[EX Q]: Comment: the indians removed children from parents of the tribes they conquered long before the euros.
the indians just enslaved, tho. they didnt bother with the educatin' part. who needs school when you dont have a writing system?

it was rather dumb of the govt to think that educating at-risk kids would help.
they wouldnt do something that silly these days.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Judging from the high rated comments it seems many could have used a visit by 3 ghosts this Christmas.

[EX Q]: Comment: Wow! I  bet Atkins is just quaking in her shoes over these demands. If these minor parties want to play with the big dogs they need to round up a substantial constituant base, which they obviously have not done. If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch and quit whining.
[EX A]:
Non-threat
