<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1633530, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s not that I don&#039;t understand what you are saying, I do. I just don&#039;t happen to agree with that perspective. And I do have a somewhat unique perspective of my own given that I am 1/4 Cherokee and that my great, great grandfather was William F. Cody. While another one of my ancestors Gen. Rufus Putnam was sent by George Washington to found the very first town in what we now call the Northwest Territory. The founding of that town was the beginning of the colonization of the entire western frontier. I have always been proud of all aspects of my heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would dare to say that most of us have ancestors who played a part in one way or another in the development &amp; history of this country, or for that matter the entire world. And the entire world was colonized at one time or another. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, there were bad things done by all. But there were many good things done as well. Which of things do we point our fingers at ? Which of those things do we see as worthy of being honored and remembered ? Or do we sit and judge and say that we should honor this person for this reason, and yet denigrate the very same person for that reason ?</p><p><br /></p><p>That right there is the fallacy, and I might personally say, the idiocy, of political correctness - all of it, not just this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course logic like that is not what politically correct people want to hear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
