Felafel --- the comparison you are attempting to draw is an empty one. For one thing, we aren't at war with the native Americans/Native Canadians. YOU are, however, almost purpetually at war with your surrounding neighbors.
Huge difference right there.
Also, the Native N. Americans are free to take advantage of everything our free capitalist/democratic nations offer everyone, plus, at least here in Canada, they have all sorts of grants and special concessions they can take advantage of. I have a good many friends that are native Canadians, and they all are free to work, live, travel, marry, have families, etc etc, just like any other ethnicity here. They would no more think of tossing grenades into a McDonalds than they would cut of their noses.
Yes, many Native Canadians/Americans are down and out, many choose to drink Lysol and live a life of squallor, but it is just that... a choice. They are government funded, they are offered much social assistances and welfare, so if they choose not to take advantage of the free education they have at their disposal and become productive citizens, then that's their right I suppose.
But in light of that, where does that leave your arguement? As I said in my earlier post, there are only 2 choices in your situation. When looking for a solution, it is always wise to cut through all the bullshit "how's" and "why's" and get to the meat of the matter. In this case, what is going to take to solve the problem and settle the dispute? Think about it.
