2,000 years from now, surviving humans (if there are any) will have legends of a time when the Earth was a paradise with untold millions of species, with forests and plains and vibrantly living oceans. Versus the world in which they struggle to survive, a world glimpsed in The Road.
Because no one’s ancestors ever entered the US Illegally at the turn of the 20th century. Because the US government kept track of every person that entered and wrote down their name as it was on their birth? Sorry my ancestor went AWOL from the Prussian Army to come here. Another ancestor was asked to leave Hungary because he couldn’t play well with others. We can’t find their names at Ellis Island. Try again.
1. As my grandparents on my maternal side were Cherokee, guess half of me would still be here? Oh, genetically, that’s true.
2. An important point rarely discussed that is in fact a part of AGW, and far more deadly than Ebola or humans; the invasion of non-native plants, animals,fish, birds, and insects. The forests are dying because insects NOT limited in their reproduction by formerly colder winters, not a good thing.
3. I’ve forgotten my vocabulary for speaking in the language, but can stil understand a good eal of German. My son, another disabled veteran, speaks German, Spanish, and Russian, in addition to English; part of what he learned in that 13 years of Navy experience, where he never spent a day on a boat/ship.
if posters cannot tell the difference between 1492 and 2014, then they post really inane messages.-From the first Puritan establishment to today, a vast wasted land with small warring tribes has been changed to a modern nation with the best founding principles (from God’s Bible) with more than 300 Million population, majority legal citizens, that face enemies coming in with plans to overthrow our national laws and free enterprise system.-Every real American recognizes the need to protect our people and our system from those who have designs on destroying our free choice social system into either Sharia Law with no freedoms and no legal protections, or remake the USA into a socialistic state that redistributes poverty equally!-I’m for Columbus honor Day and for protecting our borders and for protecting our system of legal versus illegal citizens.

None of that has anything to do with the enslavement, subjugation, and genocide of the Indian nations by European settlers and their decendants.

“Borrowed” would be a better word for it.

Probably for both. That’s pretty nasty even for you.
