Cool story bro. Is this supposed to shed light on how we should act today?

Nope.....

Your statement sounds like a couple of kids arguing...

"I was here first"

"No, I was here first"

And as always the stronger of the two wins the real estate

Borders were very sacred and respected lines, as they are today, with patriotic Americans.

Natives fought Natives for land. Natives of Mexico and Central America had nothing to do with the Natives in a place like New York State. Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc. are way down there and we are WAY up here. I notice that some pro-illegal immigrant groups like to say that they are owed this land when their ancestors never stepped foot in many of the states that have huge illegal immigrant populations.

Pangaea ... if we all wanted to ... we could say we belong anywhere on this planet because our ancestors supposedly lived on the same land mass at once.

Mother nature...


The strong survive to strengthen the species and the weak are not allowed to breed and eventually eliminated.

That is called evolution.

It happens everyday in human life.

I can live with it. My forefathers got made to walk to Oklahoma, or die.
Am I bitter.... NO. That was then, this is now.

The USA is my tribe, now.
You have a very good realistic modern outlook, and i like it. Wish more people thought as you do.
