      To those of you who assert that the U.S. isn't occupying any
     country or group, I suggest you speak to the members of the various
     Native American tribes (American Indians) before making anymore
     comments of this nature. The native american tribes are still primarily
     kept from society, quality education, jobs, professional occupations,
     etc. When was the last time you heard of major gains being made to
     correct this ongoing problem. Why do we still have reservations???
     Why does the subject of Native American Rights rarely, if ever, get
     mentioned. As far as I'm concerned, we have been an occupational
     force upon this soil for about 400+ years. We destroyed an awful lot
     of cultural/social groups way of life, sent in the missionaries to
     convert them to the "correct" religion, stole their land, raped the
     environment for short term goals, then have the audacity to call our
     group civilized, and the native americans culture barbaric. What a 
     crock!!!

                             PEACE & BEST WISHES
                           From the ever curious mind of:

       P.S. I have my water cannon ready for any flames
            that come my way!! Also armed the HALON SYSTEM just
            in case it's needed!
