I see so much wrong with this post. The natives didn't have wells, they drank straight from pure streams and rivers. Try that today. As for cleanliness, the natives dove right into the water, weather notwithstanding, regularly. The churches, otoh, taught their congregations that taking more than one bath a month was unhealthy and I've heard that the Indians back then claimed they could smell a white man coming long before they ever saw him.
The black plague? Not in America. The plague in America was from small pox soiled blankets the Indians were "given". They had no resistance to this white man's disease and according to George Catlin, who was there at the time, small pox was "the great destroyer of the Indian race". Not superior weaponry or better military tactics.
But their lives couldn't have been further removed from the activities of pioneers and settlers. And now we have kids who sit at their electronic gizmos getting fatter and stupider every day. Indian kids, when in their element, were learning about their environment and how to survive and thrive in it. White kids did that, too. Now the environment has been corrupted, for them and for us. Yeah, we're so much better off.
And finally, the US army, gold miners and settlers shot entire buffalo herds from the platforms of trains and left them to rot in the dirt until there was nothing left for the natives to eat. Okay? Now look at the boycotts and embargoes going on today against our concocted enemies. We haven't changed our mind games or our tactics one iota. And we never minded playing dirty.
Yes I understand that many wish to return to this idea of pristine living, including many environmentalists. If you want to talk about that, do you want to hunt buffalo? Do you want your woman to have her baby by the river as they did then? I posted about pioneers because life was hard for them. I dare you to go out in the wilderness and live like your ancestors. There's plenty of land where I am right now, completely unsettled. This state I am temporarily in has the least amount of population.
Clan of the Cave Bear was also living close to the land and they traveled in packs as nomads and the women collected berries and nuts along the way.
I understand that you are harboring anger at early miners and others. I somehow doubt that you seriously want to hunt buffalo to live and are hankering for moccasins and arrows. If you are well good luck to you.
Yes, you are right the Black Plague was in Europe. Would you like to go back to those times either? That is my point. Life was hard all through the ages. Trying to go back to some pristine way of life will always yield a life without lights or proper sewage or good doctors or whatever. Unless you want a witch doctor to treat you. Your choice man.
Oh yes, and too bad the kids aren't playing with tomahawks?edit on 5-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)edit on 5-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

I refer you to my above post, with a link to a previous thread of mine that will link you to a detailed report from the INSS, your own scholary defence institute, that also disagrees with everything you say..
You've been trumped! Thank you very much
ETA: As you most likely will not read the infomation I have provided,
It clearly states the outlook for the US over the next two decades will be financial collapse, power collapse, and the US will be begging the rest of the world for forgiveness, and global power shifts from the west to the rest.
You gonna argue with the university now to? Because there living in the real world and aren't looking at America through rose tinted glasses? Lolzzzedit on 5-5-2012 by Sinny because: (no reason given)

You have a lot of room to talk. Since your ancestors are part of the issue in question and your nation couldn't survive a day without the US.

Yes the Britain was part of the issue. That stopped in 1783 when the 13 Colonies gained independence. With independence comes responsibility. You wanted to break away from Britain so you live with the consequences.
The UK couldn't survive a day without theUS? I love people like you with your arrogance. How long has Britain been around? About 3,500 years. How long has the US been around? About 250 years. We did and are doing fine without you thanks

I wouldn't call being occupied by a foreign empire doing fine. I wouldn't call having your ruler overthrown by a foreign power doing fine (more than once if I remember correctly). I wouldn't call endless domestic and global war doing fine either. And I certainly wouldn't call the royal navy losing to those 13 colonies not once, but twice and then handing over their status as an empire to those very colonies "doing fine".
The whore daughter of the Roman Empire, as it should be rightly called, has not had it so easy.edit on 5-5-2012 by Jagermeister because: (no reason given)
