Hi MSH,
More years ago than I care to remember I was staying with some academic friends at Columbia Uni in
NY. They were the two of most left-wing people I've ever met - they had been friends with Abbie
Hoffman in the 60's, who if memory serves died whilst I was there, and they put across what seemed
an incredibly plausible case that the CIA had poisoned him for his anti-social activities. I'm sure
they were at least half-serious.
Anyhow, the point I want to ask you came to mind when you wrote this: "Do you, or do you not agree
that the U.S. Government planned and carried out mass exterminations of indigenous Americans in
order to acquire their land?"
You see, they also argued that this was true; in addition they argued that all those who benefited
from this genocide had a moral obligation to leave the United States and not eat the fruit from such
a poisonous tree, ie not enjoy all the good things which had been accomplished as a result of that
genocidal activity. So all the land which the white settlers had ended up taking from the various
tribes should be given back to those tribes, along with all the wealth that had been created on the
back of that misappropriation.
Do you agree with this? If not, why not?
Cheers
Sam
