maybe the federal goverment should give all the land they have stolen back to the states and the people they have stolen it from.
You'd probably have to move. If I remember corrcectly the U.S. stole it from the Native American tribes who were here for several thousand years before Columbus arrived.

Which Native American tribe was it stolen from?

And which other Native American tribe had that Native American tribe stolen it from immediately before the white man stole it from him?

Pardon me.

I had forgotten that two wrongs make a right.

Did I say two wrongs make a right?

I'm asking which tribe which tribe stole the land from, before the white man stole the land from them.

Your failure to answer the question evidences the fact that you don't know.

Oh for gods sakes....I think we can all, or at least most of us, agree that the Bush Administration has failed miserably in protecting the environment. That's a fact, that's all that needs to be said.

In truth, the land was taken from the Native people and I've always said that it would not be in the ecological mess that it is in if it were left in their care. Anyway the point is that there has been an onslaught of deregulation since The Bush Crime Family has been squatting in The White House concerning the environment and enriching Bush cronies has been the order of the day for the past 8 despicable years. There is no shortage of articles out there as to how Bush and The Vampire Dick have contributed and aided in ravaging the eco system. These excuses for human beings have enriched themselves enough to buy another planet.

No, that's not a fact. That is your opinion - and your opinion is based not on fact, but on your blind hatred of Bush.

That's incorrect.

I'd strongly suggest you read the book "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" by Jared Diamond. Pay close attention to the chapters about the Anasazi, or Ancient Pueblo People. They completely destroyed their environment, and it lead to their demise.


This idea that the Native American peoples were a bunch of peace-loving environmentalists is bunk.
