“...because “times have changed”…


My personal pet peeve: We should abandon all indian treaties creating reservations because “times have changed”.

It’s funny how we violate all sorts of indian treaties except for those. And those are what keep the majority of the indian nations poor and under the government’s thumb.

The whole indian culture of old needs to go away, just as in the old testament many civilizations’ cultures were wiped out, though many of the people remained and were assimilated into the dominant cultures.

That’s how you get order, and without order you get multiculturalism, which is just another word for chaos.

“That’s how you get order, and without order you get multiculturalism, which is just another word for chaos.”

A nation does need a shared language and culture. But there is a lot of room for variation.

It would be one of the worst scenarios if this nation had a singular culture. We need some things in common but not everything.

This nation began with lots of people who had some important things in common, but with many differences between them. The common ground gave us this nation, with a tiered structure of power. Federal, state, local.

Among the bedrock principles incorporated into the founding documents were freedom of association and the support of community values. This is how diversity can be beneficial.
