I'm just watching a TV interview with a female Native American Indian and how the c/ virus is 5 times more likely to kill them if they catch

~ it.....They live in Utah with no power and fresh running water and have no hospital to go to to get help...If it wasn't for small organization taking them masks and other many needed item ,far more would surly due.....
Why has not the United States United and rushed to aid the last of the only true Americans...You spend countless trillions on war related things and hardly anything on the people that lived freely on the lands now called America and no doubt Canada and Alaska to....
My heart goes out to these forgotten unwanted people ...

    What the American governments have done to the Native American peoples is reprehensible.  A once proud people has been reduced to a minuscule portion of land by comparison to what they inhabited before the English arrived.  Americans broke just about every treaty it made with them.  To say they live in poverty is an understatement.  Some of the tribes have been able to open casinos which have helped, but not nearly enough.  Then, again - the Aussies have treated the Aboriginal peoples dreadfully, too.  Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds.

    I think it's absolutely disgusting what the English so called Royal family and governments have do in the past and still do most like around the globe to this day..
    Dare to park a car without paying our Goverment extortionate amounts of money and you will be hounded to you die over here..
    The horrendous crimes the royals and government have committed for new lands to plunder of their minerials and it's still on going...They are refered to as the forgotten people....never a truer word spoken...
    How wonderful that you bothered to answer.....I wonder now why others have not..
    Are they worried that they might want their lands back...:(  
    Everywhere the English went they did the same... ...

    I have always been intrigued by the Native American Indian culture.  They are the first ecologists and environmentalists.  They knew how to work the land and that they had to move from one camp ground to another so they didn't deplete the soil or the animal life upon which they so heavily depended.  when they killed an animal, it was only for food and they used each and every part of the buffalo not only for food, but for warm clothing and the internal parts for other things.  They don't teach enough of that in school here.  Yes, they taught about Custer and his last stand and gloss over the other things we did to them, but it wasn't until I read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee did I realize just how horrid the white man was to them.

    Nearly all that went to America did the most evil things to the people that were living there...The English gave them syphilis and purposely infected the tribes with the plauge....Like you I think that the American Indians were and still are great people for their philosophy of live and love of nature helped them survive and did no harm to their enviroment....
    Where is the sense in killing every single buffalo .
    The English did the same in Austraila with the Aboriginal people.....To this day they still treat them the same way ....
    So many were killed because of man made religions to....don't believe and they killed people to force them to...They never seemed to work out that once dead ,they couldn't really believe in anything any more....

    Did you ever read about what the English did to the peaceful tribes that lived along the west coast of Canada and Alaska.....They were not at all warlike and gave away their their things and were not violent in any way...The English slaughtered 80 % of all those that lived there...They had great victories over those that never fought back...
    To this very day ,thousands of girls and women go missing yearly and are never seen again....I read that the head of our so called Royal family are involved toand the English government has stopped the Canidaian  Governent from doing anything about it...it involves the Duke and thirteen missing childred in their care when the visited Canada about ten years ago...

    I couldn't agree with you more.  It is horrendous what people do to each other and for no really good reason.  Most of the American Indian tribes were peaceful.  The buffalo herds in Yellowstone National Park have regenerated since they aren't permitted to be slaughtered.  Now with Trump opening up hunting in the some national parks, you can bet it won't long before herds are decimated again.  Maybe we'll be lucky and someone else will be our next president.

    True, but Biden, in my opinion, is the lesser of two evils.  At least Biden has some human feelings other than rage.  I believe Biden would be able to heal the rifts that Trump has caused with our "allies," and he isn't interested in repealing social Security or Obamacare.

    He's old, he may have what some think are antiquated ideas, they think of him as Obama 2.0 (which is not necessarily a bad thing), some are buying into the claim that his son was involved in the Ukraine mess.  I personally would like to see a younger person take the reins with some fresh idea on how to move the country forward, but I'm at a loss to come up with someone who would fit that description.  I don't want someone who leans far left or far right - I want someone with moderate ideas.

    Thanks for the vote of support, but politics, as an insider, would be like going to work in a pig sty.
