trump all else.

arbitrary government, one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears
remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."

Less "full blood' injuns, whatever that means. The pretty blond
blue-eyed wife of a friend is on the Tribal rolls as a Chippewa. But the sum
of injun-derived DNA is probably significantly higher than in precolumbian
times. We Merkins race-mix like crazy. It is one of our secrets of keeping
such a diverse place from falling into ethnic chaos, like some places I could
name<G>..
