From tonight's conversations...

VE: JT said that if we gave back the lands it would cause a recession.
Moose: What, like we're doing anything useful with Kansas now anyway? I mean, c'mon, what do we get from it? Corn, soybeans and Bob Dole. Like we can't do without that?

Oh, Noooooooo. They get it ALL back! I mean, we want to have bastions of civility within the new nation of Kansas, right?

On a serious note, many of these "native lands" are also major cities these days.

For example, various "native" groups are claming over 90% of downtown Vancouver and Seattle.

Which is, of course, unmanageable. We have it, we've had it, and it's not going back. There just is no way to hand back these lands at this point.

Exactly. Two wrongs don't make a right. What can be done is to admit that what happened was wrong, and to stand up when we see it going on now.
