This is MY America! - Page 9

OK, just pointing out it wasn't a start at the east coast and sweep across the continent. They were strategically bombed.

I wonder, since there were apparently many group migrations to the Americas, over thousands of years, could this have happened more than once?

Yeah, that's a good point. It was strategically placed, and strategically timed. Who can blame them for thinking it was the hand of God?

Pierce, with all due respect, you are stuck on stupid on this issue.

What do you mean by timed? The Spanish were running all over the place a hundred years before the Pilgrims.

That's right. That's why the Pilgrims showed up to find cultivated fields and empty villages. Couldn't time it better than that.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-07-2007, 10:09 PM

There wasn't enough land for them because the locals already had that under cultivation. But just to the South there was plenty of good land so they told Massasoit they wanted to farm that land. Massasoit said have at it, because the village that had been there had been wiped out by disease, and non of the other Indians wanted anything to do with it.

But that village was wiped out in 1617, three years before the Pilgrims arrived. As a matter of fact, it was Squanto's village and they were gone when he came back in 1619. So yes, there were fields that had been cultivated but had laid fallow for several years.

....And then the holiday of Thanksgiving was born. And every November for hundreds of years after that the white man and indian gathered under those tree at those wooden picnic tables and broke bread, and ate colored indian corn, and kentucky fried chicken. And there was peace.

And pumpkins, all children of the Great Pumpkin.

Charlie Brown: I supposed you spent all night in the pumpkin patch. And did the Great Pumpkin ever show up?
Linus: Nope.
Charlie Brown: Well, don't take it too hard, Linus. I've done a lot of stupid things in my life, too.
Linus: [furious] STUPID! What do you mean "stupid"? Just wait 'til next year, Charlie Brown. You'll see! Next year at this same time, I'll find the perfect pumpkin patch and I'll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He'll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he'll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I'll be waiting for him! I'll be there! I'll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch and I'll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see, Charlie Brown. I'll see the Great Pumpkin. I'll SEE the Great Pumpkin! Just you wait, Charlie Brown, the Great Pumpkin will appear and I'll be waiting for him...

Awwww, I always wanted Linus to see the Great Pumpkin. Then again, I was glad that for once they weren't calling Charlie Brown an idiot. I've always been a sucker for an underdog.
