Manifest Destiny

On Indigenous Peoples' Day
We can hear our ancestors say,
"To take what they've got
We must kill the lot
And our God has shown us the way!"

The visitors or should I say "invaders" of lands have so much to be ashamed of, but I don't think they felt shame. Its too late to right the wrongs, but at the very least we can acknowledge the fact that it happened it was wrong. Again Rico, in a handful of words, you said it all.

We are victorious which therefore demonstrates that God was on our side! Amazing how He is never on the side of the loser, huh? The argument is so circular it's impossible to reason our way out of! Elizabeth
