I’ve been saying the same thing for 25 years now. Glad I’m not the only one.
the indian treaties, in their time, were probably OK in that we were a wild land with little or no organization. However, after 100 or so years, it was evident that we were going to follow the european style of government and not the conqueror style of things. Organize the country, we did, establish central and local governments, we did, regulate the power of these governments, we did, and allow anyone in the world to come here (legally) and enjoy the fruits of the finest nation ever to be established in the history of the world. Our Indian brethren....well, it's time we let them out of their cages, get them off welfare, let them compete, with the rest of us, for the enormous benefits that this world has to offer.
