also owe on anything our ancestors did to the Jews, Irish, Catholics,
Quakers, Yankees, Hispanics, etc, etc. Some of our ancestors were also
probably one or more of all of these groups...I'm confused...sounds like
somebody owes me? There probably isn't an ethnic group, religion,
skin color or a persons from certain areas of the country who hasn't felt
the lash of prejudice or bad treatment from the majority or ruling class in
any given place or time. A good idea now would be to call it "even" & get a
life.
