Nonsensical because the Native Americans (Indians, Aboriginals, what have you) were Pagans
themselves, and they had a better life then the Europeans, IMO. They knew how to live WITH nature,
not against it. What the "Christians" did to their fellow man (the Native Americans) was very
un-Christian like. They (the "Christians") burned their (the Native Americans) histories and
religious texts and forced upon them a life and religion foreign to them. Personally, shit like that
makes me sick to be an American, but knowing my blood relatives earliest venture into America was
1865 (mom's side) and 1956 (dad's side) kinda takes away that sick feeling. I still feel bad what
was done in the past, and yes, it is the past, but we haven't learned from it. "Christians" around
the world are STILL burning the religious texts of thousands of aboriginal people's. Not only is
part of history lost with those texts, but so are those people's cultures that CHRISTIANS so
carelessly crush.
With Mr. Knight's assumptions on land values, if he so truly wanted his version of utopia, then he
should be able to buy an island somewhwere out in the Pacific Ocean for cheap (I'm thinking Wake
Island is up for grabs now) and do what ever the hell he wants with it.
