| Posted by George Hoerner on 11/24/09 at 08:59 PM Well said Tony and today we talk about "our" nation and would keep out the "illegals". What righteous trash spills from our mouths!!! |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/06/10 at 06:31 PM Hey Tony, worthy reminder of the way the world, especially in North America worked out. I always feel a kind of sadness in the loss of lifestyle and culture, and yet the world as a whole marches on to the beat of the melting pot, which I truly believe is a positive thing. Kudos! |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/07/10 at 06:47 PM The title of this poem is so apt. I think it is the dark side of this nation the way the Europeans and their American-born offspring treated the Native peoples. I am familiar with the Trail of Tears borne by the Cherokee and it is a particularly sad chapter in our history. I hope the gifts and perspectives of the Native cultures do not melt into the $ fabric of the dominant culture. Thanks for the wake up call. |
