As to Indian tribes just following the buffalo, I think you will find the Cherokees and at least some other tribes of the US Southeast were agriculturial rather than just hunters. I think (my study of history is now history) that might have been the way of the eastern Indians. Guess the plains Indians who were not in good crop land had little choice but to be hunters and gathers.

Sadly some in our country hold us to different standards than any other country. The US Southwest is not legally part of the US, it was taken from Mexico. (I thought Texas fought without the US Army on their own.) Okay, where did Mexico come from? Was it not taken from the Indians by the Spanish? Boy let us be fair here. Guess Canada is also different than the US. Could it be New York City is the only part we own as the Dutch bought it. Wait, how did we get it? Did we steal it from them?

I have no problem with anyone who thinks someone else really owns their property. If they wish to give it to them, go right ahead. But first it must be your's. But then if it is really your's, then how is really their's?

As to the US Congresswoman from GA. God Bless her. She is doing more to tell the truth about who really hates than we may think.

As to Ms. McKinney, it sure is a shame if this is the best option that district has.

As land being taken, how come those people who say we need to GIVE this country back to Mexico or Indians are often the same people who say the City or such should TAKE our land to build new condos or such? It seems they just want anyone esle to own what is others.

The best I remember the Cherokees and others did not live in moveable houses or teepees, rather stationary houses.

No tribe ever took land fron another? That could be true due to how much land with the population. But if they were willing to kill each other, take prisioners, take their children, take their food but they respected the land so they would not occupy it? Wow. Shame they did not respect the person that much.

Now, I have no idea how correct some of my thougths on these points are. I could be remembering way wrong. THose of you who remeber so well since you were there, I appreciate your correcting me. Laughing out loud.

If it is important I will take the time in the next few days to find out.

We have become a rush to judgement society. Probably much of that is due to the news media. They spend hours asking "why did she kill him" or did he break the law or what ever. All a guessing game with people who really know nothing of the truth. WIth all the experts and amatures telling what went on how come the young lady in Aruba case is still so unknown.

I will stand with DeLay and McKinny as each of their cases are/were given more importance at the stage they were/are than is deserved. Each should have been reported and updated as only somehting changed or developed in the real world, not the News Media's made up one.

Then the courts or the votes should be allowed to have their proper time. THEN THE NEWS MEDIA SHOULD report that person as guilty of money laundering or srtiking a police officer or an ex US Rep who was voted out of office.

There is a bid difference between McKinney and DeLay cases I think, she never said she was not guilty of the charges, rather it happened because of her race. DeLay has over and over said he is not guilty. I have never heard of a person who holds themself to be innocent whether true or not saying they are sorry.

It will be interesting if DeLay is found NOT GUILITY if those who accused him in the Media and here give an appology. Please, I am not saying he is or is not, I don't have the facts and hope the truth does come out in court.
