Oh gee whiz Samwise, don't make his head any bigger by telling him he's intellegent!!! LOL.

[SAMWolf]

I'm not???? :-(

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

These "indian massacre" accounts are a real dark side of our history.

Although the Mormon settlers in Cache Valley expressed their gratitude for "the movement of Col. Connor as an intervention of the Almighty" in their behalf, . . . "

Uh-huh . . .

[SAMWolf]

Evening w_over_w. Yes they are. The treatment of the Indians and slavery are black marks on our history. IMHO though the US has done a lot more good in the world than it has bad.

[snippy_about_it]

Awww. I'm sorry I implied you weren't intellegent. Really I apologize.

[w_over_w]

Agreed . . . of course! . . . it just saddens me to revisit these historical accounts. I know . . . there's a lesson in that.

As part of US History in college we had to read numerous excerpts of Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States . . . after this book you'd think America WAS the "great Satan".

Evening w over w.

These chapters in our history are ones I dislike reading the most. The Foxhole, we report, you decide.

[w_over_w]

ROFLOL! Sam's gonna see right through the "dripping" sarcasm. ;^D

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Yep! Probably lending creedence to the fact that he really is intellegent.

[w_over_w]

The Foxhole, we report, you decide.

I hope Brit Hume isn't a Freeper, he doesn't like people using FOX News lines. ;^)

[SAMWolf]

LOL! A Fish Called Wanda.

I really like John Cleese

Alright, alright I apologize. I'm really, really sorry. I apologize unreservedly. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basic in fact and was in no way fair comment and was motivated purely by malice and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.

[snippy_about_it]

But it's what we do. Isn't the first time we've used it, hopefully Brit would agree. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

Hey, she's not a blonde!! I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya!

[SAMWolf]

I think "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" was the book that got me to thinking about the Indians in a different light and not the sterotypical Hollywood image of the 40's and 50's

[SAMWolf]

[w_over_w]

I really like John Cleese

Didn't he write Clintoon's apology speech to the Nation? "Indeed I did have a relationship that was inappropriate . . . "

[SAMWolf]

LOL! But she has short hair and a masculine look right?

[SAMWolf]

LOL! You may be on to something there, sure sounds like the same style.

[cyborg]

Very Interesting... another awesome thread I've discovered!

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Yep, she sure does.
