Just for the record, I live in a neighborhood of homes that range in price from $250,000 and up... My home is valued right a half a million. I drive a $34,000 pick-up, and my wife drives a Mercedes. I earned the money for this myself, and with the half the govm't let me keep, I purchased whatever I own. I don't say these things to brag, as worldly riches are uncertain and fleeting... Only mention them to expose how ignorant you are, and point out that one should not put much stock in your opinions. > And your point is what?

Never said anything about "better" or "worse," and only mentioned that the Indians were minimal producers of anything, and lived in a constant state of semi-poverty. That may be "better" in the eyes of some people. I don't care, as long as they don't steal my stuff. > >Oh, so our concept of govm't was derived from the Iroquois Confederacy? > Give me >a break! > > You'll get no break from me, oh proud-to-be-ignorant one. The fact that > we "borrowed" the structure of our Constitution from the Iroquois > Republic (confederacy of a loose sort) is a matter of historical record. Neat! I'm sure that the Founding Fathers would never have come up with the idea of a loose confederacy without the Iroqois.... Sure... > >I thought you just said that the Europeans who came here had been farmers and > >fishers....

So they came over here, leaving their palatial homes in Europe, to live in crude huts and exploit the Indians of their goods.... Right? Or were they looking for opportunity to build something better than they had (socially, materially, and economically) in the "old country?" I think its quaint how you use the term "plunder resources." What on earth should we do with them but manipulate them into useful things? Do you suggest the minerals and land are there to worship? Personally, I think oil is more useful in my automobile than it is 6,000 feet beneath the surface of the earth... So I'm all for plundering oil and anything else that can make my life better.
