Since the "country of Mexico" was stolen by the Spanish, does that make it ok?

 

What do you propose we do to make up for "stealing the land from the Native Americans"?  Should we all

go back to our country of origens?  My lineage is German, English, and Danish.   Where should I go?  My wife has

English, Irish, and a bit of Cherokee in her.  Can her Cherokee part stay?

 

I refuse to be made to feel guilty for something that happened 400 years ago that I neither participated in nor

advocated.  To say that since our ancestors "stole" the land, we are here illegally is absurd.  If you don't participate

in voting, you have no say in how our country is governed.  Like it or not, it's the only system of government we have

and while it may have it's problems, it's the best there is.
