(111,267 posts)1. Theirs. They got here and grabbed all the land
out from under the wiser native people and wouldn't allow anyone else a voice. Everybody who wasn't a white male who had grabbed land was a non person, a natural slave, breeding stock.
We've been trying to change that for nearly 400 years.

But I'm still going to vote, and I'm in favor of ALL eligible voters in this country voting, regardless of who they are voting for.

I thought surely this one wouldn't need the sarcasm thingie.
Wrong.
