I suggest that all those who romanticize the Mayan, Aztec and other indigenous cultures, quit using the Judeo/Christian/Greek/Roman/Anglo inventions,medicine developments of law and concepts of human rights, their methods of husbandry and go back to their roots, killing their children in sacrificial ceremonies, raiding each other for victims.

At the same time they were living like that, the Greeks and the Romans developing the seeds of the civilization in which we now live. Certainly there is much wrong in today's America, but there are ways to fix things without destroying the whole society and it is not to bring back ancient,indigenous cultures.

I, myself, have Indian blood. I am respectful and thankful for the good that existed in those ancestors and I want knowledge of that preserved. It certainly was not the Indian's fault that they did not have the same giants upon which to build their civilization and it is also certain that they were intelligent, but when I contemplate the good that comes from my roots, I know that the Europeans conferred much more good on us than did the Indians.

This hatred for Europeans is really illogical and destructive. We all need to give credit to the good where ever we find it.

There are many here in this country and some on this board who think all of this is just fine and we are bigots and haters if we think otherwise. We should hang our heads in shame and admit guilt. We should be willing to give up our country and way of life in the process...

Multiculturalism at it's finest and it will/is destroying this country! You can take this crap and cram it!
