How Can This Country Ever Move Forward When...

The education system sucks yes but that's only part of the problem, getting parents involved in their child's education is another part of it. Among other issues.

Get the parents involved? Now you are just asking too much of people. Seriously...the only problem solver people see today is having the government take care of it with some sort of bill or something...

And the Native Americans...well that is a whole different story that involves different standards from a different time and not an education problem. Well, it actually does involve and education problem in a way...they were not educated on the effects of diseases brought from Europe so they spread like crazy and might have killed more of the Native Americans than the crazy white people that came over here from Europe..."we" didn't really do shit to start with. However, that is one of the many theories...and they sadly all involve a loss of life and property no matter how you look at it.

Small Pox. The settlers gave them blankets they knew were infected with Small Pox. Europeans learned that from the Muslims. All those dusty old history books are a treasure trove of useless information like that.

If we were to give the land back to it's rightful owners... who would we give it too? The remnants of the tribes that were her when the settlers came or the ghost of the previous tribes they took it from?

[Saint Germain]

"War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means."

Karl Von Clausewitz

I don't think that any war was ever carried out for reasons of humanity.

There where and are always other reasons.

This is neither good nor evil, it`s just human behavior.
