429. You mean the propaganda of white male history . . . ?
Never really realized how much males are effected and invested in so many of these

myths!

Keep in mind that from the highest perspective, the "discoverers" were INVADERS ....

there were 40 million natives living here -- a few million or so on the out islands.

What the white man brought to this continent was their own sickeness both physical and

mental -- their violence, their desire to torture and murder.

In the end, it was genocide of the native American --

and the enslavement of the African here --

That may seem worthwhile to you ...

I imagine quite a few would disagree, especially non-whites.

In 500 years, patriarchy has so thoroughly polluted and destroyed our air, water, soil

as to put in question the very survival of the planet. Only 500 years!!

Also consider that in a mere 300 years of males studying physics what they came up with

was the atomic bomb.

Don't tell me -- I'm sure you're also grateful for that!!
