This is rather cheeky, Mr Randall, for the 4th of July.
That Bible is disgusting.
Yeah, I can see all the Indians out there on the plains shooting off skyrockets in celebration of July 4 - the day they lost their independence and became welfare recipients ... a lot of things were lost at Wounded Knee
Following the burial, the Americans lined up and took their picture beside the mass grave and twenty medals of honor were later given to honor the U.S. soldiers who participated in the massacre.
In 1903 a monument was erected at the site of the mass grave by surviving relatives to honor the "many innocent women and children who knew no wrong," who were killed in the massacre.
Yeah, I don't know how you can be the land of the free and the home of the brave when your country was founded on driving out the people who were there first. Neither can you be the land of the fair go for the same reason.
I saw some Aboriginal art today at the gallery in Melbourne. Don't know what it is about Aboriginal art but it just makes my heart ache. Part of it is thinking about how they were viewed by the whiteys - backward savages who needed to be tamed. And of course no culture is a pristine culture either. All are composed of frail humans who demonise each other and others for their own gain. And yet it makes me ache because their landscape art is aerial. We viewed as backward people who represented their art from the position of the skies.
Their land, I meant.
Enjoyed your comment conversation. Gotta agree with you Aussies.. sometimes the US patriot talk paints our past with rose-colored glasses and does a disservice to Native Americans and African Americans.. along with other ethnic groups that were treated badly.
Also liked hearing of your own struggles with cultural issues.
Hope you both are having a good week.

Hey Bob, thanks. I reckon it does a disservice to all of us when we rose-colour-paint our pasts. It's creepy and a bit dangerous I think. Still, I understand our propensity to do it (especially our politicians etc)
i hope to get an email from you now and again...take care.
