Oh I don't know what to say to all that! Frankly I'd be hesitant to give my views on any of it. I was simply speaking of a taking a broader perspective on human history. A way of taking into account just how quickly this has all happened. Even with the 200 year comment I was speaking only of the broader perspective on human history in general and not the history of North America. All I'm saying is the more perspectives you consider, the more angles, the easier it is to broaden you own view and accept. Most people wall themselves in, quite literally. Their beliefs are like a fort and it is easy to see how people outside can become "the enemy". But, same as you, this is just talk
