    Yes, but we can benefit from their wisdom without sacrificing some of the progress we've made. Their wisdom can point us in the direction of a "sharing" mentality rather than a "devouring" mentality.

    Which community? The one that was displaced by Europeans, or the the previous owners that they displaced?

    My fear is that if he is not held accountable, then he will go on to worse and worse atrocities--like 1938. I do not understand how he could have been impeached twice and not stopped then.

    At every stop along the way there were Republican enablers. Look at House and Senate votes. With very, very few exceptions, Republicans are culpable.

    How many times did Hillary Clinton have to answer questions about Benghazi? Which she did in a professional fashion without whining, even though she had no culpability in the matter.

    Al Gore was the very antithesis of a sore loser.

    And the Democratic Party will spend your money promoting his preferred candidates prior to the mid-terms so that you can blame Republicans when they win.

    At least we could learn from our mistakes (or crimes, more realistically), which it's not clear we have.
    Oh yes the wealthy tribes are not the typical ones, that’s for sure. But they do exist. I just mentioned it to point that out.
