Sure, Native Americans got a pretty shitty deal, but it was only natural that the two societies fight each other, with the better equipped being the victor. This sort of thing happens all the time in history. Two groups of people want the same resources, and so they duke it out. To say that Native Americans had some claim to this land is wrong, though. It's still up for grabs, and it always will be . We don't own it anymore than they did, we just happen to possess it. Granted, it would be more difficult now, but that still doesn't mean its ours. And besides, it's silly to feel remorse for actions you haven't done. Yes, I think what happened to them sucks, but it's been done and you can't do shit to change it.
Today, I'm gonna nom today without any guilt. Happy Turkey Day, y'all.

Already had to deal with 3 alcoholic patients who overdosed on various meds because the holiday made them depressed. Hopefully, the cafeteria turkey will be good (our cafeteria typically has good food), but I'm not going to count on it.
