| China, my blood is native.Eastern tribe Cherokee. My ancestors were a proud nation. Unfortunately they made friendly with the British. And we were punished for that by the new goverment. We lost so many lives on that forced march. Forced to leave their towns (not villages) We had our own goverment and language. I guess my point is, my people if any, should have a hard on for those past injustices. But we moved on, adapted,kept our heritage alive. And the Cherokee Nation is alive and strong. We dont expect an apology. History writes itself. And of course now we have our own justice in a way...Casinos... gotta love it.

| Taking back America,
For now I will maintain taking back America will entail sending a message to Congress. What kind of message one might ask?
One effective way to be heard by “We the People” is a National Boycott. My proposal of this ‘boycott would occur this July 4th 2008 that would consist of approximately 300 million people (living in the US) refusing to: go to work, drive their cars (buy gas), shop, and etcetera for ONE WEEK yes one week of staying at home playing monopoly (or what ever).
Problem, how do we simultaneously get 300 million people to adhere to this idea?
Certainly people can ‘shoot holes’ in my theory ~ Antithetic however, it would force Congress to answer ‘We the Peoples’ demands for immediate reform.

| My blood is European American, and we too were a proud people,
and My great great grandfather and another uncle were two of the soldiers from the Tennessee Militia that marched your relatives across the country, and that is half of the story, the other half is.
The government dispatched the militia, to new orleans, and then left them hanging with No way of support to get home, while their families suffered without them, and at their own expense,
They were then ordered to a massacre where your people who had sided with the British, who we were at war with, for our Independence, by the way, your people massacred other natives, and European Americans, and the militia was sent to stop it. The rest is known as the trail of tears.
It was the war of 1812, and we were at War with the British, still from the Revolution. If your people were siding with the british, then they were our prisoners of war.
and YES the war of 1812 WAS the Revolutionary war
Why would we apologize to our sworn enemy in a war?

| Only if you smoke or gamble, I don't do either.
The point I was making is they were prisoners of war, a war they entered into consciously, and lost.
They entered into a war with Our enemy, while we were trying to gain our Independence, what kind of Insane Logic is it, to think we should apologize for it?
should the Romans apologize for Invading the British? The French?
God think about the time the greeks will have to spend.
ALL groups of people have been oppressed by other groups of people, even the Native Americans had slaves, as did the greeks, and Romans, and Europeans, and all people have been enslaved. Black people enslaved jewish people for 4,000 years right?
AS Long as YOU arent Oppressing anyone else, why waste your time on the past or the future, Now is the only thing you can do anything about.

| Get your facts straight.. we werent forcibly removed till after GOLD was discovered in those mountains of Georgia.Daniel Webster and Henry Clay stood beside our Chief John Ross in the senate trying to convince them of our loyalty and willingness to conform. We just wanted to keep our lands and our way of living.
And who in the heck asked for YOUR apology? You dont smoke or drink... maybe you should think about getting laid.. might relieve some of that better then you attitude. Just a thought from a dumb country gal...

| well because you said you SHOULD have a hard on for those injustices, BUT, you are so forgiving apparently, that you don't you have Moved on, and don't EXPECT an apology.
so really what you are saying IS, Those bad people hurt my people and even though it was really shitty, and we should really make them pay, we are forgiving, ( as if you could be forgiving, if you really think you should have a hard on for it) but then, You don't expect an apology.
I am saying, OK we can play that game of your people against My people, because they really were your people, and really were MY people, and I am telling you, that MY people had been oppressed just as yours had,
and I am not expecting any pat on the back for NOT having a hard on for those injustices, but if we are going to take on the personnas of our relatives, as you did, then I am saying, they did it because you were our enemy in war, YOUr people joined up with OUR oppressor against us, so we killed you before you got us.
No need to get snippy, I guess you hadn't moved as far along as you thought. Your relatives did shitty things, My relatives did shitty things,
WE are not our relatives.

| President Bush, the oil companies, congress, and no one in general can lower oil prices...it's the law of supply and demand. Demand is high. Supply is the problem...the entire world has just peaked for oil production, that means supply is dwindling and the rest as far as supply goes is down hill. So i see oil hitting between $130 and $150 a barrel this summer and prices at the pump will rise between $4.75 and $5.50 a gallon.

| we have peaked for oil production, I agree, which is why President Bush announced the new refinery today, But unfortunately the demand has continued to grow,
We buy so much oil from Saudi Arabia, that they don't need their people. The people don't support the government with taxes, they only consume. So they have no power in their government, and they hate us for it because we supply the oppressor, and make it all happen, of course not only us, all countries that buy from them.
China is buying in Africa, Not just fuel, also this stuff that is used in cell phones and computer screens, and diamonds of course is always a BIG commodity. but it is having the same effect, the people that supply the people with food, and survival, and the best life, gets the hearts and Minds of the people, You saw Black Hawk Down, that was what happens when the enemy has more to offer than we do.
It is spreading across Africa.
If the Oil switches to the yen, from the dollar, the price of Gas will tripple overnight. it will jump to 13.00 a gallon.
That will be the crash we expected witht he stock market, It will be as close to the crash of the Great Depression as we will get.

| brodyman, they have more oil than they know what to do with. It is simply another device your rulers are using for their intentional controlled destruction of America to plunder the American people into submission for their New World Order agenda to enslave the population. They just aren't going to let you know about it in the news, because they know you won't be happy about it if they did and they don't want to piss you off by telling you the truth about what they have in mind for you.
