INDEPENDENCE TAKES STERN SELF-DEFENSE.

Botanists, so says the recent LA Times,
have proved that human domestication
of plants in the Americas, is at least as old as 10,000
years. I'm not clever enough to cite
the evidence, besides, I flunked Botany not
once but twice in college!! I had to read the
evidence on my report card: Medicine was not
for me as a career.

Crying over the fate of North American tribes
who it is claimed owned the land is plain and
simply irrational: it was up for grabs, as untended,
and undeveloped. Those same North American tribes took
the land from previous peoples. To 'own' the land
a civilization able to defend itself must be established.
It took immigrants from Europe for that to happen.
Now the Arabs want it; what are their chances? Nil
to zero most likely. To continue owning America the
present occupants might have to destroy the Arabs
in their desert bunkers. History, human history, is an account
of perpetual warfare. How come Native American can't
get a handle on that?  Native Americans contributed to
Americas WW2 defeat of Japan. America is grateful.
