What is your culture, and is it free of historical actions of a similar nature? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

They did their best to take the "Indian" out of those children by moving them into boarding schools, forbidding them to speak their native languages, or follow their tribal religions. I guess the idea was to "civilize" them through "Christian" & "White" indoctrination. I believe there was a similar history in Canada. -- Regards, Savageduck

Time for a little history. I would start with the Eighty Years War with the Dutch vs. The Spanish & The Habsburgs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Years%27_War Moving on to the European Wars of Religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_wars_of_religion Then try the Huguenots and their little dispute with the Catholic French. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huguenot ....and what was that other thing? Oh yes! The Inquisition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition -- Regards, Savageduck |
