[Dems2008] Re: Beyond America's Original Sin

I totally disagree with this being "American's original sin". I
live on the other side of the mountain from our true original sin.
What happened to the Native American was as bad or worse than
slavery.
And I resent the fact that you include the whole of America in what
the South did. My people were from New England and helped those who
escaped.

that the americans at that time created. Yes we have had economic
govt programs to deal with the symptoms but not the causes. As long
as we don't address that situation, we will be stuck here.
