I disagree with your assessment. Just because one thing is condoned does
not mean it should continue to be condoned. I believe that all lands stolen
from the Native Americans really does belong to them, but the feasibility of
returning them is simply ridiculous. Just because something was condoned in
the past in this regard does not mena that steps should not be taken to
rectify the situation. Bad laws are changed all the time when it is realized
that they cause more harm than good (or vice versa if you are a despotic
government bent on the subjugation of your populace). Some time, something
needs to be done, there comes a point when it should be condoned no more.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
