Sorry, I meant to write in A pen.

Just to clarify,, the Mayans where long gone before the Europeans got the Americas that is one of the many mysteries about them. Furthermore the “savages” hardly got saved. The Spanish were terrified by the cannibalism they witnessed and commenced a wholesale slaughter. Considering Spanish history up to that point one wonders how they could be terrified of anything. Which just goes to show that every race and culture has thing to be proud of and things to be ashamed of and would be well advised to remember both.<br><br><I>most causalites were Mexicans and Hispanics. Not Anglos like the text books had taught me.</I><br><br>I’d like to know what textbooks you were reading. I think it’s more likely you assumed it was Anglos because it was America. A bad assumption considering the region involved. For that matter a bad assumption anywhere. America has always been open to immigration from everywhere. There’s no reason for the textbooks to breakdown how many troops were this race or that race unless it’s relevant as in the all black troops of the civil war.<br><br>I don’t have a problem with______history month, there’s nothing wrong with learning about ones heritage and being proud of who you are. But I do have a problem with revisionist history. You can spend all day telling me what an a**hole Christopher Columbus was or that he wasn’t the first to get here but that doesn’t change the historical significance of what he did. Or worse the attempt a few years ago to assonate Thomas Jefferson’s character for political reasons.

I will pay someone to put all this on tape for me!

I have been too busy to respond to a thread like this where the responses are so long.<br><br>In a nutshell, <br><br><b>Code:</b><br>The negativity that comes with the term "liberal" is in your head. Just as the negativity with the term "conservative" is in mine. I suppose the reason for this is that we are both on opposite positions. Kind of like if someone says they are a Raiders fan, I think "loooser", while a Raiders fan might think the same if I said I was a 49ers fan.<br><br>----<br><br><b>TJsnaps</b><br>My best friend when I was a child was black.
