FINDERS KEEPERS; LOSERS WEEPERS!
Contrary to your naive interpretation of history, the native
Americans did not *welcome* anyone. The demise of the native
american society is a direct result of sins they committed
against their *OWN* evolution -- dancing mindlessly around
camp fires and worshiping spirits and rocks is the path to
evolutionary abyss! On the other hand, the Europeans
recognized the potential of the land, *seized it*, and
created the most powerful nation this world has ever seen.
EVOLUTION LOVES A WINNER!
This universe does not give a flying fig for your individual
delusions, nor your collective societal delusions. Religion
and spiritualism are nothing more than coping mechanisms
fostered by "emotional feeble" minds who are incapable of
facing the grim realities of their own mortality! Both have
done more harm to human evolution and happiness than almost
anything else. I'm disgusted to a member of a species for
which a vast majority of my fellows have cast aside
intelligence for the mind numbing repetitive rituals and
idol worship of "shiny things" or the "maternal comfort" of
a "father/mother figure".
WHERE'S WALDO?
Where are the monuments or the vast civilizations of the
these natives? All we have today are a few arrowheads and
some clay pots. Is "pup tenting" and "bareback horse riding"
something to aspire to?
WHERE ARE ALL ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST?
There is reason why they are called "natives", and it has
more to do with their lack of any "levels of organization"
and less to do with their birth- right. Native Americans
were a nomadic people, and they were not a nomadic people
simply because they enjoyed hauling their houses on their
backs every three months (actually, the women did most of the
hauling)
WHERE ARE ALL THE FEMINIST?
They were nomadic because they lacked the collective
intelligence to appreciate the intrinsic value of large
centralized civilizations, and as such, they were forced to
constantly chase the food sources.
A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE!
Their failure to thrive is a direct result of choosing to
utilize every muscle in the body except for the most
important muscle of all, that is, the brain. Instead of
trying to live "with the earth", they should of been trying
to "exploit it". These resources exist for human
exploitation, not simply because we have been ordained by
some benevolent creature, no, but because long ago we won the
battle of intelligence against our rivals, and the spoils of
that war are the rights to exploit this earth, and all it's
inhabitants.
TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS!
The native Americans lost the battle of evolution, and as a
result, they also forfeited the rights of historical
narrative.
HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THE WINNERS!
So go ahead and take your children on another scouting trip,
so they can build a tee-pee and cook Indian bread, and you
can tell them *fantastical* stories about how the Indians
lived in "harmony" with the earth, and you can all sing
"Kumbaya" to the strumming sounds of a guitar.
But at some point in their lives, maybe around the time you
"shatter their innocence" with the truth about "Santa Claus" and
the "Easter Bunny", you might want to also reveal to them
the results of a societal rejection of intelligence -- lest
they grow up and become like our dear friend Mark, who is
*still* writing "letters to Santa".
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS TO SURROUND BY INTELLIGENT BEINGS!
