Michael- The issue here of course is that neither of us is responding to the colonial arguments, but what I took to be part of the argument of [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems to be making something of a similar argument, except that s/he adds in a part about the impact on "working people." I will await his/her response to my claim that traditional systems are not less productive, that even if they were this would not justify theft or denying reparations, and that s/he is falsely separating "indigenous people" and "working people." -Mat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We are not in diagreement.
