Clara,
You were the one who said folks who were wronged should just "get over it".
You are the one who insists that Native Americans are savages for the acts
of a few, despite the peaceful good nature of the rest of them. Now, it is
your turn to just "get over it".
I find it amusing that the legislature that refuses to honor Lincoln so long
after the civil war is over, is the same legislature that wretched and
waffled over apologizing to the descendents of former slaves until they so
watered down the words they used as to be disrespectful.
