I personally find this discussion very relavant to this Newsgroup. The
attempted extermination of the indigenous population of the Americas has been
official and/or unofficial policy of the governing police state from Columbus
through the nineteenth-century "wild west" and continues to manifest itself
in the actions of present day police states in diverse situations such as
Guatemala, the Amazon, and here in Lawrence, Kansas. How to end this policy
and reality of oppression is a very real issue that needs to be confronted
not only on this newsgroup but everywhere.
